Not really ready-to-go, but can be set up in entirety in like half an hour with VeraCrypt


Well, you would probably want some stealth that doesn't provide that makes it less obvious. Like maybe the duress passphrase decrypts everything except a docker container you use for sensitive work, replacing it with a vanilla docker image.

Edit: Ahh, read up a but. I wasn't aware "veracrypt hidden volumes" are already pretty stealthy. Would probably require some work to make it plausible though...like recent faked web browsing history.


The VeraCrypt guide recommends "You should use the decoy operating system as frequently as you use your computer. Ideally, you should use it for all activities that do not involve sensitive data." You don't need to fake it per se, but section off what needs to be in the hidden operating system (rather than a standard VeraCrypt partition). You are therefore revealing real, thus plausible, information, but not the actual subset you want to hide.


Are we going too overboard hiding our fetish video collections? My family members just leave thier dvds lying around, meanwhile Im encrypting every hd I can.
