6.0a

July 8, 2008

Resolved incompatibilities / bug fixes:

*

On systems where certain inappropriately designed chipset drivers were installed, it was impossible to encrypt the system partition/drive. This will no longer occur. (Windows Vista/XP/2003)
*

Other minor bug fixes. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)

TrueCrypt 6.1 ist draussen

DOWNLOAD

Changelog:

Ability to encrypt a non-system partition without losing existing data on the partition. (Windows Vista/2008)

Note: To encrypt a non-system partition in place, click 'Create Volume' > 'Encrypt a non-system partition' > 'Standard volume' > 'Select Device' > 'Encrypt partition in place' and then follow the instructions in the wizard. Please note that this is not supported on Windows XP/2000/2003 as these versions of Windows do not natively support shrinking of a filesystem (the filesystem needs to be shrunk to make space for the volume header and backup header).
*

Support for security tokens and smart cards (for more information, see section Security Tokens and Smart Cards in chapter Keyfiles).
*

The TrueCrypt boot loader can be prevented from displaying any texts (by selecting Settings > System Encryption and enabling the option 'Do not show any texts in the pre-boot authentication screen').
*

The TrueCrypt boot loader can now display a custom message (select Settings > System Encryption and enter the message in the corresponding field) either without any other texts or along with the standard TrueCrypt boot loader texts.
*

Pre-boot authentication passwords can now be cached in the driver memory, which allows them to be used for mounting of non-system TrueCrypt volumes (select Settings > System Encryption and enable the option 'Cache pre-boot authentication password').
*

Linux and Mac OS X versions: The ability to mount a Windows system partition encrypted by TrueCrypt and to mount a partition located on a Windows system drive that is fully encrypted by a Windows version of TrueCrypt.


Improvements:

*

Protection against memory corruption caused by certain inappropriately designed versions of some BIOSes, which prevented the pre-boot authentication component from working properly.
(Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
*

During the process of creation of a hidden operating system, TrueCrypt now securely erases the entire content of the partition where the original system resides after the hidden system has been created. The user is then prompted to install a new system on the partition and encrypt it using TrueCrypt (thus the decoy system is created).

Note: Although we are not aware of any security issues (connected with decoy systems) affecting the previous versions of TrueCrypt, we have implemented this change to prevent any such undiscovered security issues (if there are any). Otherwise, in the future, a vulnerability might be discovered that could allow an attacker to find out that the TrueCrypt wizard was used in the hidden-system-creation mode (which might indicate the existence of a hidden operating system on the computer) e.g. by analyzing files, such as log files created by Windows, on the partition where the original system (of which the hidden system is a clone) resides. In addition, due to this change, it is no longer required that the paging file is disabled and hibernation prevented when creating a hidden operating system.
*

Many other improvements. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)

6.2 ist draussen:

New features:

*

The I/O pipeline now uses read-ahead buffering, which improves read performance especially on solid-state drives, typically by 30-50%. (Windows)


Improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements:

*

The boot loader now supports motherboards with BIOSes that reserve large amounts of base memory (typically for onboard RAID controllers). Note: In order to be able to take advantage of this improvement under Windows Vista, you will have to install Service Pack 1 or higher first. Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista resolved an issue causing a shortage of free base memory during system boot. (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
*

Mounting using the 'Auto-Mount Devices' feature may take significantly less time as partitions containing unencrypted filesystems are now skipped. (Windows)
*

When volumes that are mounted as read-only or removable are saved as favorite volumes, they are mounted as read-only and/or removable when 'Mount Favorite Volumes' is used.
*

When a multiple-pass wipe algorithm is selected when performing in-place encryption of a non-system volume, the header areas will be wiped before the encrypted headers are written to the disk. Note: On an existing volume, you can perform such an operation by changing its password and/or keyfiles. (Windows)
*

Many other minor improvements, bug fixes and security enhancements. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)

keine ahnung obs jemand mitbekommen hat, aber die truecrypt seite war einige zeit offline. manche meinten, sie wurde gehacked, andre sagen, das hatte andre gründe... die offizielle mitteilung der tc leute ist, dass sie den server umgezogen haben. mittlerweile steht er in den staaten...

nun tauchte diese meldung im golem forum auf: klickmich

das mag nun alles übertrieben sein, mag sein, dass ZUVIEL da rein interpretiert wird, aber vielleicht sollte man bei zukünftigen versionen vorsichtig sein. grade weil sie auch eine neue version für oktober angekündigt hatten mit "full win 7 support". NSA-affiliated IP range ist schon sehr, sehr hässlich

Solange Truecrypt weiterhin Open-Source bleibt mache ich mir da keine Sorgen Immer diese dummen Gerüchte von Leuten die keine Ahnung haben um nur ein bisschen berühmt bei Twitter & Co. zu sein...

das sind leider keine gerüchte, jeder honk kann das mit 'nem einfachen whois checken... das ist es ja, was im moment sorgen bereitet...

Achja und woher weisst du das es eine IP von der NSA ist?
Die einzige Quelle ist diese Liste:

Zufälligerweise steht meine DSL Home IP auch drauf.... OHHHH hilfe bin ich jetzt von der NSA? Oder ist mein Internet Provider bei der NSA? Vielleicht arbeitet dann auch die Merkel für die NSA? Fragen über fragen die nur ein Twitter Depp beantworten kann.
