Dude, what about torrents and warez sites, police can still take your PC if they think you illegally download stuff.

I'm paranoid because theres been a lot of break ins lately advertised in my local paper, some of them sound really crazy and unbelievable lol and I thought that If they see my computer through the window, they might think they can make some cash. I just want to be safe than sorry.

1) They don't advertise break ins... that's called NEWS.. as in NEWS PAPER!

2) Get a DOG!

Truecrypt with a secondary hidden partition if you want true deniability should someone demand the passwords

In reality you'd never get away with 'woops I forgot lolz'. Nobody will believe you.

In reality how long would it take to break a 50 char password encryption. Im guessing a VERY long time? If its even possable at all If uppercase lowercase numbers and punctuation was also used.

Danny, they don't have to be able to break your password, that's the point. It's an offense not to hand over your password no matter what you've encrypted.

Is there no loop hole ? Not worried about police, just nice to know

Didnt mean it like that

i know it is. I was reading the article and it said they are still attempting to break it. It was more of a question just because i would like to know

I dont password anything on my pc xD there is nothing interesting on it.

I doubt it would be crackable in our lifetime.

I remember an article not so long ago about a Brazilian gang that had encrypted their data with Truecrypt and the FBI gave up trying to crack (http://news.techworld.com/security/3228701/fbi-hackers-fail-to-crack-truecrypt/

Completely infeasible in terms of the computing power required (so long as AES remains strong).

very easy, as long as they can find the postit note you write the password on as its too long to remember...

you have to work out whats longer in prison, 2 years for not giving over the password or the time given because of the contents...

however where do you stand if you forgot the password? maybe thereis nothing bad in the encrypted volume anyway?

Divide by Zero · 4 Feb 2011 at 17:17

Defo Pedo... police will not steal your accounts / private info so you dont need to worry about that.

This has to be the most suspect thread I have ever posted in. Hummmmm

It's five years and read the thread as I've already linked to a case where someone tried to claim that. Nobody believed him and he went to prison for 5 years.

I think how long you get would depend on what they suspected you of in the first place.... but this is still a dogy thread.

Are you working on patents and stuff potentially worth a large sum of money? Cos thats about the only thing that makes sense for these sort of lengths, if it was corporate espionage your work would already have it covered. The way youre talking is as if someone would specifically target your PC for its content

You claim to be worried about a random burglar, if thats the case a simple windows password will be enough to make em bin it once they realise they cant get in, your average scrote burglar tends not to be a master hacker too

Second encrypted HDD That you have to supply a password to view/open files.

As if you system is on and you are logged in adnt eh files are on your encrypted HDD which you have just decrypted by loggin in...if I have a nasty bad boy or your machine that I can use to remote in...I can still view them! Solution - second encrypted HDD that does not decrypt on login
