Smartest/Best/Easiest Way to Encrypt a File - GoFuckYourself.com

leg4 · 12-06-2012, 01:22 AM

Hi folks,

I have a 50 gig zip file --- mostly of business pictures/photos shoots.

I want to upload this backup file to my personal server located in Butte, Montana.

My question is...what is the best and easiest way to do encryption on it...
that would keep 90% of people from being able to break it and see my pics?

Using GFY for real business concepts,
Leg4

Thanks!

I think if you zipped it and password protected them 99.999% of people would be stumped...

just a punk · 12-06-2012, 02:22 AM

Not sure about Zip (it had some problems with encryption in past) but RAR will do it easily.

You should not make files that huge, it's just asking for trouble because Windows might accidently overwrite them (happened to me with Windows 7).
You would be better of buying a harddrive, create a new truecrypt-partition on it and put your files there.

I use 7Zip when I'm shipping content, and I use a 50+ digit encryption key using AES-256.

Would take a government something like 1,000,000 years to crack. Took me over 8 hours to encode roughly 70gb.

scouser · 12-06-2012, 02:32 AM

+1 for truecrypt. its easy to set up too.

You are probably right.

or using truecrypt

Bat_Man · 12-06-2012, 06:58 AM

Truecript is the best available option i believe ..

DamianJ · 12-06-2012, 07:20 AM

Not sure if this has been recommended already, but truecrypt is good.

zip passwords are fine. Are you trying to protect nuclear missile silo information?

seeandsee · 12-06-2012, 08:39 AM

Winrar password protection is great to! And it compress file :D

woj · 12-06-2012, 08:47 AM

truecrypt is good, but for what you are doing 7zip with pass is probably better... and like someone said earlier, split it into smaller files if possible, dealing with 50G files is a disaster waiting to happen...

fris · 12-06-2012, 08:55 AM

also could do something like this for you linux geeks

Code:

fris@fris:~$ openssl enc -e -aes256 -in fris.zip -out fris.zip.enc
enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
Verifying - enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:

JamesM · 12-06-2012, 09:41 AM

create a RAR archive and use http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/ to generate strongest password.

i have used the same techniques for storing my documents online.
