Heh, I got a delivery status notification that the email for the TrueCrypt 
SlackBuild was not valid.

I'm glad you seen this.

[Slackbuilds-users] Truecrypt SlackBuild

2017-07-31 Thread Ed Ender 
I would like to recommend that TrueCrypt be removed from SBo.

It has not been maintained since 5/2014, even their website 
(http://www.truecrypt.org/) says that it should not be considered secure, and 
they suggest that Windows users to switch to BitLocker. 

The only viable replacement as far as I know is VeraCrypt (available on SBo) 
that has been forked from TrueCrypt, and is actively maintained.

Many vulnerabilities have been found and fixed since it was forked.
https://opencryptoaudit.org/
https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Release%20Notes.html

VeraCrypt also supports mounting TrueCrypt volumes according to the FAQ's, so 
there *should be* no issues migrating.

I have cc'd this to the TrueCrypt SlackBuild maintainer.

I'm aware, on Windows I'm using Veracrypt, but I can't find
Veracrypt on slackbuilds.org...

I see zulucrypt?
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/system/zuluCrypt/?search=veracrypt

I need this only for encrypted volumes on pendrives
(containing my password-protected private keys)
used on both linux and Windows machines.

[Slackbuilds-users] TrueCrypt

2016-06-04 Thread Ed Ender 
TrueCrypt is actually outdated, vulnerable and unmaintained.

You might be better off using VeraCrypt, it will also handle the old TrueCrypt 
containers. Eric has it prebuilt in his repo.

[Slackbuilds-users] truecrypt SlackBuild

2012-09-17 Thread Binh Nguyen 
This is to confirm that truecrypt builds fine here, so it can be removed 
from Checklist.txt.


One suggestion though: Use the direct source link provided by Arch, 
which is located at:


ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/tc/truecrypt-7.1a.tar.gz

Of course this would need a small change in .SlackBuild since Arch 
changed the tarball name from the original TrueCrypt 7.1a Source.tar.gz.
