security issues for fans of TS porn

[Niccolo]

I wonder if anyone else takes any measures to keep their PC secure, and to keep their TS porn secure on their PC.

Personally, I use an encryption program from Cypherix (http://www.cypherix.com/index.htm) to create vaults where I keep, among other things, all my porn movies & photos. It's user-friendly and you can set up your vault to look like a pdf document, or an avi movie, or whatever you like. Leave that among your other documents/movies, and you have an unobtrusive file which actually holds all your porn.

If you want to erase your tracks you could always use a program like Freeraser (http://www.codyssey.com/products/freeraser.html) from Codyssey. This overwrites the actual locations of a 'deleted' file, so that anyone using one of the the 'undelete' utilities out there won't be able to retrieve a file shredded in this way.

As for browsing habits, one can set Firefox on 'private browsing' easily enough. Doing this together with the previous two measures should leave one's PC/laptop looking fairly innocuous, if someone else gets on to it and starts snooping around to see what you've been up to.

Taking it a step further, one can also use a VPN to route on to the internet through a server in a different country. Anyone doing an IP check on you will only see this address & its location. It's not clear to me just how secure this is; apparently the wifi connections in Starbucks etc. are wide open, but if you're having a coffee & want to use a laptop, logging on to a VPN provides an encrypted 'channel' for you, so whatever you're doing in such an open location will be very secure. Apparently this technology will also make life difficult for your ISP to comply should anyone ever ask them to provide details of who you are & what you've been doing online. And anyone trying to track you from the outer reaches of the web, to your humble little PC will also find that extremely hard to do. So using a VPN might be worthwhile.

Just some thoughts on the subject ...

Wow, those are some excellent tips. Cheers.

I limit access by having a power on password for the computer and every hard disk in it. No Pw no startup.

I thought it might be worth putting together a quick guide on how to download and then keep TS porn in an encrypted vault on your laptop.

First of all go to your site and log in. On this occasion I'll log on to ladyboy-ladyboy.

There are some nice photos on there just now of a ladyboy who goes by the name of Lucky, so I'll download a few of those.

[Niccolo]

Right now I'm using an encryption program from Cypherix (http://www.cypherix.com/). The first thing to do is to boot up the program. You'll be prompted for a password. This is the password to your main vault. On this occasion I want to create a new vault elsewhere to keep porn in, so I'll click on 'Cancel'. If you do this, then you'll be left with the main menu on your desktop.

[Niccolo]

Next, click on 'More Vaults' then choose 'New Volume'. You can then set up your new vault however you like. In this instance I've called the new vault HA vault.pdf. It'll appear to your operating system as an Adobe document. Choose the size of your vault, and create a password. When you're ready, choose 'Proceed to Create Volume'.

[Niccolo]

You've now got a vault set up. Next you need to move your porn into it. Easy enough with Cryptainer. Just open up the folder with your porn pictures and move them across. In this instance I've just copied them over, because I want to keep the pictures after I delete the vault I'm using here as an example.

[Niccolo]

Close the folder that held the original pictures/video. You'll now be left with an encrypted vault holding the porn you've just downloaded. Click on 'Unload & Close' to close the vault down.

[Niccolo]

Now I'll open up the new vault, which should look like an Adobe document to your operating system btw, then I'll open one of the files (in this case, a photo) that's in the vault.

First of all then, click on 'More Vaults'. Then choose 'Load a Volume'. You should see the new vault, masquerading as an Adobe document. Obviously you don't need to make your vault look like an Adobe document, and you can put it in any folder you like on your hard drive. For now, I've simply chucked everything into one folder which I'll delete afterwards.

When you load the vault, you'll be prompted for the password you assigned when you created the vault.

[Niccolo]

And just to show that it all works, and to round off this exercise, I'll click on one of the photos I put in there earlier. Remember, I put everything, photos, vault, screen captures, into one folder here. You can put the vault anywhere you like, and call it a pdf file, or an avi file, or whatever. And you'd obviously move the pictures/movies into the vault instead of copying them, as I've done here. You'd be left with a vault that looks like any other file on your laptop. Here, I've got a file called HA vault that looks like an Adobe document. Inside are the pictures I downloaded earlier from ladyboy-ladyboy.

Anyway, that's a quick run-through in case anyone wants to conceal their TS porn on their laptop. I find the Cryptainer software to be user-friendly, and it provides a very useful layer of security. You can leave your laptop running, and it doesn't matter if anyone gets on to it briefly. (Well, it would matter, but they wouldn't be able to access your TS porn.) You can hand it in to get any repairs done, and the techie guy won't be able to copy your TS porn on to a memory stick and take it home to put on his own PC. It's a very handy piece of software. And it's fun to use.

[Niccolo]

While I'm at it I might as well give ladyboy-ladyboy (http://www.ladyboy-ladyboy.com/) a mention too. There are some really good photos and videos on there, and if you subscribe there's a great back catalogue to choose from. Here are some more photos of Lucky.

IN PRIVATE browsing...External hard drive?

[Niccolo]

You can use Cryptainer to set up an encrypted vault on an external hard drive so that you don't need to worry about anyone else plugging it into their own laptop, & getting access to whatever you've got on there.

If you keep videos on your external hard drive, then make your vault a dot avi file so it'll blend right in. If you keep Word documents, make it look like a Word document. And so on ...

[Niccolo]

If you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser, you can set it up so it doesn't record any sites you've visited. I've had the same 'history' for months now. So if anyone gets on to your laptop and clicks on 'History' then there's nothing to see.

cool class, is Cryptainer free?

[lilhell]

WOW
Thanks for all this new information

[JackBeLittle]

Great! Thank you.

[Niccolo]

There is a free version of the Cryptainer program available on the Cypherix (http://www.cypherix.com/) website. Cryptainer LE (http://www.cypherix.com/cryptainerle/index.htm) is the free program, but the size of the vaults you can create is limited to 100 Mb. That would be fine for some photos, or documents. Here's (http://www.cypherix.com/downloads.htm) the download page. You should be able to try it out & see what you think.

If you go to the website's home page and click on 'Store (http://www.cypherix.com/store.htm)' you'll be able to choose from the different versions of the program that are available. Cryptainer ME, which can create multiple encrypted vaults of 2.5 Gb each, costs $29.99.

Using the ME version of Cryptainer would allow you to start storing videos as well as photos etc. The next version up is Cryptainer PE, which would let you create vaults of 25 Gb. Obviously that's quite a bit of space, and you would be able to store a lot of videos on your hard drive using that particular version of the program. Naturally, it costs more. So it's a case of choosing whatever program suits. I've been using Cryptainer ME for a while now, and it works just fine for me.

If this was an issue for me, I'd go with truecrypt:

Thanks for all the information

[Niccolo]

No problem. One issue I have discovered is that if you set Firefox to private browsing, you might get a message asking you to re-install the Amazon dowloader whenever you buy an mp3 album. A 'cookies' issue, apparently.

[BeardedOne]

Wow!

Very useful stuff, thank you. :)

My only issue is: People hide their TS porn? :shrug

[hardharry585]

I just have an esata hard drive with its own password protected windows os.

[trish]

so what's the deal? you got little ones you're protecting from your stash?

[giovanni_hotel]

Not an issue for me at present, but it's useful knowledge for anyone who wants to keep data on their harddrives PRIVATE.

[GroobySteven]

Excellent post thanks. Will direct others to it!

[Niccolo]

Not just for porn but for any reason. Could be working on something, as in a work project, or have documents about this or that, whatever you want to put in a folder on your hard drive - in the same way you'd put a hard copy in a file cabinet with a lock on it - you can take a few straightforward steps to keeping everything on your PC in order.

[ncc-1701]

I don't hide anything xD I have a password on my computers but it's not that big of an issue for me. And I still live at home :P I even have this site bookmarked :) My downloads folder ends up full of ts porn :P

[PomonaCA]

I limit access by having a power on password for the computer and every hard disk in it. No Pw no startup.


What kind of 1993 protection is that? You could just pop out the cmos battery or flash the bios or put the drive in another computer or whatever. Endless possibilities. If you want to keep your stuff secure you'd better come up with something else for your own good.
