avi video file stored on a TrueCrypt volume (therefore, the video file is entirely encrypted). For an illustration of how this is accomplished, see the following paragraph. There are no extra memory (RAM) requirements for TrueCrypt. Note that this does not mean that the whole file that is to be encrypted/decrypted must be stored in RAM before it can be encrypted/decrypted. Similarly, files that are being written or copied to the TrueCrypt volume are automatically being encrypted on the fly (right before they are written to the disk) in RAM. Files are automatically being decrypted on the fly (in memory/RAM) while they are being read or copied from an encrypted TrueCrypt volume. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).įiles can be copied to and from a mounted TrueCrypt volume just like they are copied to/from any normal disk (for example, by simple drag-and-drop operations). No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys.

On-the-fly encryption means that data is automatically encrypted right before it is saved and decrypted right after it is loaded, without any user intervention. To brute force such a fixed size dictionary.TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). Then of course AES is your friend, and the fastes cipher you can use, If you want to brute force your own home brew dictionary, build over the years. (because of the strong performance suggestions,Īnd the fact that it is the only cipher to be able to encrypt the OS) ?įor the record a long password with dictionary words, easy to remember doesn't really help.Īnd no replacements like 'a' with and o with '0' is not cleverĪnd 99 % of TrueCrypt users are using AES Store it on a usb flash memory that can be read by his notebook when it is unlocked with eh. Or store his password in another TrueCrypt folder with the same kind of password Write it down an type it over at every pc boot ? How must a traveler with his encrypted notebook disk remember such a password ? Of course you can use a password generator that will use all types of chars in a random order in the maximum lenght of the TrueCrypt password size.īut if you decide to use TrueCrypt in let's say a large company,with a lot of users,it might be unsafe or unusable. Its a good thing that threads like this and others in this forum make it clear, that although AES is not broken, it is possible to use brute forcers and retrieve more then 94% of the most used TrueCrypt passwords. Click to expand.You are right, forget cracking AES!! Brute Forcing is the real danger for this hyperfast cipher!
