Reposting here: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/9620d7a4b3/---Hi everyone,I want to share an update following my absence over the past few months.I have encountered some challenges but the most serious one is that Microsoft terminated the account I have used for years to sign Windows drivers and the bootloader. You can see below a screenshot of the message shown when I tried to sign in.Microsoft did not send me any emails or prior warnings. I have received no explanation for the termination and their message indicates that no appeal is possible.I have tried to contact Microsoft through various channels but I have only received automated replies and bots. I was unable to reach a human.This termination impacts my work beyond VeraCrypt and has consequences for my daily job.Currently I'm out of options.Regarding VeraCrypt, I cannot publish Windows updates. Linux and macOS updates can still be done but Windows is the platform used by the majority of users and so the inability to deliver Windows releases is a major blow to the project.I'm open to proposals and help.
I guess this means we finally know Veracrypt was safe.
use case for encryption?
Veracrypt on windows is perhaps the single most security theater thing I can imagine. It is 2026, we do not need to talk abuot Veracrypt or Truecrypt on ./g/, it is a joke.>CorporateUse bitlocker,any real company does, this is not a debaate this is a fact.>Home user>on /g/>using windows>acting like veracrypt is securemaybe try somewhere else honestly dude, we need computers to be secure (actually) and teh only realistic way to do that is on BSD/Linux with GNU Privacy Guard. Exactly like the 90's.

>>108555336i cant fucking believe people really attribute the deviil to the things they do, but they do
I personally use Linux, and I use veracrypt.This is mostly because I want my data to be accessible on Windows machine too, since I mainly use a USB drive.This said, I hope you can sort this out cause Veracrypt is goated software.Also it'd be cool if veracrypt accepted XMR donations

>>108555227i just posted tongue in cheek my guy you are not that important
Good to know that veracrypt was safe. As for bitlocker - It's actually free from back doors since mil and government use it. However, for corporate use, the keys can be stored on the azure domain, and they extended this to their personal accounts where if you are not careful your key will be 'backed up for you' on your microsoft account. I mean, what's wrong, you trust microsoft, right? You'd have to be to be using Windows in the first place. People who complain about bitlocker have some screws loose - You're already running windows. They already have the ability to suck up all your files and folders and send them wherever they want whenever you run it. The fuck do they need to backdoor the encryption for? You're stupid enough to just run windows for them.

>>108555137https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system
Who needs VeraCrypt? Run linux in Hyper-V with dm-crypt and samba.
>>108556164You don't need VeraCrypt if you are only on Linux but this signing issue is Microslop exclusive anyway and doesn't affect Linux use. My issue is basically the same as this guy: >>108555841I just enjoy having an encrypted thumb drive that works on any system, I still have to use Windows on a couple of PCs.
>>108555167>>108555303You know all normie devices such as iphones, android phones, macbooks, windows laptops, are encrypted by default now right?

>>108555881lmao, same
>>108556203yeah this is the best usecase and is mine as I previously stated.I could use LUKS but guess what? I need my files on my drive outside my home and I can't fucking access them. VeraCrypt solves this in a non pozzed way
I don’t get it. Why is getting a program signed even important?
>>108555164Shit nigger, I'm getting a steam deck next. Fuck this 1984 shit.
>>108556633Windows will refuse to load non signed drivers unless you disable DSE. Most users will never do this unless they're Hypervisor pirating.
>>108555182>Use bitlocker
so many glowies here trying to discourage people from using proper encryption...
>>108556322>groundless
people will seethe, but I wish M$ would just lock off kernel access entirely. If you don't trust bitlocker, why the fuck would you trust some other crypto system that lives inside an untrusted kernel?
>>108556667Oh I see thanks
>>108556703To be honest, they should just automatically ban anyone who says stuff like "what do you have to hide" or "think of the children" and other nonsense like that.
>>108556703bitlocker is a joke and is conceptually the same as locking your front door but keeping the key right in front of it under the mat. there are experiments where people were able to exfil the bitlocker keys from pins on the motherboard and tpm during boot. as long as the bad actor steals your whole computer and not just the hard drive by itself, bitlocker is useless. it's akin to preparing to the case where your front door gets stolen and the mat is left behind, and you don't want them to be able to open it.
>>108556738The default bitlocker behaviour is insecure. It just unlocks automatically from TPM. There's no exfiltration needed, you just turn the computer on. You need to go into group policy editor to enable proper passwords, and even then I think their "enhanced PIN" caps out at 20 characters.

>>108556960Only OS besides Mac that supports DRM video
>>108556717You deserve cancer.
>>108556960Because Windows works.
>>108555137use case for Windows?
>>108555137I bet the FBI under Kumar Patel Pajeet was frustrated when they encountered some encrypted harddrive. They then called Microsoft to give them the Bitlocker keys, like usual and when they were told that it uses Veracrypt which doesn't glow, they threw a fit and had Trump bommercall Nutella to demand they stop Veracrypt because it hurts Murrica's freedumz.
>>108558202veracrypt is derived of truecrypt, and runs on windows. it all glows. literally all of it lol, pointless as fuck, feds are precedented to give over bitlocker keys
>>108558216least retarded tripfag
>>108557335Clearly, it isn't working >>108555137>>108557167wym? Why would you do that to yourself?
>>108555303>only one i can think of,That's because you're a degenerate freak. With encryption, you, or a company, can exchange or dispose of old hard drives without any care. This is extremely important for anyone that has to deal with confidential client data.
>>108558216>feds are precedented to give over bitlocker keysOnly if you opt-in to save them to Microsoft for convenience. This option is appropriate for 95% of people, because their threat model doesn't include the FBI.Microsoft isn't turning over bitlocker keys to Jamal when he steals your laptop.
>>108556998I bet you don't even run LUKS, do you?
>>108555137Why does it need a driver or bootloader? just mount the volume like an iso
>>108555137Just drop support for windows.Winfags don't care for privacy anyway, why would they want this?
>>108561049>Winfags don't care for privacy anyway, why would they want this?Retard.>>108560978Because it has to work in kernel space. Same as dm-crypt.
>>108561113>Because it has to work in kernel space. Same as dm-crypt.it doesnt have to though, just treat the file as an encrypted archive and open it like a rar or 7z, no need for a driver
>>108561130>fileIt performs full disk encryption
Gov spent 4 million euro trying to break into a friend's HDD to no avail. Drive 's data has been to Israel, the US, Singapore... all for nothing. Eventually the case against him had to be dropped. Police chief never got over it, resigned and retired early
>>108561113It's true, just look at the retards asking what any of this means, they're all winfags.
>>108561262great pacific computing centre might had it
Dont worry guys, there's a workaround. Just follow these simple steps:1. Dont use jeetdows
>>108555137read your emails
>>108561708>just show us your papers goy
>>108561708The e-mail is about the backdoor they must add in order to get (((verified))).
>>108561681>1. Dont use jeetdowsThere’s no alternative that just works.
>>108555303Post nose.
>>108561930Every OS I ever tried has just worked.
>>108561957If your needs are basic, this can certainly be the case. Even BeOS could be a shit posting machine.
>>108561970No but I pick the right OS for the right job.Certainly picking jeetdows for privacy is as retarded as you can get.
>>108560723> Microsoft isn't turning over bitlocker keys to Jamal when he steals your laptop.There totally no disgruntled or drug-addicted people working at microsoft that would give up the keys to their buddy jamal for a quick high. Nor at the FBI.Roflmao.
>>108555951Bitlocker only prevents niggers stole your hard drive, just because MS never tells key to niggers.However for glowie is another word, government can enforce MS release the key
>>108562108>government can enforce MS release the keyYou don't have to give Microsoft the key. That's a convenience for Susan the soccer mom. >>108562016If your threat model includes the government you don't give them the key. Also no, Microsoft isn't giving anything to Jamal the laptop thief, he cannot even get in the front entrance. Are you retarded?
>>108562130> Also no, Microsoft isn't giving anything to JamalSo you think there’s no employees at microsoft and that it’s some kind of conscious individual entity?Interesting. Ask your mom to give you your meds.
>>108562287>everyone is out to get me>tell others to take meds
>>108555303>look at password screen>think about naked children
>>108556000key upload is automatic. if you have logged in to microsoft account on windows, consider the keys compromised.
>>108555182>bitlockerMore like bricklocker
who fucking cares lmaoI don't need microsoft's permission to install anything.What "application" or "drivers" would I EVER need to install? The internet is dead. Nothing interesting or novel has been created in ages, and I sure as hell don't play modernslop games. I do not need to comply with new HTTP-skirting web technologies to enable "DRM" or whatever. I have not installed a significant piece of new software in 15 years. Anything I need I can write myself. My keyboard is 43 years old. Can you even comprehend that? The device my fingers are touching right this second to communicate this message to you is old enough to be your father.
>>108555192>encryption is brought up>literally the first thing to enter anon's brain is "12 year olds"lmao not beating the allegations
>>108555167Pedophiles use it to hide their child sexual abuse material (child pornography). It's the only real use case for filesystem encryption at that level. If you're just, say, backing up company source code, a passworded zip works fine.>>108555192Found the pedophile.
I have the portable version of Veracrypt on my desktop.I never install programs like that, I go to their website and download the portable version, and it just works.I also use keyfiles, and hidden volumes.The reason for this security is simple. If I piss the feds/cops off, and they get my drives, they won't have access to my music, games, movies, TV shows, anime, cartoons, porn, text files, PDFs, and other information that can be used to build a psychological profile on me. It's the same reason I don't use Spotify, as Spotify can build a psychological profile on you based on your musical tastes.I keep all of my data as obfuscated and hidden as possible. My email is used for vanilla business reasons only. I never use X, Facebook/IG, Tiktok, Snapchat, Telegram, Signal, Discord, or any other social media or chat programs, I never leave YT comments, I never play online games, and I never chat in livestreams.I also intentionally feed false information back into the internet by browsing things I have no interest in, and even things I hate from time to time, so any internet usage fingerprinting has my tastes/personality vague and false.Windows 10 IoT Ent LTSCPS: I have had LEA interactions, including with USAF base security.
>>108555254Because food and shelter cost money and working some shitty drudge job with a boss is a waste of your life.
>>108555182VeraCrypt has been audited multiple times by different companies. Are you able to prove them wrong? I'm waiting for your thorough, in-depth technical analysis. I can't wait.
>>108556738>>108556758Why do you even bother posting if you brainlets don't even understand how bitlocker works, are you Indian?
