00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:12.440
welcome to lineus Tech tips today we're going to show you how to encrypt a

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

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

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

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:29.320
partition level and we're going to start with how to create that container so the

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:33.600
first thing you do is use true Crypt basically thumbs up true cryp does

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.559
things right you want to never save history that's important click create

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

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.840
create encrypted file container although create a non encrypt a non-system

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:48.800
partition Drive is a good one as well and it has a couple slightly different

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

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:56.840
volume a hidden true Crypt volume is a little bit different from a standard one

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

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:03.640
encrypted container Within that's invisible so if you guys understand what

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

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

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:17.360
give them the password for that one and they would actually think you put some

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.439
fake stuff in there so they would think they're getting your important stuff but

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:25.159
it's actually within another container inside of it so that's probably

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.960
unnecessary for 99% of people unless

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.159
never save history and you can hide that anywhere you can throw it in like a

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

00:02:01.039 --> 00:02:07.880
wouldn't be descriptive at all for encryption algorithm use AES and the

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:11.879
default hash algorithm is also fine click next you can specify the size of

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

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

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

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:28.599
free space you have on the drive where you created the container next password

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:32.640
okay password creation lots of special characters are good it has limit of 64

00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:38.879
characters but some of the strongest passwords and easiest to remember could

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:42.159
actually be a phrase like Capital Rumble

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.000
the cat is a good pet is actually an

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:49.800
extremely strong password because of how many characters it is you can confirm it

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.640
Rumble the cat is a good pet and then you can actually display password to

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:58.640
make sure that you typed it correctly as you were going next large files do you

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

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

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:10.560
move your mouse around as randomly as possible because computers can't be

00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:16.120
completely random they just don't work that way and they want you to kind of

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:18.959
make it more random by being random

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

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

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

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:35.280
now we format our encrypted volume and Y

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.799
SSD and fast processors it is uh creating itself at around 600 megabytes

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

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

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

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.280
that uh race a hard drive they beat

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

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:09.439
mechanical keyboard that died and I'm getting the sad face from

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

00:04:12.760 --> 00:04:20.400
we're done so now what we're going to do is go

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:20.400
into our documents folder be

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

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

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

00:04:35.479 --> 00:04:41.080
is you go to there we go that one's done now so

00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:46.000
you only click next if you want to create another one so actually yeah I

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

00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:54.240
drive look okay so you enter a hold on

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

00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:04.320
to drive letter m so this one was this

00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:11.639
strong password

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.639
okay yeah this oh I don't think I

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:19.280
capitalized okay no really this is a good way to do

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:21.720
it there we go so now it is mounted in

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

00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:31.919
see that there are legitimate G-rated movies inside if we wanted to create if

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

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:44.039
such as test one and click Mount typing

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:46.800
in uh Rumble the cat is a good pet and

00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:52.000
that one is now mounted in Drive letter oh there you go there's our 10

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:56.360
gig volume now the procedure is slightly different for something like a USB drive

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

00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:04.240
our volume but also having it hidden inside a pen so this USB drive is going

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:10.800
to go into the computer somehow there we

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.120
go okay that did not fit that well so

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

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:22.080
encrypt a non-system part okay so we're going to create a standard one again

00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:26.800
we're going to select our device so you actually select the partition right

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.919
there partition 1 3.7 gigs which is essentially the whole drive you can

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.759
select a whole drive but it won't work if you already have partitions on it

00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:40.080
click next create encrypted volume and format it there we go and from there all

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:42.560
of the options are pretty much the same

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:47.160
it takes a while to create the encrypted partition on a USB drive because they're

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

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:54.000
plug this in now there's a couple different ways that you can access them

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

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

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.919
what to do with this encrypted volume on here so a couple different things you

00:07:02.599 --> 00:07:10.280
can do you can Auto Mount devices so that true Crypt will look for it and

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:17.960
help Windows find it or you can select a device and go manually to the device

00:07:14.599 --> 00:07:20.280
and mount I actually forget the password

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

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

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.479
one it was the rumble Rumble is a good

00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:35.479
pet

00:07:36.919 --> 00:07:43.800
no Rumble is a good cat whatever the point is if someone doesn't know your

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

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.840
sure that you remember your password or you're going to end up in a situation

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.639
like this and you cannot get it back

00:07:52.840 --> 00:08:00.000
