They run of batteries and fit quite comftably in your jacket pocket. IF you go and have a look at some of the small hand held devices for photograpers that will rip the contents of a USB camera or memory card/stick onto their local hard drive you might be a little supprised. I get the feeling that there are no photographers reading this list…
However, an encrypted Zip file still reveals the names and types of files inside it, and this can often be sufficient to deduce the file headers.
Explorer can handle some encrypted zip files, but I’m not sure which types. Because Windows XP includes Zip file support built into Explorer, many sites no longer install a Zip management utility. One thing you may want to test is Windows Explorer compatibility. Of course, under the scenario you outline you will need a different password for each file, and of course the passwords themselves must be strong.
More recent versions seem to be quite strong (they use AES in a respectable way) for a while, there were file compatibility issues between the various implementations (WinZip, PowerArchiver etc.) but if you have a recent version and choose a compatible encryption mode (an unfortunate point of confusion), you should do ok. So I guess even that activity is justified…Īug12:55 else able to comment on Winzip/PKzip encryption?Įarly versions were weak and could often be cryptanalysed from ciphertext alone. One wonders if and when the TSA will try the same thing, as a data-mining and profiling technique, veiled as “protecting” us from terrorists.ĭrive imaging, searching for deleted data, is kinda like swabbing for drugs or explosive dust in an employee’s bag searching for what was there before. I hate this fact, but the catch is, our company policies (as likely many others) already permit such activity through our “personal belongings brought onto company property are subject to search” policy. USBDumper is a neat little tool though – if only it would copy, plus sync, the data into a folder name which matches the USB drive’s volume name (instead of the current day/month/year), and also log activity somewhere on the machine so that it can be reported – then we’d be set. Written for auditing USB drive usage, it not only copies the contents of drives, it syncs future changes, and emails all file sync/copy activity to a central mailbox. USBDumper is nothing new, my employer had a program like this written up a couple years ago – which has been diligently working ever since.
