Software - Relying on Truecrypt?

Titel: Relying on Truecrypt?

Hi guys,
what I wanna do now is checking the reliability of truecrypt algorithms, even though there are lots of theories telling us they are _almost_ safe.

I put a small encrypted image (jpg) on my server, I guess it's an image you already know. Smilie

Anyway, what I want you to do is downloading my jpg, trying to decrypt it and telling me what you can see looking at the image.

Hints:
- Image is in jpg-format and encrypted by Truecrypt
- I won't tell you which hash- and crypto-algorithm I used for encryption unless it's necessary!
- No keyfiles were used
- No hidden volumes were used
- Volumesize approx. 1 MB
- Jpg-Size decrypted approx. 90 KB
- Password length: 5 characters (containing chars, digits, symbols)

My entire datapartition is encrypted by Truecrypt, so I wanna know now if it's save or not!

Alright, download my jpg and let me see what you got. Sehr glücklich

Hm, write in english here or re-post this in the german forum. Are you usually in the Sidux forum where you have to scroll down for the german forums? Winken

Hi Crest,
sorry. Sehr glücklich

Seems like I was too tired to see the difference between "Software" and "Anwendungen", because German people usually use both words for the same thing in German. Winken

I will translate my posting right now. ...

EDIT: Translation done (see above). Sehr glücklich
