The TrueCrypt source has always been available, though the license has gone through several revisions, usually becoming closer to a real FOSS license each time. The 3.0 license allows for forking the code, with just enough murkiness that distros like Debian wont touch it. The github link above has been available for 5 days. It was created almost right after the TrueCrypt site went down. A couple of us have already compiled TrueCrypt for Linux from this repo, and I have a pending pull request that covers what the other guy and I ran into - mostly upper/lower case issues. My fork has some fixes to get it to compile with wxgtk3.0. My version compiles and runs on Arch Linux, but with some assertion dialog warnings popping up now and then, which I still need to fix. I also need to recompile this for Visual Studio, which shouldn't be hard. I did it last year when people were trying to figure out if the Windows binary matched the source (which it does). Feel free to fork either the github link above or my own at https://github.com/waywardgeek/TrueCrypt. Unlike upstream, my code compiles :-) Another very interesting source is from the Fedora realcrypt-7.1a-2.fc20.src.rpm package. I could swear I went to realcrypt.org just two days ago and the site was live. Now it's gone: http://feejai.github.io/RealCrypt The author, who I believe is "Feejai", had 7 github repositories I thought last week, including realcrypt, and now he's down to 6, and there's no realcrypt to be seen! The Wayback machine has nothing for his old site, and it says truecrypt.org has been "excluded"! http://web.archive.org/web/http://truecrypt.org. Also, truecrypt.com and truecrypt.net are missing. This is all a bit freaky. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that crypto geeks aren't lining up to work on a TrueCrypt fork. I verified the files in the realcrypt source package. I think that package is a nice starting point that shows how to scrub TrueCrypt images and such. I'll likely use that as a template for making a releasable TrueCrypt fork soon, but I'm hoping to do that in cooperation with a few big geeks, preferably in multiple countries. Bill
