![]() ![]() We are going to select “Standard Veracrypt Volume”.However to an adversary the container is all random bits so they can’t tell the contents of the container. Standard VeraCrypt Volume – As seen above a standard container can contain files and free space.To the attacker it’s just nothing but random bits. This ensures that no one can read the file contents or guess the contents of the container based on the used space. The encryption process will take the entire space and encrypt it. Once a container is created it’s size cannot be changed unless you create a new container. In the next few steps you will be choosing a static size for the Veracrypt container.This page allows you to select the type of volume.It is recommended to use LUKS on Linux systems.Please beware that Veracrypt supports full disk encryption for Windows and Linux.Encrypted Partition/Drive Container – This option allows the user to encrypt a partition/drive where an operating system may reside. ![]() We are going to select “File Container” for this guide.Encrypted File Container -A VeraCrypt volume can reside in a file, which is also called container, in a partition or drive.This menu allows you to select the type of container.Now once Veracrypt is installed we have access to mount or create Veracrypt containers.Additionally, OSXFuse is a nice bonus because now you can write to NTFS partitions :).Download OSXFuse which is required by Veracrypt.In this guide I am just running through the installation of Veracrypt, creating Veracrypt containers, and creating hidden Veracrypt cotnainers on Mac OSX El Captain. However, after several months the internet rolled on and someone decided to pickup the torch and keep running. ![]() When this happened it left the security community in a huge loss and swirl of what “not secure” meant. Back in Fall of 2015 the Truecrypt maintainer’s stated the code was “not secure”. Veracrypt provides on-the-fly encryption and is also the predecessor and a fork of the Truecrypt project. ![]()
