00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,440
welcome to lineus Tech tips today we're going to show you how to encrypt a

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,400
volume on your computer and that can be kind of like a like a container like a

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:21,240
folder that you put a bunch of stuff in or it can be in the form of an entire

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,119
Drive in your PC or even something like a removable drive so it's done at a

5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:29,320
partition level and we're going to start with how to create that container so the

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,600
first thing you do is use true Crypt basically thumbs up true cryp does

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,559
things right you want to never save history that's important click create

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,160
volume here you get a bunch of different options so we're going to show you the

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,840
create encrypted file container although create a non encrypt a non-system

10
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,800
partition Drive is a good one as well and it has a couple slightly different

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,680
steps that we'll show you at the end we're going to use a standard true Crypt

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,840
volume a hidden true Crypt volume is a little bit different from a standard one

13
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:00,399
so what that is is it's an encrypted it's an encrypted container that has an

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,640
encrypted container Within that's invisible so if you guys understand what

15
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:07,040
that means it's like if someone had a gun to your head and was like let me

16
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:14,119
into that encrypted folder or I'm going to pop you one you know and stuff um then you could

17
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:17,360
give them the password for that one and they would actually think you put some

18
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,439
fake stuff in there so they would think they're getting your important stuff but

19
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:25,159
it's actually within another container inside of it so that's probably

20
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:27,960
unnecessary for 99% of people unless

21
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:31,479
you're like the CEO of you know Toyota and you have a new car coming that's

22
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:37,880
better than all of your other cars and you don't want people to know about it um okay so you create a volume location

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,159
select a file so we're gonna we have we have one that we created already as a

24
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:47,159
test so this is just going to be the test one save and this file you can put

25
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,360
anywhere in the computer won't even know what to do with it if you double click

26
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:54,399
on it it'll just ask how to open it and it won't yeah won't know what to do

27
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:57,159
never save history and you can hide that anywhere you can throw it in like a

28
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:03,000
system folder you can even keep it on the desktop because it won't look like anything you could call it a and it

29
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:07,880
wouldn't be descriptive at all for encryption algorithm use AES and the

30
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:11,879
default hash algorithm is also fine click next you can specify the size of

31
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:15,280
your volume much like a folder you can just say okay we're going to create this

32
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:18,360
sort of this container that's going to be 10 gigs big and that's what we can

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,360
put in there so we're going to create one that's 10 gigs shows you how much

34
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:28,599
free space you have on the drive where you created the container next password

35
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,640
okay password creation lots of special characters are good it has limit of 64

36
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:38,879
characters but some of the strongest passwords and easiest to remember could

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:42,159
actually be a phrase like Capital Rumble

38
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,000
the cat is a good pet is actually an

39
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:49,800
extremely strong password because of how many characters it is you can confirm it

40
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,640
Rumble the cat is a good pet and then you can actually display password to

41
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,640
make sure that you typed it correctly as you were going next large files do you

42
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:02,440
want large files I would pretty much go with yes because that's just the uh the

43
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,920
file system that it's using so we're in NTFS this stage is important you want to

44
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,560
move your mouse around as randomly as possible because computers can't be

45
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:16,120
completely random they just don't work that way and they want you to kind of

46
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,959
make it more random by being random

47
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:22,840
about the way that you move the mouse so there you go that's about as random as I

48
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:26,000
think I can be the longer you go the stronger the volume will be so if you

49
00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:32,959
want to sit there for an hour you could but I suspect there's a law of diminishing returns at some point there

50
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:35,280
now we format our encrypted volume and Y

51
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,799
SSD and fast processors it is uh creating itself at around 600 megabytes

52
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:44,400
per second so we'll be able to uh come back and well you know what whatever you

53
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:49,159
guys can just chill you know what's a good joke you hear the one about the uh

54
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:57,280
actually I don't I can't think of any jokes right now you hear the one about the uh SSD

55
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,280
that uh race a hard drive they beat

56
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,120
it and I'm getting like the thumbs up from slick do you hear the one about the

57
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:09,439
mechanical keyboard that died and I'm getting the sad face from

58
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:13,799
slick and apparently it's alive now so Slick's keyboard is fine there we go and

59
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:20,400
we're done so now what we're going to do is go

60
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:20,400
into our documents folder be

61
00:04:21,479 --> 00:04:28,880
done okay you know what it doesn't matter because I can show you guys the other one I created so here legitimate

62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:33,199
G-rated movies is right here it's some file it's five gigs if you double click

63
00:04:31,039 --> 00:04:36,919
on it it has no idea what to do with it so the way that you actually access it

64
00:04:35,479 --> 00:04:41,080
is you go to there we go that one's done now so

65
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,000
you only click next if you want to create another one so actually yeah I

66
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:52,440
said I'd do that at the end so let's do this first so mounting a

67
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:54,240
drive look okay so you enter a hold on

68
00:04:52,440 --> 00:05:03,080
yeah you have to select a file first so we're going to go with legitimate G-rated movies we are going to mount it

69
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:04,320
to drive letter m so this one was this

70
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:11,639
strong password

71
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,639
okay yeah this oh I don't think I

72
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:19,280
capitalized okay no really this is a good way to do

73
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,720
it there we go so now it is mounted in

74
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,880
Drive M so now our computer actually just sees it as a normal disc so you can

75
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,919
see that there are legitimate G-rated movies inside if we wanted to create if

76
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:38,880
we wanted to mount another encrypted volume we would just select another Drive letter select a different file

77
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:44,039
such as test one and click Mount typing

78
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,800
in uh Rumble the cat is a good pet and

79
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:52,000
that one is now mounted in Drive letter oh there you go there's our 10

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:56,360
gig volume now the procedure is slightly different for something like a USB drive

81
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,479
so in this case we're going to take it one step further by not only encrypting

82
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:04,240
our volume but also having it hidden inside a pen so this USB drive is going

83
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,800
to go into the computer somehow there we

84
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:12,120
go okay that did not fit that well so

85
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:18,199
we're going to go ahead and put it in that one all right so removable dis e

86
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,080
encrypt a non-system part okay so we're going to create a standard one again

87
00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:26,800
we're going to select our device so you actually select the partition right

88
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,919
there partition 1 3.7 gigs which is essentially the whole drive you can

89
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:33,759
select a whole drive but it won't work if you already have partitions on it

90
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:40,080
click next create encrypted volume and format it there we go and from there all

91
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:42,560
of the options are pretty much the same

92
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:47,160
it takes a while to create the encrypted partition on a USB drive because they're

93
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,599
so slow so what we've done is we've finished that I'm going to go ahead and

94
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,000
plug this in now there's a couple different ways that you can access them

95
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,240
you can see here you need to format the disc and drive E before you can use it

96
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,160
if you format it it will format it it'll wipe it because Windows doesn't know

97
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,919
what to do with this encrypted volume on here so a couple different things you

98
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:10,280
can do you can Auto Mount devices so that true Crypt will look for it and

99
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:17,960
help Windows find it or you can select a device and go manually to the device

100
00:07:14,599 --> 00:07:20,280
and mount I actually forget the password

101
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:27,680
for this what was the password for this one is it wasn't the no it wasn't like

102
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:32,479
this is a good password this is a strong password oh wait no it was the rumble

103
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,479
one it was the rumble Rumble is a good

104
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:35,479
pet

105
00:07:36,919 --> 00:07:43,800
no Rumble is a good cat whatever the point is if someone doesn't know your

106
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:48,479
password it'll take them years and years and years to Brute Force this so uh make

107
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,840
sure that you remember your password or you're going to end up in a situation

108
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,639
like this and you cannot get it back

109
00:07:52,840 --> 00:08:00,000
