I find it ironic that each time I've proven you wrong, you've accused me of quoting out of context, now let's take a gander at the single link you've provided, particularly as the supposed warnings have to do with making sure your partition remains encrypted:"The persistent volume is not hidden. An attacker in possession of the USB stick can know that there is a persistent volume on it. Take into consideration that you can be forced or tricked to give out its passphrase."Of course I never denied the above was the case but having an encrypted drive means that the information cannot simply be taken from you. Out of context much? :-)I am sure that whatever high school you were dragged up in may well have patted you on the back in the past and congratulated you for whatever Powerpoint Presentation you managed to knock together but if you want to have a reasoned discussion about the merits of respective methods of recovering deleted data, I'd be happy to go toe to toe with you (and have done!)I never doubted that there are plenty of ways to "do everything" (whatever that means!) in the cloud - what I said was that giving out your PGP secret key and storing it online was unsafe - as you can see I have Microsoft, Cambridge University and Harvard on my side in so saying - what you have on your side is a rather piecemeal assertion that if you use a live CD and trust your personal files to others, hopefully nothing bad will happen.Perhaps once you've taken a little more time to understand these issues in a little more depth rather than simply post a link from the TAILS project page, we could have a discussion on a more equal footing.Keep going, you'll get there in the end. :-)V.Quote from: registration on May 20, 2012, 07:45 pmI actually know that paper funny though how it was written in early 2011 and the problem was fixed promptly after that.(https://tails.boum.org/security/audits/Blackhat_De-Anonymizing_Live_CDs/)As far as seeing that I have had Tor installed in the past even after uninstalling it; I never claimed that was not possible I said that what you see in your browser remains in your browser in is not retrievable from your OS.Persistence is the old way of doing things....if you don't believe me see what the guys at TAILS have to say:https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/index.en.htmlJust generate a secret key with a good strong password send that key to your SR inbox and if you need it download itand put it in TAILS :) (Note: this is just an example of using the cloud there are many better/safer ways)There are plenty of ways to have everything in the cloud and the beauty of it all is.........It's all in your mind as far as I know theyhave not found an exploit yet to the human brain or I could be wrong vlad1m1r?That way your virtual identity remains private no matter what.vlad1m1r you and I know exactly what YOU have been doing all along ..... you twist the words in the sources you post, only post bitsand pieces that have to be seen in context, and post outdated sources. You proclaim you are technical yet you fail to understand so many things.....I am dead serious here not trying to be condescending but try to study the subject a little more.I actually wanted to be proved wrong, because that would mean I had done my research wrong and could've learned something, in the end thisappears to be one big waste of time.I am done my last post here :) go back to give basic security tips to noobs when your ready to play with the big boys answer my question or admit that it's not possible and you were wrong.
