how to hide sensitive documents?

The problem with encrypted data is that depending on your laws there might be circumstances where you must give up the password otherwise you will be punished. You basically either give them the password or go to jail.

Really? Forgetting doesn't work there?
 
as a security nerd, basically everyone's replies are on the nose.
Keep the storage device disconnected from your computer when not in use, and use encryption so the data cannot be read by anyone.

Know also that no matter how much you as a non-professional try and scrub evidence off your computer, If a government body gets ahold of it, microsoft word tricks aren't going to help you. They WILL find what you are hiding.

Encryption is your friend.
and if you dont use TOR or a VPN when visiting this site- your ISP already knows you're here.

Hi everyone,

Writing about my thoughts and experiences in zoophilia and bestiality has helped me a lot to better understand and accept myself.

I have a document in my computer, that is very long and it contains sensitive details. Is there a way to securly store it ? Somewhere it would be encrypted, hidden with a sens of discretion ?

In my case if the police of someone else finds it, there might already be enough to send me to court for bestiality. Currently it is a Microsoft Word document with the text hidden using the option (I think it's Ctrl+Shift+H, but I may be wrong). To be clear, when you open it it looks empty and says 0 words if you don't reveal the text using a button or key board shortcut. There are no names, no places that are written but if someone know my identity things can easly be put together.

I would love to keep it because I like to remember what I felt, thought and did back then. I know that deleting it would be the best way to be safe, but I would like to know If there is another solution.

Thanks

I just keep all of my private stuff on a flashdrive and keep it locked in a safety deposit box. The key is on my keychain and close (if not on my person) at all times. The only way anyone is getting to it would be after I'm dead, and even then they'd have to sift through tax documents, old photos and other knick-knacks.
Not like anyone is on the lookout for my flashdrive. :p
 
I can strongly recommend VeraCrypt. It's been suggested so many times for a reason! It's not too difficult to learn how to use, and you can create a hidden partition inside VeraCrypt partitions. This allows you to take advantage of plausible deniability; without the password to the hidden partition, it cannot even be proved to exist. You can safely give up the password to the main partition, should the situation ever arise. Just remember to keep some dummy files in there! :husky_wink:
 
Yeah- best to keep something sensitive in there, too. Like ordinary porn, something work related that is marked secret or stuff like that.

This is just speculation but isn't it so that if your pictures and movies are scrambled, they can't, from a legal point of view, be considered bestiality pornography? It wouldn't even have to be some very advanced scrambling, just as long as it is unintelligible for the naked eye. Thoughts?

Forensic search do more than just look at it they will unscramble it unless you mean encryption?

Depending on how strict are the laws you will have to. VeraCrypt hidden volume was created to for this and mentions it in the description

Believe me when I say this shit. Use a Floppy disk, and store the information on their.
Its as secure as a criminal in prison....

The 1.44MB of space is not going to hide much of your full HD porn though. :D The second sentence is probably a joke I do not understand because of language barrier.
 
There are some misconceptions here, so lemme throw in my opinion as an IT guy.

How to find a reliable VPN? Simple - do not use a free one. How much likely is that a free VPN service is funded by government, to check what for people use VPNs, you think? You'd really want to pay for one, trust me on that.
Tor is safe until proven otherwise, and no sign of it has appeared so far.
Using separate usbs for your beast collection is an overkill. An encrypted container on your drive is more than enough.
And lastly, don't ever mix clearnet stuff with stuff you wanna hide. Separate browser, private mode, and VPN is a must.
Hope you ain't browsing this forum from your phones, folks.
Cheers
 
Turn your file into a password protected zip / rar or such kind of file then rename it to something resembling a system file, cfg file or such. Can even change the extension. Any nosey computer techs wont look at a system files in amongst a directory full. and even if they figure it out the zip/rar file will be password protected. Sinple.

for example

original file "private.doc".
Convert to an archive file with a password
new filename (example) "private.zip"
Rename to something (including the extension) example "winsys01.cfg"

Done

You can still open the archive without renaming and it is password protected also.

that would work, but it's just a half measure. Why not use software specifically made for this?

The best security is to have good relations with society, period, over and out. The majority of laws of the "victimless crime" variety are still dangerous to you, but they are dangerous chiefly because they can be weaponized by people that do not like you.

The best way to understand why is to think about how hard it is to get even a valid criminal law enforced. If someone breaks into your house and steals something that belongs to you, you might call the police, but when the police come, you are lucky if they are competent enough to perform a real investigation, and they can ask some seriously stupid questions. In some cases, the police can gas light you, or they might threaten to put your friends or your relatives on the list of suspects. It is really very hard to actually get satisfactory performance out of police, and if you have masturbated through too many local elections instead of actually voting and being part of the process, then I am afraid that the person that is in charge of appointing the officers is probably the mentally ill grandson of a campaign donor, just so you know.

The point is, even after the call has been made, chances of charges being pressed are actually low, and unless somebody really hates you, the call is never going to be made, probably.

Therefore, the best rule you can ever follow, for your safety, is to get along well with your neighbors, friends, and coworkers. No call, no enforcement. It is a victimless crime, so nobody anywhere is going to have any motivation to make any phony baloney reports against you.

Besides that, I suggest getting a small-sized, inexpensive computer, maybe one of the kind that you can hide away in a large pocket easily if you had to, and use that as the only device you ever view the document on.

If you really want to maintain your security, just do not view ANY zoo pornography or any zoo content, even the messages on this forum, on any machine that you would not be prepared to immediately destroy with a hammer if you thought there might be an investigation against you.

Also, there is software that you can use to erase all of the data on your main machine so that nobody can ever actually find it:

How to Wipe a Hard Drive

Easy instructions on how to wipe a hard drive. A hard drive wipe will erase everything on the hard drive, something deleting and formatting can't do.

Finally, if you want to make sure you don't lose the document, I suggest storing it on a flash drive...and of course disguising the flash drive creatively.

Mostly, though, relax. No call, no enforcement.

It's like with COVID-19. You do what your government tells you to do, nothing more, nothing less. You don't run and buy every single roll of toilet paper off of the shelf based on a rumor heard somewhere that the companies are going to stop making toilet paper. You don't hoard every single piece of meat in the meat aisle. You don't stay shut inside your house for months while refusing to let anybody in to see if you are alive. You just follow common sense advice as a precaution, but otherwise, you try to live a normal life.

After all, if you don't try to live a relatively normal life, then you get stressed, and stress weakens your immunity.

Sort of similarly, letting yourself get paranoid makes you act weird. There is no need to be paranoid. It's just the professional thing to do to never use the machine you use for your work or your taxes to look at content that can embarrass you.

I think it is common sense to avoid using an expensive machine you use for work to look at content that could embarrass you when a machine you paid very little money for can be used for the same purpose.
 
Windows telemetry spies on you constantly so I suggest you start off by looking up a program called destroy windows spying (on major geeks website).

If you are on a PC or Mac learn oracle virtual machine and use a free linux based operating system (aka distribution) mint, kali, parrot, etc.

It will take you a couple of hours to learn and set it up. Plenty of vids on youtube will walk you through the process. VM will password protect your linux distribution (OS) isolating it from your main system. Use whatever broswer you want but most distributions come with FireFox.

Use your virtual machine for sessions you want more security with.

If you are on a phone there is not much you can do. Even with a VPN, your phone company likely can track what sites you are / have visited..

Of coarse don't use google, bing, yahoo, etc as search engines..use duckduckgo.

If a computer repair technician has the slightest feeling that you have ANYTHING juicy on your computer, whether it's legal material or not, trust me, he's going for it.

As a former repair technician myself I can confirm this absolutely does happen but not always for the reason people would assume. Granted I have seen cases where people are just being nosey but more often we find ourselves in a situation where it becomes necessary to backup or recover data as part of a repair and in doing so you stumble onto content a user might not want found.

I understand. Thank-you.
 
There are some wrong things Quiet said there.
a) your phone company can't track what sites you visit if you use an open source firmware for your phone - and even if you don't that's only a theoretical possibility because they can configure some aspects of your phone or are renting the phone to you with preinstalled software. That would be something provoking a giant outcry if that was noticed and trust me, security researchers would notice.
b) a virtual machine does not protect you from someone gaining access to your computer. It only protects your computer to some extend from something you are visiting from the vm gaining access to all of your stuff outside the vm. If you have that vm on an encrypted container it's save while not open.
c) while it is a good idea to use linux, especially kali linux is a bad choice unless you wanna become a pen tester. Mint is a good choise for a user, as is ubuntu. Personally I use debian, which is the father of both of all those distributions :p. If you want a paranoid linux that hides your identity use whonix or tails.

Also MacOS by now has bigger issues than windows telemetry: it calls home about every program you run and might prevent its execution - meaning it they just have to throw a switch at their central and you can't encrypt anymore or similar stuff. And that kind of switch has already been used in another context - ebook providers remotely deleting copies of certain books, ironically that happened to 1984. The same could happen if there's a law passed against secure cryptography or simply if apple decides you have to use their own crypto software which may be secure or not instead of free and open ones. The point where you can no longer trust the OS has def been passed for MacOS - though it's not really something that's noticeable if you're only interested in it working.
 
get GnuPG client for your OS. Encrypt either a USB disk or the file itself using this. Store your private key somewhere off your PC.
If you can install and run windows terminal or are on a mac/linux, LUKS can set up an encrypted disk with a password that will unlock it and you can even have a destruct password that will scramble all the data irrevocably.

If youre SUPER paranoid, download a live linux onto USB and create an encrypted storage partition on it as above. Boot in, OS runs in memory, documents on encrypted partition, no changes to the OS persist, only that additional partition.
