Hello, I would like to have the ability to write to Normal, Hidden, and unencrypted volumes within a Hidden OS. I understand this is a limitation within the Hidden OS setup, but I do remember there was a mention about it some years ago, as seen here: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/792b8f97/#7ddc Is this a possibility in the near future? Thank you.
@idrassi Thanks for looking into this! So it wasn't just me ;) But no, actually, this is a very useful security feature. Say you use RDP and just save the password in memory of your local machine, and you forget to log out. This prevents someone from logging in with the saved credentials. A scenario can be when you are hosting a chat server and are out of town for a week, and someone discovers your Windows login credentials. They try to RDP, and it crashes, preventing access. In any case, this is...
I enabled "Clear encryption keys from memory if a new device is inserted" After I did, I disconnected from the machine (Remote Desktop) I signed back in, and I got some screen errors, and then I switched over to the physical machine itself, BSOD. Does this feature clear the keys when a Remote Desktop session is created? Or did I just get a BSOD at the wrong time?
Edit: CMD suggestions are best left for detailed walkthroughs, agreed. In any case, UEFI causes whole drive encryption to be more difficult.
Hi Jean. This was a problem I had with an earlier install with Windows 10. If you want to encrypt the whole entire C drive, here is one way I have done it: Your problem seems to come from the fact that your drive is partitioned with GPT: GUID Partition Table. This is a new format mainly for people (Enterprises) that need to have dozens of partitions on a single drive. What you want is your drive formatted with MBR: Master Boot Record. I'm going on assumptions here and saying you have Windows. The...
Thanks for the clarification, this helps! I do like the radical approach. This seems to be the safest option, especially with machines in untrusted environments.
Regarding RAM Encryption, I have it enabled, restarted the machine, with no problems. Even playing the most demanding modern games doesn't seem to show any slowdown. Under Settings >> Performance and Driver Configuration, I have the checkbox showing it's enabled, but is there any other flag or UI area that shows confirmation that RAM Encryption is enabled?
Interesting. I was on 1.23 HF2 and I didn't have to do that. I just ran the UI without admin privileges, and it came up as you would think with an Admin. Perhaps I did something to the install or settings.
