Just a small correction, experts can detect if there is a hidden partition/volume/disks. The original research was done on TrueCrypt but a later research also managed to detect hidden encryptied volumes in VeraCrypt. Basically, as you explained, someone can see that there is an encrypted volume due to the size discrepancy (amongst other ways), they can then (in some places) legally request that you disclose the password for it. If you then give them the password of the outer volume (aka Cover Volume) they can then use it to determine if there is a hidden volume and its approximate size. Quoting from a paper (called Detecting Hidden Encrypted Volumes - 2010): By visualising the changes that occur in the free space of a decrypted cover volume and using knowledge of file system structures is has been possible to identify the FATs, estimate the size of the hidden volume and derive the FAT version in use and the cluster size. In future it should also be possible to identify hidden volumes formatted using NTFS although the patterns of changes are different due to the use of a Master File Table rather than FATs. Another paper also look at this but on VeraCrypt (called Defeating Plausible Deniability of VeraCrypt Hidden Operating Systems - 2017) but instead of checking the changes to the hexadecimal code of the volume, they conducted randomness testing to check for artifacts in the outer volume. Quote: The reason for this is because if a hidden OS is running inside a completely encrypted hidden volume that is located within an outer volume, which is also completely encrypted, no pseudo-random anomalies should be found. When we performed entropy analysis on the outer volume, it showed that most of the examined data had values between 7.9978 and 7.9986, which represent expected values from correctly encrypted cipher text data. However, we were able to observe some unexpected values in specific sectors that were occupied by the outer volume. In particular, there were two areas which clearly showed significantly lower entropy values of 7.9966 and 7.99 While these papers are a few years old, they are evidence that there will always be ways to detect these hidden volumes, which would stop anyone from having plausible deniability. Both papers can be found online, for free. The first on in the 'IFIP Digital Library' website, and the second one in the 'University of Wollongong Research Online' website.

For Steghide to run on Windows: Extract the "steghide" folder and move it into the "C:\Program Files" folder. Then after that, search for "Edit the system environment variables", click on the "Environment Variables" button, edit the "Path" variables either or on both on the user and or system variables, then add the path "C:\Program Files\steghide" as a new entry, And, that's it! ☕😊

[@chriscjjones8182]

Interesting. Used to use copy with the b option back in the day to hide files in other files on Windows. Hide a text file in an image file, open the file by clicking and it opens in image, open it in notepad and it opens the text file

You should try some extra weirdness with the Raid disk format. Namastè.

[@randice52-53]

That jump scare scared the crap out of me

[@dany_fg]

there is another method I like to use, not hidden but obfuscated. you take a file and fill it with bytes of multiple different files with a way (a program) to read the specific bytes and open them. for example a file with multiple images in bytes separated by a new line, so if anyone tries to open it (even with notepad) it will look like a weird bytes file.

I've been making a lot of looses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

[@EvelynDouglas-z5g]

Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies

[@StephanieLisa-h6i]

I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing

[@StephanieLisa-h6i]

l'd recommend Angela Camila. her profit is great even when there's a dip

[@MartinezJames-p8o]

The first step in every successful investment is to establish your goals and risk tolerance, a task best undertaken with the assistance of financial advisor.

[@BizGuzlur]

With TrueCrypt (pre VeraCrypt) you could corrupt/destroy the hidden volume by writing to the outer volume. This was because the outer volume occupied the full size of the file so as to leave no trace of there being a hidden volume. The idea was you created the outer volume first, put a few plausible-deniability psuedo-secrets in there, then create the hidden volume and it wouldn't overwrite the files in the outer volume. You could then write to the hidden volume, but if you also wrote to the outer volume the hidden volume could get partially overwritten and corrupted. I suspect the same will be true for VeraCrypt.

[@フェムボーイかわいい]

You can hide exe’s in alternate datastreams too. Just make sure it doesnt try to grab any dependencies from its parent directory. To open a hidden exe simply do wmic process call create (path to hidden file) You can also hide files in folders doesn’t have to be a pdf or any file.

[@vedantbarhate2028]
