![]() You wouldn't be able to store any online passwords because they could be verifies as false easily.įor example if an outer volume is created of 5 GB and an inner volume It would be quite consuming to double this size by giving lots of room to the outer volume.Īlso, what kind of "fake" sensitive files should go in the outer volume? If you think about it, it's not that easy to make fake confidential looking documents. If one was going to store a virtual machine in a hidden volume, that would take up quite a bit of space. Then the attacker wouldn't be able to write more than 1 GB (at the most) before seeing that there's a hidden volume.ĭo I understand this correct? Is this a concern or is there a safeguard against this? Does it help to make the outer volume large so the chances of writing to the free space with the inner volume are low. An advisory forces the owner to reveal the password but is given the decoy password to the outer volume. Wouldn't this make it easy for an attacker to learn there is a hidden volume? As soon as he can't write to free space he'd know.įor example if an outer volume is created of 5 GB and an inner volume is created with 4 GB. Then, the outer volume is mounted and any attempt to saveĭata to the area of the hidden volume will be rejected (until the Information about the size of the hidden volume (from the decrypted ![]() ![]() It only decrypts its header and retrieves In this mode, TrueCrypt does not actually When mounting an outer volume, the user can enter two passwords: Oneįor the outer volume, and the other for a hidden volume within it, Without risking that a hidden volume within it will get damaged I was wondering how is it possible to write (for example add a new file) to the outer volume with out risking overwriting the hidden volume?Īs of TrueCrypt 4.0, it is possible to write data to an outer volume In TrueCrypt free space always has random data in it, however in the case of a hidden volume it's not actually random data but the hidden volume. According to the documentation a hidden volume stays hidden because it appears as free space.
