Does anyone know of a tool that will allow me to create a password encrypted folder on an external hard disk?
It's officially 1984 and we should all have a place to store our shit.

Yah man there are tools for this that come with most operating systems just google a how to guide this is very easy and common, many external hard drives even come with encryption software I know Kingston does
Jayden Wright
Bitlocker to go
Carson Collins
Use linux.

multi kek

Veracrypt.
Easy, even for retard
Lincoln Foster
agree
Isaiah Wilson
I'm gonna check this out. Thanks guys.
I'm assuming it will hold up if the cops seized the hdd?
Michael Cooper
I don't know man.
I'm overly paranoid, but corporations are already selling our data to the lowest bidder. Wouldn't trust a corporation with my "private" folder.
Asher Miller
Nope, smash and burn. It's the only way to truly keep cops or anyone from cracking the encryption and keep in mind that some companies are required to give backdoor access, keys to unlock or aid to get data.
Jordan Thompson
Nope. None of those "out of the box" ones will...
Landon Anderson
This is why I was hoping for some.. independent? Software.
I'm not hiding any really bad stuff. It's not FBI level I'm expecting.
Just keeping the local police types out.
Easton Reed
Local police are given FBI help and aid.
Henry Lewis
Then you'll need to take the time to learn about encryption and not just download something that does it for you.
Levi Stewart
Not US.
And I'm pretty sure the local police wouldn't ask for help from national security to get hold of some torrents and pron.
Austin Russell
Linux, win a call that if the password is mistyped it activates a encryptware (wannacry) and after the hd is fully infected run rm -rf on root.
Adrian Nguyen
So, your local police in whatever shithole country you are in is give FBI help ever upfront or through back channels and that's the best case scenario. Pray your shit country didnt make a deal with the NSA or CIA.
Brody Thompson
yea, learn how to code you stupid mutt
Isaiah Nguyen
That is actually the plan.
But that doesn't help right now unfortunately.

I've used true crypt before and it worked pretty good. don't see why it wouldn't be still relevant
Jack Long
VeraCrypt (previously mentioned) is a "fork" of the, now discontinued, earlier "TrueCrypt".
See Wikipedia article about VeraCrypt to learn about TrueCrypt's vulnerabilities:
Matthew Kelly
just go to run, type syskey, put a random password in, (it will create a random string from that anyway) and hit enter. Now you can put passwords on anything
Jason Morgan
Depends on what you try to hide.
I can't guarantee NSA wouldn't be able to crack into it, since they could possibly leverage some dark ass zero day.
But for classical, common rights offending, it's OK.
Gabriel Gray
Theres no backdoors into 256 bit encryption.
Jackson Reyes
This OP its simple and safe.
Luke Rogers
Thanks I guess it's time to update my software. Not that I have anything to hide.
