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. - -- Crypto -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTh6jZAAoJEDhzgt+U8WIyzbYP/Aqed8ScgzV9tDT6Lnju3oUL 8m5Q0La1WBd0wEpvaODC/sZ4Mie8jB4GpcFAPu+o0EoHLsaXf5RarB1/5kXFNGE7 F27RNGyWGsYmzEDHstRTqcxeMUdlx8djfj/T8oz63i+FxXgGCF6PpikBm5GY6yhk 2HSfgam943bx3ZUhYJlTxoQygQoL6eJClq9TM0vcQMCKoA7DfTPcPrkvLJyUCDl5 E3SxAln1sG0yc2cW2IJqiil2ShsaOhTyVGAza7xpAwh23OQMu2Q5QKbks8qjnQQy DXRrxeJg2crPGjaiF4t10EM5r/iMnf796VM6lQlgChnNed5Yd6691GcBXE1KLQxJ rCy6Nj4ZXbNybFRHxp1Fa9OqA3yxMmlMTFETgbjWFD2l/DwVGIEYNXvPKMC74+a8 NrDz1aPh1Zn37eSnQDJsynrJe7AQZTbfSqn0bEKUaFF7+ZKd/xxBXb7Fb8nTpGWZ hsCNeI5dmF8c0i3gA1CEZeA7eJhFVbkwyp+U2eQvBm5MzwEGB+TgVUYkgqR0t/43 EabS26lvVyhCNaiNSonLKDerJpyQmiZ6pU7SV1KsCS3AYdIqLf7kvdjFgFsdVw57 KHECf8eEGMXOWLhfiO7CwFlEhShU7JOu1QRTCR51sTVAsr3HY1HacKLFHzgzoI3y BeUws2LV108PicEV0mA2 =UP2b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
