Keep ya passwords and files 99% secure

Postby ltx_Lazzarus » Sun Apr 21, 2024 2:00 am

Let me give ya a fair dinkum guide on how to keep ya passwords and files as secure as a koala in a eucalyptus tree.

When the feds come knockin', the first thing they'll do is seize all ya electronic gear - phones, laptops, even the ol' desktop. They're after any evidence they can find, even if ya device is locked up tighter than a drum with a long, random passphrase. But don't worry, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Step 1: Stash ya files in plain sight
Create a new folder, maybe in the "Pictures" section of ya home directory on Windows or Linux. Download or take a bunch of .PNG pics, reckon you should have at least 2000 of 'em. Make sure they're not just plain old boring snaps, go for some with heaps of colors and patterns - the more intersecting, the better.
Preferably the pictures should be of safe-for-work, innocent nature. If your "job" involves fix cars in a car workshop, pick photos about motors, spare parts, tools, engine tuning, change of suspensions, change of brake pads, etc.
This provides some light form of "plausible deniability" as not many will suspect there is something odd involving those pictures.

Step 2: Get ya tools
Grab yourself a copy of Python and download Caesar13 from https://codeberg.org/Light-Project/caesar13. This little beauty is a stegano tool that'll let ya hide files in those .PNG pics.
Next, head over to https://codeberg.org/Light-Project/secpass and nab yourself a copy of Secpass. This password manager will create a database file that's as invisible as a roo in the bush.

Step 3: Stash ya passwords
Use Secpass to create a new password database file, call it whatever ya like. Pick a random pic from ya folder, remember the file name. Then use Caesar13 to hide the database file in the pic, and set a strong password for it.

Now ya got three passwords to remember: the pic file name, the Caesar13 key, and the Secpass master password. When ya need to access ya passwords, just use Caesar13 to extract the database, open it with Secpass, do ya thing, and then delete the file. Forensics won't have a clue it was ever there.
Mate, this is as fair dinkum as it gets. Ya freedom's on the line, so don't go putting all ya eggs in one basket. Stay safe out there.
