How good is TrueCrypt I tried it and when I was using a short password it told me I should use over 20 letters or it could be cracked.
It said you should always use at least 20 characters.
Now my question is if you use a combination of "*#$and22" how easy would that be to crack?
Your password can be broken in 1.68 hours on this computer. That is by brute force. Rainbow tables will take seconds.
My point is what good is encryption program if you can easily crack it.

Any idea for a free one.For a free product, Truecrypt. This is not centrally administered, but it does a great job if you don't have a bunch to control. For a thumbdrive, you will want to use the "portable" version which is something that you can do from the installed product or you can specify when you install... Someone else posted something in this thread at the bottom about locking down thumbdrives/auditing/etc... See below, please.Please note that that when I plug my thumbdrive in the usb port it should prompt me the password interface so that after putting the right password I am allow to access the thumbdrive content. The usb drive will b plug in any machine.Kindly advise.Lovena-----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of ?????????? ?????

I'm looking for a cost effective way to accomplish the following: 1. Encrypt the contents of the device 2. Audit files copied to and from the device 3. Prevent certain file types from being copied.Guardian Edge has a pretty nice product for this.I am currently looking at GFI's product and Devicewall. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
