Dommage! Ce logiciel ne fonctionne pas. Il entre en conflit avec VERACRYPT qui fait la même chose.
Ce conflit empêche le “montage” du lecteur virtuel qui a été créé. Impossible d’entrer dans ce “disque virtuel” puisqu’il ne peut être monté!
Plantage direct au montage.Why does my security app show this when I try to access their website? I wonder?
Website blocked
We blocked this website for your protection because it’s a known phishing site.Be cautious ! Third party reviews show several concerns with this software. It appears to be a repackaged version of VeraCrypt.
[@Imamba] this one too? same named product by pdfzilla is a ripped off cut down no controls GUI for veracrypt binaries… even includes the veracrypt binaries illegally which are used by the GUI… yup they are both the same software… my advice IF you want to use this as an easy way to get veracrypt… really you’d be safer to use the legitimate veracrypt binaries from one of their distributions… but use the {app}\xa-ZN\PA-4\PA-3\PA-2\PA-1\data\VeraCryptFormat.exe to create the container and mount/unmount it with {app}\xa-ZN\PA-4\PA-3\PA-2\PA-1\data\VeraCrypt-x64.exe.
The default GUI container specifcation is unknown apart from it’s exFAT which is crap compared to NTFS, better than FAT32/16 but still less than optimal.
form the inno installer script embeded in this installer:
AppPublisher=PDFZilla.com
AppPublisherURL=http s://www.pdfzilla.com/securedrive.html
AppSupportURL=http s://www.pdfzilla.com/securedrive.html
AppUpdatesURL=http s://www.pdfzilla.com/securedrive.htmlNOT Autoclose as stated on the front page that is a link to pdfzilla.com anyway… don’t under stand why Ashraf is trying to pull the wool over our eyes?!?
[@TK] A BIG LIE!:
Stealth & Privacy
Because your data is stored within a single encrypted container, it leaves no footprint on your host operating system’s file structure when the drive is dismounted.The container file has a distinctive file extension with this program… with veracrypt no file extension is specified and when the container is to be opened the file open dialogue uses *,* faile mask so the file extension can be anything which is more stealthy than a fixed file extension than this… and this is an installed program so cannot be said to be stealthy in any way so if you put valuable secrets or evidence of criminal activity in the containers and have the attention of law enforcement or organised crime expect them to notice and pressure YOU for the key and container file names… Yet another way this degrades the stolen veracrypt experience!
[@TK] excellent review, TK. Thanks
[@TK]
Once again, thanks for your detailed analysis. Are there any issues with VERACRYPT? Would you recommend that program?
[@DON] Veracrypt is the descendant of the original open source product truecrypt that was abandoned after a long time as the goto solution due to a discovered vulnerability that apparently the original developers felt insurmountable (so I heard)
It is one of the best encrypted vault systems out there but it goes against my philosophy of don’t put anything on a computer you cannot live with it being revealed… and while there is always a measure of plausible deniability available with certain veracrypt configurations… there becomes a risk if you encrypt important or even not so important data on a system once it’s encrypted and if it get investigated it could be *anything* and certain people will do anything to obtain unknown secret information worth strong encryption… and one could be coerced into providing details of the encryption system used and pass keys/phrases on threat of physical harm to you or your loved ones… It’s not worth the risk of just the accusation that I have secrets on my systems as then you can get the press and opposing groups spreading disinformation that you can only dispute by revealing the aforementioned secrets and even then there will always be those that will say there’s probably other secrets stored elsewhere and claims of where there’s smoke there’s always fire… which is of course not true but many fall for it.
[@TK]
You make a valid point of not putting stuff on a computer you don’t want revealed, but many of us have stuff already on our computer we want protected from casual prying eyes. It doesn’t have to be National Security Level stuff or criminal behavior. It could just be a diary/journal. Stuff you could give up without any real risk to anyone if pressed. It still justifies the best method available to lock it down.
With that said, is there anything out there readily available that’s better than Veracrypt?
Thanks,Don
