Hello,
This post is just a list of all my GPG or crypto guides in one easy to find location. I will update it periodically when I add new ones and the guides will be listed in the most useful order (which is not the order they were written in).
The first section is the actual guides, the second is for useful stuff that doesn't really fall into that category and the third is for a few threads started by other users which I consider required reading.

Thanks for that, it's fixed now.

Since these posts can also be useful elsewhere, here are the clearnet links for them. Using Tor is preferable, but a TLS/SSLv3 connection may be the best of a bad situation sometimes:

Added wicked420's pages, even though they're on an external hidden service and not on the forum.
-
This is a fantastic set of guides that has been buried in the forum, so for my 500th post, I'm bumping it.
-
Well worth reading these, I agree, astor!
-
Good compilation, I'll be sure to add your thread to my FAQ thread.
-
Is there any reason as to why these links are onion.to instead of just onion? Before Guru left, he was going to look into this but he left before doing so. There are some trust issues with onion.to sites and he was vocal about using such links very cautiously until he had looked at them first. I'm just asking the question and am not trying to alarm anyone.

So, that's why he posted the .to links equivalent to the onion sites he linked to in the initial post.

Thanks for posting these in one place Louis.

Thanks for clarifying this scout.

Wonderful, I'm adding this link to my sig if you don't mind.

Yep. Spot on.

No problem, though it was in part to make it easier for me when responding to other posts pointing to things I'd already covered.
-
do you mess with pgp2ecc at all? not sure why it isnt more widely used, know any problems with it?
-
Hey LC, can you add mine: http://32yehzkk7jflf6r2.onion/gpg4usb/
-
bumping just in case I lose this thread link
-
Great post...
Thank you very much for taking the time to put it all together.
Sometimes finding information on a certain topic / subject can be very time consuming.
This list has a heap of very helpful info sometimes overlooked, all in the one thread.
Cheers

Awesome. Thanks OP.
-
very very useful to have them concentrated in one thread. +1 OP
Any links to the best method for permanently deleting specific files, not wiping the entire hard drive?
EDIT: Seems deleting individual files is not recommended according to Astor.
Deleting individual files is unsafe because of filesystem journaling and defragging. Each file has almost certainly been written to multiple places on the disk and is potentially recoverable. The only NIST-approved method of secure file erasure, for example for destroying medical records before decommissioning a hospital computer, is offline and full disk. Boot DBAN or a Linux Live CD and do a single random write across the entire hard drive.
