Truecrypt 5.0 is OUT!
OK guys, TrueCrypt 5.0 is really out and it really rocks
Bashing the guys at TC was a sort of speedup for a work that, we’re sure, without our contribution would have been unpublished for at least another couple of years.
Some little difference in TC and OSXCrypt must be taken in account:
- OSXCrypt is a kernel module, and not based on MacFuse. That gives the project a really different approach.
- The OSXCrypt Framework is based on the paradigm of implementing a modular kernel module that can be used with OTHER cyphers. Implementing dm-cryppt on mac, for example, is now trivially easy.
- The GUI is coming even here, thanks to the efforts of a volunteer.
And to the TC guys: you rock and you finally did it. Thanks! Really.
We’ve been waiting for this Mac version for three years and we committed ourself to porting it only when all the other approaches (financing, lending an hand, handgun intimidation…) failed miserably.
We still think that without our contribution the MAC community would have been left without this wonderful software for long time. Maybe we’re wring, maybe we’re not.
Trolling isn’t always an answer, but sometimes it pays out. We did it for the lulz….
And if some funder want their money back, ask freely and we’ll return it.
We think we not only fulfilled our promise, but we exceeded the expectations you were putting on us.
Time to go on! Stay tuned!

They told you…
..that by the end of January TrueCrypt 5.0 would have been online…
After that they shut the Forums down…
After That they postponed the release to February 4th just as soon as we published the first alpha…
It’s February 5th and NO Truecrypt 5.0 is in the air…
Smelling funny, isn’t it?
In the meanwhile you can download OSXCrypt and be happy!
