Hi
i use almost truecrypt portable for my external hard disk
but i would like to have a portable tool , stealth ,that let me encrypt files
i downloaded Drag'n'Crypt ULTRA but my antivirus flags it like malware
is there a simple tool to encrypt files
Drag'n'Crypt (is there a portable encryption software ?)
Re: is there a portable encryption software ?
Some programs in that same vein include DropIt or FileBlender (with optional crypto plugin) and both 7-zip and IZArc2Go do pretty well with encryption via drag-and-drop.
Edit: cut my note recommending Drag'n'Crypt. 7-zip is way better.

about drag-and-crypt i guess you are talking about Drag'n'Crypt ULTRA http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1074
DCU.exe is flagged by malware , don't know why

Likely a false-positive. I'd submit it to https://www.virustotal.com/DCU.exe is flagged by malware , don't know why

For lack of a better alternative, I'm making the present topic the official one for Drag'N'Crypt ULTRA (DNCU; http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1074)...
Since DNCU's homepage (http://dcu.bplaced.net/) is entirely in German, I'm quoting Softpedia here:
Download DNCU latest release (currently v2.3.9) from http://dcu.bplaced.net/download.html.

the homepage is only in german , sadly i can't understand why the developer don't use 256-bit AES encryption
Re: Drag'n'Crypt (is there a portable encryption software ?)
Thanks for doing that.Midas wrote:For lack of a better alternative, I'm making the present topic the official one for Drag'N'Crypt ULTRA
Twofish is more than adequate security, but I would avoid Drag N' Crypt due to dramatically better options that are open, actively developed, and don't have file size limitations (as detailed in the official entry: https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1074).giulia wrote:the homepage is only in german , sadly i can't understand why the developer don't use 256-bit AES encryption

TrueCrypt is dead and has been for over 2½ years: it lives on in the "reincarnated" form/fork of VeraCrypt.
yes i use veracrypt now , even i found slower to mount a partition or a file container compared to truecrypt (yes no more update but i guess good enough to encrypt a data partition or file container)
thanks Orca

I use and frequently recommend 7zip.Orca wrote:You might as well go for something that compresses the files as well.
It has known weaknesses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt ... y_concerns, but the program still provides more than adequate security for most users. Certainly VeraCrypt shores up a lot of these issues, but I'd trust TrueCrypt over many similar options, especially on older systems where VeraCrypt may not function.Orca wrote:TrueCrypt is dead and has been for over 2½ years
