lt_navvara Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 I need to keep some files on my computer hidden, really hidden. I once had a demo of this program which would partition a section of your harddrive and make it invisible unless you used that program to read the partition (you also needed a password). Does anybody know of a program that does something similar to this? Or any other way of scrambling these files so that no-one could possibly find them, or read them (a program that scrambles files internaly would also be useful) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 well you can rar/zip the files with a password. or hide them obscurely...but anyone with half a brain and a search tool can find them. not a lot else i know of...perhaps PGP encryption or something?

Ghost2520 Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Well if your trying to hide pr0n, and multiple people use your computer, just apply the hidden attribute to them and encrypt them so other users can't open them. Not that I have ever done this.... just heard of people doing this. Or better you, put the hidden files on a thumb drive. Some thumbdrives (I can't remember which brand right now) Requires a password to open, so its basically like your hidden partition idea except the partition stays in your pocket.

ClayMeow Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 you always rename your porn so it doesn't indicate such a thing, make it hidden, and place it in your windows folder. Nobody would think twice of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kash Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 It's funny, first thing I assumed that he was hiding was porn as well. Funny thing is that all of us are probably right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Guilty of that too. 604366[/snapback] lol. I meant to say "you CAN always"....i've never actually done that, as I have my own computer, so I don't have to do some super hiding method Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savan Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 just burn it to a CD, and hide the CD. thats what I do when I want to hide things *cough cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyrcks9901 Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 I have my own apartment so I don't really hide it...just throw it on an external hard drive that stays off. But what I used to do when I lived at home all the time was rename it to something random. Like adknumber4.mpg or w/e...then make it hidden and put it my steam folder. Then I made it hidden. If someone unhid the files it still had a random name so it just looked like it belonged there...like a demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 jeez, why hide pr0n?! lol. im old enough for it and dont bother hiding it at all. it gets it's own partition here on my computer. i couldnt care less who snoops - not that they get a chance to. it is MINE after all and everyone else just uses their own. otherwise, the rename is a good idea. you can also change the file extension manually and then change it back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
