Veracrypt review 201712/24/2023 The reality is, if you are running TrueCrypt, you are running with serious vulnerabilities that are known, documented, and exploitable. No code is guaranteed to be bug-free.Īnd if you are the kind of person who refuses to run the latest version of something, with all the associated security fixes applied, because nobody has proven to you that the new version bug-free, then you're just going to had a bad time. The reality is you don't want to run unpatched software.Ĭan new code introduce bugs? It absolutely will. We're in the territory of "how could older software *not** be safer?"* Because it's just not, as has been shown in the history of all software ever. The argument in favor of KFD is perfectly valid and rational - except reality contradicts the perfectly valid argument. because Chrome 63 has more features than Chrome 1Īt which point we're in Korean Fan Death territory.And out of all the forks of TrueCrypt, this one sprung up and rose to the 'top' somewhat mysteriously and quickly.with no real reasoning for why it's the 'best replacement'. I can find only a small handful of relatively unknown universities that even mention it. But on top of that, not nearly as many experts recommend it. VeraCrypt on the other hand.as far as I know, there was no full complete audit (yes there have been some audits, but not to the extent of the audits on TrueCrypt.although one can argue it's just a fork so a full audit isn't needed). True, it may no longer be updated.but that alone doesn't mean there is an issue with it. It was even used by well-regarded universities to secure their information. It was highly recommended by numerous well known security experts. It went through a lengthy audit that found no major issues. We know TrueCrypt not only worked.but to this day it's encryption and implementation are still strong. I guess you could say my concern is what do we know about VeraCrypt.
