TrueCrypt for Mac OS X
Posted by micele - 29/01/08 at 01:01:15 am
Yeah - this is the first post about OS X. And I really didn’t know, that I would be supposed to write it *hint@nils* 
So far the volume encryption software formerly known as TrueCrypt was only available for Linux and Windows. Now it becomes available for OS X as well.
I really appreciate having this nice piece of software implemented on the Mac OS as well. But let the authors tell on their own:
Ok guys, you accused us of cheating, scamming, phishing, terrorism and even stolen candies but at the end of it we’re OUT with the First OpenSource Platform for Volume Encryption on MacOs X (aka ‘Look, mom! Truecrypt on my Macbook!’).
Having the opportunity to not trust FileVault has never been so sweet…
It’s still an alpha release and maybe it’s not a good idea to already use it for productive operation. But hey - once there is a alpha release usually a beta release follows. And so on…
Even if this is supposed to be an alpha (may we say pre-beta?), considering the several hundreds of downloads and the complete lack of problem reporting please consider this to be a safe enough to use it, as long as you keep regular backups (but you ALWAYS do it, don’t you?).
So mac folks: get it, try it, report and help improving the interoperability of TrueCrypt volumes all over the world
For the conclusion I hand over again to the OSXCrypt guys:
Happy
PornSecrets again, now with even more confidence!
