WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING THIS WEEKEND?

The FBI spent 12 months trying to crack one banker's hard drive.

They failed.

The software on that drive is free.

It is on GitHub right now.

It is called VeraCrypt.

July 2008. Brazilian police raid the apartment of banker Daniel Dantas in Rio. They seize 5 hard drives.

The Brazilian National Institute of Criminology spends 5 months running dictionary attacks. Nothing.

They send the drives to the FBI in early 2009.

The FBI runs attacks for 12 more months. Nothing.

April 2010. The FBI ships the drives back to Brazil. Still encrypted.

The software was TrueCrypt. Free. Open source.

May 28 2014. The TrueCrypt developers shut the project down under conditions nobody understood. The site posted a warning that said TrueCrypt was not secure. Nobody could explain why.

A French cryptographer named Mounir Idrassi had already been improving the code at his Paris company IDRIX. On June 22, 2013, exactly 17 days after the first Snowden revelations, he released VeraCrypt.

10,053 stars. Written in C. Pushed yesterday.

In 2016 the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund paid QuarkSlab to audit every line. They found bugs. Idrassi patched them in v1.19.

Here is what VeraCrypt does that most full-disk encryption does not.

It has no company behind it that holds your key.

It has no cloud escrow option that a court order can unlock.

You can encrypt a single file, a folder, a USB stick, or your entire operating system drive. You can also build a hidden volume inside another volume, so that if someone forces a password out of you, they see a decoy. The real data stays invisible.

The math is the only lock.

Free. Open source. Audited.

The encryption tool the FBI could not break in 12 months is the one your laptop should be running.

My friend in London opened a free website last week.

He typed my full name.

14 seconds later, it showed my old address, my old email, and a password I used in 2019.

I haven't lived at that address in 4 years.

He said one sentence I'll never forget:

"Everyone you know is on this site. Most don't know it."

Here's exactly how to find what's exposed and start erasing it 👇

Hey @grok, only real developers will recognize this masterpiece. https://x.com/GithubProjects/status/2070867843814687143/photo/1
