download truecrypt and add a "custom cascade of ciphers" to your truecrypt source code... so that your truecrypt hidden volume will be very hard to bruteforced with off the self tools (which is what most
No "off-the-shelf" tool exists for cracking any of the existing ciphers used in TrueCrypt beyond those that speed up a brute-force attack (like the Tableau TACC1441), but those tools just speed up the password->key generation process .. they aren't even attempting a true "keyspace" attack. Cheers, Michael Holstein Cleveland State University PS: as for "custom ciphers", I hear 2 rounds of ROT13 is pretty good, 4 is even better, and with 6 rounds, it's practically invincible. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
