Is there a way to hide Porn on your Lap top?

[bat1]

so nobody can find it?


like some software that can hide it even from the Police?

thanks...

going to Iraq and want to bring some but it's not allowed

[renoned]

Make a hidden partition

[kukm4]

how much is "some"

X ammount of GB

From a capable and motivated government agency, probably not. But I've heard of people in e.g. Dubai simply password protecting files or partitions and sailing through airport laptop inspections. Just hearsay though. Ultimately you assess your own risk and make your own choices. Good luck.

[GrimFusion]

Yeah, there's no real way of doing that. The only thing I can think of is sticking it all into a huge, 128-bit password protected RAR file. Any encryption is going to take time decrypting and I doubt you'd want to find something to do for five minutes every time you try accessing your porn.

Or, look into an old, free version of Daemon Tools. Use some kind of funky CD-image type like *.b6t and write all your porn to a CD or DVD disc image. Save it out of the way somewhere. Anytime you want to pull up your porn, you'd need to load the disc image into Daemon Tools, and other than opening the CD image up in whatever app you used to create it (uninstall it, smarty), the image is otherwise inaccessible.

it was the subject of a news story a few years ago.


the government wanted the password on a laptop


with files encrypted with PGP




but the guy would not give up the password and the


statue of limitations was running out.

Security quality
To the best of publicly available information, there is no known method which will allow a person or group to break PGP encryption by cryptographic or computational means. Indeed, in 1996, cryptographer (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Cryptographer) Bruce Schneier (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Bruce_Schneier) characterized an early version as being "the closest you're likely to get to military-grade encryption."[1] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-0) Early versions of PGP have been found to have theoretical vulnerabilities and so current versions are recommended. In addition to protecting data in transit over a network, PGP encryption can also be used to protect data in long-term data storage such as disk files.
The cryptographic security of PGP encryption depends on the assumption that the algorithms used are unbreakable by direct cryptanalysis (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Cryptanalysis) with current equipment and techniques. For instance, in the original version, the RSA (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/RSA) algorithm was used to encrypt session keys; RSA's security depends upon the one-way function (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/One-way_function) nature of mathematical integer factoring (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Integer_factorization).[2] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-1) Likewise, the secret key algorithm used in PGP version 2 was IDEA (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/International_Data_Encryption_Algorithm), which might, at some future time, be found to have a previously unsuspected cryptanalytic flaw. Specific instances of current PGP, or IDEA, insecurities—if they exist—are not publicly known. As current versions of PGP have added additional encryption algorithms, the degree of their cryptographic vulnerability varies with the algorithm used. In practice, each of the algorithms in current use is not publicly known to have cryptanalytic weaknesses.
New versions of PGP are released periodically and vulnerabilities that developers are aware of are progressively fixed. Any agency wanting to read PGP messages would probably use easier means than standard cryptanalysis, e.g. rubber-hose cryptanalysis (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Rubber-hose_cryptanalysis) or black-bag cryptanalysis (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Black-bag_cryptanalysis) i.e. installing some form of trojan horse (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)) or keystroke logging (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Keystroke_logging) software/hardware on the target computer to capture encrypted keyrings and their passwords. The FBI (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/FBI) has already used this attack against PGP[3] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-2)[4] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-3) in its investigations. However, any such vulnerabilities apply not just to PGP, but to all encryption software.
In 2003, an incident involving seized Psion (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Psion) PDAs (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/PDA) belonging to members of the Red Brigade (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Red_Brigade) indicated that neither the Italian police (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Italian_police) nor the FBI were able to decrypt PGP-encrypted files stored on them.[5] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-4)
A more recent incident in December 2006 (see United States v. Boucher (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/United_States_v._Boucher)) involving US customs agents (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/United_States_Customs_Service) and a seized laptop PC (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Laptop_PC) which allegedly contained child pornography (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Child_pornography) indicates that US Government agencies find it "nearly impossible" to access PGP-encrypted files. Additionally, a judge ruling on the same case in November 2007 has stated that forcing the suspect to reveal his PGP passphrase would violate his Fifth Amendment (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution) rights i.e. a suspect's constitutional right not to incriminate himself.[6] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-5)[7] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-6) The Fifth Amendment issue has been opened again as the case was appealed and the federal judge again ordered the defendant to provide the key.[8] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-7)
Evidence suggests that as of 2007, British police (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/British_police) investigators are unable to break PGP,[9] (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-8) so instead have resorted to using RIPA (http://www.hungangels.com/wiki/Regulation_of_Investigatory_Powers_Act_2000) legislation to demand the passwords/keys. In November 2009 a British citizen was convicted under RIPA legislation and jailed for 9 months for refusing to provide police investigators with encryption keys to PGP-encrypted files.[10 (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/#cite_note-9)

Just use a USB flash drive that looks like an ordinary key chain. Problem solved.

[BlueEyed84]

Um, I used to just make a folder and under the folder options make it a "hidden folder". Then under your file browser you can "show" or "hide" hidden folders. Always kept shit hidden from the family because they didn't know how to search "*.jpg".

that works good and it's free:dancing:

MySecretFolder, one of many little programs that keeps files invisible until password accessed.

The next step is to hide the the MSF executable somewhere on your PC, so no one knows that actually hiding something.

When is someone going to finally invent a detachable HD for PCs????

One day.....!

If someone at the border is looking for porn and knows to scan the directory for msf or my secret folder files, couldn't that tip them off? Maybe the agents aren't that savvy though and don't know the program exists.

Sorry for coming across as a dick yesterday GH. I think I went too far.

[giovanni_hotel]

Wow.
Apologies always place the burden of acceptance on the recipient....a dirty little trick!!lol
Still, I wouldn't think it was in your DNA phobun to reach out in such a way, so...dang, apology accepted.
None really needed since I'm sure I pushed back equally as hard.
You punch my buttons phobun(!!- not in a good way!lol), but I don't hate ya. We simply have a difference of opinion on a few particulars, no biggie.

Now, back to MSF.
It's not the best encryption program, I'd say middle of the road. It should protect you from acquaintances, friends, etc. who go snooping around where they weren't invited.

I haven't tried re-naming the MSF executable, to see if it would still come up in a directory search.
The best way to protect secret files/folders is to store them on a PW protected external HD. Not that expensive and some are wallet sized which allows them to be physically hidden anywhere one chooses.

Burden of living in a free society.

Some people will take the rights we all have to privacy and pervert them.

Anyway, these are superficial methods of hiding data. None of these are going to protect your private HD files from a forensic data mine search, unless you 'scrub' your PC or reload your OS.

[audifan]

Probably, but like g_h said. And what's being discussed here ain't rocket science. Plus the old "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.

[icarus2112]

I like the idea of just stashing a bunch on a small memory card and hiding it in the middle of of your clothes or with a bunch of other oddities. When I travel I usually have my laptop, I pod touch, phone, wireless internet usb adapter, charging cords and power outlet adapters in my back pack. Of course the phone, laptop and I pod is out for individual scanning but all the other stuff is crammed into one pocket for easy location, doubt a scanner/ x ray is going to easily identify a tiny flash memory card stashed in with this stuff, or in a bag with all your shaving and other toiletries.

[beandip]

When is someone going to finally invent a detachable HD for PCs???? Ummm, external HDD's have been available for 15 years now. you can put a whole OS on a micro SD card. Notice that PGP is "nearly" unbreakable. Like "almost" pregnant. Given enough time and resources...anything can be hacked. Hell, you can get an electron microscope and ray trace the surface of a HDD....getting down to the binary code that is magnetically arranged on the surface.....given enough time and resources, nothing is impenetrable.

I mean a swappable HDD, plug-and-play. Not talking about an external HDD.

I want a removable internal HD drive that's as convenient to automatically load and remove as a CD ROM.
If that level of hardware technology is available, I don't know about it, which is quite possible!:geek:

[natina]

if you actually encrypt the binary data that written to the drive it

would take more then a life time to get the data especially since the data

is xor-ed to remove any patterns

You can get adapters that plug in via USB that do all that stuff. Go look on newegg.

They're not too expensive. But then you got to smuggle in a whole hard drive full of porn.

You can also do this all internally. There are other devices for that.

[anaxander]

Encoded usb drive + body orafice FTW!

[mealticket]

just get a cheapass flash drive, disguise it as something else and be on ur way

[beandip]

I mean a swappable HDD, plug-and-play. Not talking about an external HDD. No prob. next time you buy or build a PC..get a server case instead and a server Mobo...you can hot swap to your hearts delight for little more cost of an equivalent PC.

[beandip]

....and actually many laptops have hot swap HDD's....no biggie. Phuck, micro SD cards are so small you could easily incorporate them into friggin' earrings for gods sake. You can put DSL LINIX on them and have a whole OS on there. Not sure if any are bootable as of yet... but I'm sure there's a hack for that too.

[IndyCloset]

If you're going to Iraq under your own accord, then consider the lack of porn punishment enough.

[south ov da border]

will check this stuff out...

[Teydyn]

Notice that PGP is "nearly" unbreakable.
It "just" takes a few years to break the encryption.


Hell, you can get an electron microscope and ray trace the surface of a HDD....getting down to the binary code that is magnetically arranged on the surface
Then you have the encrypted date, same as when you just read the HD? Still takes a few years to decrypt.

Yeah I believe you can boot from the SD cards. I know of other small linux distro's that you can boot from the SD card.
