With exquisite timing, I bought a new external HDD yesterday (28.05.14) and set about encrypting it with TrueCrypt. I installed via the terminal as I'm on Linux, ie:
wget http://www.truecrypt.org/download/truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x64.tar.gz
I extracted it, and encrypted my drive. The TrueCrypt website was
looking it's normal self at that point: I referred to it a few times during the encryption.
However, no sooner had it finished at about 4pm UK time yesterday, I received the first email from someone on the list about Truecrypt pulling the plug. Their site had been changed to the one we see today, recommending we switch to an alternative like, ahem, something as fabulously secure as Bitlocker.
Ironic timing, huh? So, I have what was possibly the last download of a version 7.1a tarball before everything went titsup, and if you read what The Register said about Truecrypt's V.7.2 being corrupted/infected/backdoored here:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/28/truecrypt_hack/
Then theoretically I have something to wonder about. However, it would appear that the date, checksum and verification are ok on what I downloaded. It *seems* clean.
It would be interesting to see if it's in anyone's scope to compare the source code with other versions of 7.1a for Linux: it's beyond mine, apologies. If anyone wants me to send them the tarball I'll be happy to oblige.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.
Upload it on Github somewhere, and let's use this tool to compare different 7.1a versions publicly? If we trust GitHub, that is. ;)
I have some older Windows binaries that I'll upload to Mediahub and publish the URLs.
Hmm. Looking through my recent backups the only copy of Truecrypt I have at the moment is: http://www.mediafire.com/download/a88i4622qh6v7ku/TrueCrypt_Setup_7.1a.exe Anyone that wants it is welcome to it. - -- Crypto -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTh6s6AAoJEDhzgt+U8WIyoyIQAMchWBEwb+dSPx6sKLskCWDk QnYfaLYk0A2y/SruT0m1+6gwRYNA5GFxPz1dHypxlt17hFHKPSbXAnwFzIoYwZYx SipFjWiAFkPRdHur8G6rDt7v3Be6nWo88DOWovFjAqI/KWC0buiBf7bmJbvUho9v cc8vmno0qVxqU3wxSk+OjDrKtZJfNb0xgHibkmj1DP8IbQYZciNRORBtZcac2ssi V4BosymZ8tyX5VV72k4LL4wXQIaon5aQs42G3+20uqzHBUBBphqWCvQQKf2GQTrV swAFM/VtUiLo3XciOEKBOhFHJxm+FaJYDfxVoltgYegKGLstqFA+7Uh+MmwVL2Tz rbWIvN3RIyF6BGx9sPD57losHhuH6CvlbU+F1Ls7r6Jp8O98myi5IZwMdhzc04eR CHdUFaBcUptuxIK6AbcD9Isa4ilOineSCaJo5IgGlR8/ByGcnaxEY/LKsdyeL8Uf 5cx7atzv8Y4ILZVSheQv+EwroRtOGXyZKTLtIKQ7Zq+6sCsRVwKaHbbMa5zCuJUX koEbD8Hce5PFM/9j8uE5CzFwhgdrWSksgCmLbLbSbYGFSgRNb25emlvOPScvooeg ms67lNnIU5f2pbAjBNMlp5HkANEPh2cggy8bUSRt6kp2rHR72v9hfdhnOuLMXVip lZN27UvoNZ02TixIs9EG =nzKi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
