you never know, truecrypt could be backdoored (loll), tho it's open src, it hasn't really been re properly, and the details about the devs is unknown (possible cia agents, rofl)

Truecrypt is open-source, no RE is needed to point out obvious flaws( backdoors in something implementing crypto are pretty obvious )

That's not even true. Use this, search for #925625, or mark containing Truecrypt. Has an address, and a name.

you should be fine, if you use TC, use whirlpool because we all know the NSA backddored ur sha512


always use pgp nigga

The irony should be clear here. You claim that the NSA backdoored SHA-512, which would mean PGP signing would be broken. Not to mention that, same as truecrypt, it's open source, which would make all mistakes glaring mistakes.

It's also funny because it demonstrates your lack of knowledge of how Truecrypt works. The hashing algorithm's security makes no difference in security. The hash is used to determine if your key seems correct before attempting to decrypt with it. Obviously if your key is common enough to be found in a database of hashes, you're in trouble, but past that it really doesn't matter.


EDIT:

When in doubt, shred -fuvzn 69 file.jew.

All fine and well unless you use a filesystem newer than ext2.
