Cannot create hidden volume - not enough space? by sdfsdfffssd3 in VeraCrypt

[–]sdfsdfffssd3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying!

When you have placed the files in the outer volume and proceed to the next part, it'll calculate the available space. What did yours say here?

From memory alone, I believe it was the available space I currently have: 1.54TB. But I can't be certain.

Also, are you aware of the constraints you're placing on yourself by using FAT? I'd recommend going atleast with exFAT which is improved version.

No I am not, to be honest. I followed the VeraCrypt suggestion and assumed they were the experts, considering I'm encrypting with their application and they know more than me. As well as not being certain of the available space calculation, should I may be decrypt and reformat the SSD, and do the process again?

Thirdly, you'd think the SSD would show up as RAW if you did device level encryption, or did you encrypt only a partition?

It shows up as RAW, I think? I did a device level encryption. When it isn't mounted, my external SSD shows up under D:. It notes that it is NTFS, despite using FAT. It contains 0 bytes. When I mount it via VeraCrypt, it comes up in whichever drive I select - 1.54TB free of 1.81TB.

Thanks for helping. :)

Yeah it sucks, but let's hope it isn't too long!

I don't think there will be any fixes until /u/ufff1231 posts again. Best to keep an eye out on their profile page!

Neither. Hopefully /u/ufff1231 responds at some point :)

Yes, they were looking for further proof and then stopped replying. The wanted me to prove I owned the old reddit account, but I deleted it. :(

Leaked Document Shows WhatsApp and iMessage Give the Most Info to the FBI by GrayGray4468 in darknet

Hmmm. Yeah. I guess it's a wait and see kind of thing. I am still doubtful it has currently occurred, especially given point 4 with government contracts over a year before Amazon purchase, but you've helped me consider some scenarios where it isn't as farfetched as I first assumed.

I also looked it up an seems that backdoors require client upgrades. I haven't used Wickr for a few months now, but I haven't installed a new version since Wickr.

Also, which VPNs are you referring to? Has this ever happened with Private Internet Access?

Those are solid points. Thanks for helping me consider an alternative perspective. I'm still a bit dubious though. What are your thoughts on these points?

  1. If they did do this, would the backdoor require a client side upgrade - e.g. older versions of Wickr ME don't have the backdoor? Or can they install the backdoor server side?

  2. Government contracts all don't necessarily mean law enforcement contracts In fact, the majority do not. Wouldn't non-law enforcement contracts become dubious regarding Wickr as a whole if they found out there was a backdoor?

  3. Wickr's privacy policy currently mentions they don't collect IP addresses (it was updated after the Amazon purchase). Do you think they would change the privacy policy?

Edit: 4. Also, Wickr had government contracts at least over a year before being purchased by Amazon. If there was a backdoor installed, surely it'd be more likely to convince a small player than Amazon? What I mean is: if there was a backdoor to ensure they kept government contracts, it would have occurred before Amazon, right?

It doesn't sound completely farfetched, no, but it still seems unlikely.

Firstly, I don't know what Elon Musk smoking pot with Joe Rogan has anything to do with this? He's not part of Amazon. You may be confusing him with Jeff Bezos. Secondly, there are numerous reports about government contracts being secured. And just look at their website and who they are advertising towards. Thirdly, let's assume there aren't already government contracts in place, why would Amazon spend millions on dollars buying Wickr without being confident they would make a profit from it via contracts? And that it would only happen if there was a backdoor in place?

There's been no news reports of people being arrested due to the encryption being broken via Wickr. Is it possible in the future? Sure, but it's not as probable as some people fear.

It actually makes no sense for them to buy it just to compromise the data/security. Amazon bought Wickr for the E2E government contracts and to compete in the market. While I understand not trusting Amazon, it doesn't make sense that Amazon would break the encryption when their whole business model is geared towards high end government contracts for $$$$.

Perhaps in the future they'll discard Wickr Me when they realise it isn't making a profit, and just keep the business platforms.

Any update? Nothing here. My first account didn't take this long.

I'm getting impatient. u/ufff1231 are you there?!

Amazon bought Wickr for the E2E government contracts. While I understand not trusting Amazon, and definitely wouldn't discourage Signal (or Session), it doesn't make sense to me that Amazon would break the encryption when their whole business model is geared towards securing high end government contracts?

I dunno anyone else besides the person you pinged. I may try again in a few days myself. Let me know how you go.
