encryption itself won't do much, in those situations one would need to
use steganography or some form of plausible deniability.
The only feature that could be tempting in Truecrypt is the hidden
volume option; when I tested that in

I have tried to make my computer clean memory on shutdown (similar to TAILS).
However when I tried it, it would always freeze my computer, and I gave it
up.
Using bleachbit works, but I doubt it is so thorough as the TAILS cleaning
process.

You can do that using ccrypt.
You type in the current folder:
ccrypt *
and thats it.
It could be something like
search for a line with [Warning] in this file, and if found, copy the entire
line for that file. I will take a look at that later. But if you could
provide an example I would appreciate :)
By open source I meant just that: the source is available. That means one can
analyze the code. The fact that OSE doesn't accept TrueCrypt as a open source
project doesn't mean that the software is not open sourced.
Now, again, I agree that TrueCrypt is not the best option when it comes to
How would that compare with GPG encryption? ccrypt apparently uses Rijndael
cypher 256 bits. I wonder if that is as strong as GPG encryption.
However it's a good option thanks :)
I think this might work:
grep Warning your_input_file your_output_file
Grep copies every line which contains Warning in your_output_file.

To answer my own question:
gpg -r 'keyname' --encrypt-files *.*
It will encrypt all the files in the specified folder with the public key you
choose. If you have multiple files and wish to encrypt each one with a
different key, just do:
gpg --encrypt-files *.*
you will be asked for each
Open source doesn't mean the source code is available. The OSI gives a
definition for open source; it's about the same as free software.
I'm not in support of open source, but diluting the term to include
closed-source software is not good. It's not very nice, first of all (kind of

I would agree 100% with you if it was a icon maker program or a sound editing

matter in this case, even if one doesn't give a damn about ethical side of

Hello,
How can check my firewall settings? I don't know even if it's installed :)
Sorry for my newbie questions but I am a novice user who like free software
philosophy.
I checked the documentation but I did not find the answer there. Should I

Hi, I recommend gufw, is very intuitive and easy for beginners.
Use UFW for your firewall, or GUFW as a GUI.
Also get AppArmor, which restricts applications to only access certain
resources. It comes installed by default on Trisquel, but you will have to
activate the profiles. See the Ubuntu wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor
I don't know of any
You don't need a firewall or any other security programs. You might want to
remove the ssh server though if you don't use it.
For reading, check out https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/
I'm not much of a novice user to Debian-based distros (although I'm new to
Trisquel), but AppArmor is still easy to use, just run
sudo aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/*
This should enforce all AppArmor profiles (although IIRC the chromium profile
stops chromium from working). You should have
I too always doubt open source programs but like free software.
Why do you think he needs one?
Thank you for your response. GUFW installed, very easy to use :)
I've also installed in Abrowser HTTPS Everywhere. Is it worth it to use?
To clarify, many GNU/linux distros don't install a firewall in default
install. IN my opinion that is a bad choice, because while many people who
came from windows have no idea about SSH, most know about firewall and will
activate it if they have one. Also, I have already expressed why I
That is the single most useful post on Linux security that I have ever seen

If you are in for security you should add to that:

TrueCrypt is nonfree software.
That's not good, I didn't know about it. Are there any free alternatives?
NoScript and Adblock serve different purposes.
Noscript blocks javascript and XSS attacks. Adblock blocks known ads from
loading in your browsing. Use both. Also, use Adblock edge, since Adblock
Plus has an anti feature (allow some ads by default).
You can complement Adblock with adblock
Keep in mind that TrueCrypt is open-source, which means in a practical sense
you get the same security as in a free software. The problem comes with the
licensing aspect of it. So, while I do not promote its usage and encourage
people to find alternatives, if one MUST use it, he is not in
ecryptfs can encrypt swap partition (see link above) but I haven't tested it
yet. Don't know what else it can do.
I think when one uses GParted you can format a drive and encrypt it with a
password. However, I don't know what encryption is used so I don't rely on
it.

No, TrueCrypt isn't open source. The OSI has not accepted any version of the
TrueCrypt license.
You can use ecryptfs (see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory). Or, if you
haven't installed trisquel yet, there should be an option in the installer
that says something like encrypt home directory. (this uses ecryptfs)
IF you haven't installed. I'd strongly suggest using the encrypted LVM
option (present in netinst, i don't know if it's the default installer?). Be
aware the encrypted-home option will prevent Hibernation (if it's a portable
system) by default [it is fixable using keys somehow]. With the
