Website of the week:
Description:
TrueCrypt is free open source disk encryption software with nearly unbreakable encryption. (Let me expand upon the term "nearly"...Basically, it would take you 90 years running a 2 GHz computer to decrypt the cipher...assuming you are only using a 9 character password. TrueCrypt recommends using at least a 20 character passcode. Bottom line - the longer and more unique the password, the more difficult it will be to break the cipher. One general rule of thumb surrounding password security is to never use a stand alone word or number sequence. Both of these have a high chance to be broken by using either a 'Dictionary' or 'Brute force attack'.
TrueCrypt is also recommended by one of the worlds top security guru's - Steve Gibson
