It doesn't 'look like' a fork. It is a fork. And obviously it's
not something they are hidding. So the previous comment from
korpalski pointing out that it "looks just like a rebranded
Truecrypt" is pretty stupid.

What's the difference between TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt?
VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for
system and partitions encryption making it immune to new
developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many
vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt.

Who knows if that's really true, tho.
I personally use DiskCryptor.
