FreeOTFE Updates
FreeOTFE 2.0 is now available (updated from 1.6):
Site: http://www.freeotfe.org/
Download: http://www.freeotfe.org/downloads/FreeOTFE_2_00.zip
Have found this superior to TrueCrypt, especially in on-the-fly encryption/decryption speed. Ran both through some Sandra file system benchmarking, and FreeOTFE was *dramatically* faster than TrueCrypt.

Re: FreeOTFE V5.00
Also - there's FreeOTFE Explorer v3.00, a separate program which doesn't need drivers.
This makes FreeOTFE truely portable unlike Truecrypt as you don't need administrator rights to use it!
Please could we include a new entry for this one as well?

truecrypt and freeotfe corrections
The entry for truecrypt isn't right:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=199
states: "Stealth [?]: Yes" - but actually writes "LEGACY_TRUECRYPT" driver settings to the registry, and doens't clean them up afterwards -
Also the one for FreeOTFE:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=698
has: "Dependencies: Administrator rights" but with FreeOTFE Explorer, you don't need administrator rights (that's it's whole point!)

Re: FreeOTFE V5.00
Think I found a way around the annoying "do you want to enable portable mode" prompt -- add this to command line parameters:
You can also add "/silent" if the progress bar annoys you:
Code: Select all
/portable on /noexit
Code: Select all
/portable on /noexit /silent
Re: FreeOTFE V5.00
Pointing out the obvious, but you can disable this prompt by just turning it off in the options:
- "View | Options..."
- "Advanced" tab
- Click the "Autostart portable mode if FreeOTFE drivers not installed/running"
