Markii ugu dambeysay, waxaan ku tusay sida loo dejiyo mugga sir ah kumbuyuutarkaaga^{(set up an encrypted volume on your computer)} adoo isticmaalaya VeraCrypt . Maanta, waxaanu sii socon doonaa tallaabo dheeraad ah oo ku tusinaya sida loo geli karo meel qarsoon gudaha mugga sirta ah ee caadiga ah. Maskax-qabashada, sax?

Laakiin waa maxay sababta aan u rabo qayb qarsoon^(Hidden) ?

Marka laga reebo dhinaca madadaalada ee ka mid ah (yaa aan jeclayn marinnada sirta ah?), waxa kale oo jira wax la yiraahdo "dafid macquul ah." Waxay u socotaa wax sidan oo kale ah.

Aynu nidhaahno inaad haysato waalid ama xaaskaaga shaki badan oo og inaad haysato gal sir ah. Waxay ku qanacsan yihiin inaad wax aad u xun ku haysato halkaas, waad diidi doontaa, waxayna kugu cadaadinayaan inaad furto galka si aad u caddeyso.

Galka caadiga ah, fur-furiddiisa waxay isla markiiba muujin doontaa waxa ku jira. Laakiin ka waran haddii aad leedahay qayb qarsoon oo adiga oo kaliya aad ogeyd? Markaa waxaad furi kartaa faylka si aad qofka u tusto faylal aan dhib lahayn oo caajis ah, laakiin walxaha dhabta ah ee xasaasiga ah waxay ku jiri doonaan qaybta qarsoon - qofna ma noqon doono mid caqli badan.

Samee Jidka Qarsoon ee Narnia oo kale ah^{(Make Your Own Narnia-Like Secret Passageway)}

Haddaba aan mar kale dabka saarno VeraCrypt^(VeraCrypt) oo aan eegno sida tan loo sameeyo.

Marka hore, dhagsii "Create Volume ".

Guji ikhtiyaarka ugu horreeya - " Abuur kontaynar fayl sir ah^{(Create an encrypted file-container)} " ka dibna " Xiga^(Next) ".

Markii ugu dambeysay, waxaan sameynay ikhtiyaarkii ugu horreeyay. Maanta, waxaan gujin doonaa lambarka labaad - " Mugga VeraCrypt qarsoon^{(Hidden VeraCrypt volume)} ". Sharaxaadku waxa ay ku siinaysaa waxa aan jeclahay in aan ugu yeedho " Caymiska Jirdilka/ Maafiyada baadda".^(Mafia)

Qaybta xigta waxay ku siinaysaa laba doorasho.

• Si loo abuuro mug cusub oo VeraCrypt ah oo dhamaystiran oo leh qaybteeda qarsoon.
• Si loogu daro qayb qarsoon mug hore u jiray.

Waxaan u malaynayaa in tani ay tahay markii ugu horeysay ee aad tan sameyso markaa waxaan raaci doonaa " Qaabka caadiga ah^{(Normal mode)} " si aan wax uga fududeeyo.

Talaabada ugu horeysa waa in la abuuro mugga VeraCrypt "outer"^{(” VeraCrypt)} (midka caadiga ah kaas oo hayn doona dhammaan faylasha aan waxba galabsan). Markaa dhagsii " Dooro File^{(Select File)} " oo u gudub meesha aad rabto in galkaasi aado. Plus magac u bixi.

Goobta iyo magaca waa la bedeli karaa mar dambe haddii loo baahdo.

Hadda u deji " Options Encryption^{(Encryption Options)} " ee mugga dibadda. Ilaa aad sabab gaar ah u qabtid mooyaane, ikhtiyaarada caadiga ah ayaa aad u fiican.

Hadda deji cabbirka mugga dibadda. Xusuusnow^(Remember) , cabbirka qaybtaada qarsoon waxay u baahan tahay inay gasho gudaha tan, markaa mugga sare wuxuu u baahan yahay meel loogu talagalay faylalka aan waxba galabsan IYO booska qarsoon ee leh faylalka xasaasiga ah.

Maadaama booskan aan la bedeli karin mar haddii mugga la sameeyay, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad si dhab ah uga fikirto inta boos ee aad u baahan tahay. Waxaa dhaanta in dhanka taxadarka laga qaldo oo xoogaa sare loo qaado.

Maadaama kani yahay mugga ku meel gaadhka ah ee maqaalkan, kaas oo la tirtiri doono ka dib, waxaan sameeyay 1GB.

Hadda erayga sirta ah. Iska ilow furayaasha furaha iyo ikhtiyaarka PIM . Kadib markaad geliso furaha sirta ah, dhagsii " Muuji Password^{(Display Password)} " si aad u hubiso inaad si sax ah u qortay.

Marka xigta waa in la dhaliyo furayaasha sirta ah. Jiirkaaga u dhaqdhaqaaji shaashadda si aan kala sooc lahayn oo u fiirso baarka hoose oo casaan u socda.

Marka barku cagaar yahay, guji " Format ".

Hadda waxaa laguu sheegi doonaa inaad furto mugga dibadda oo koobi geli faylashaada aan waxba galabsan ee gudaha ku jira. Qaybta qarsoon weli lama abuurin. Taas ayaa soo socota.

Markaa waxaan galay mugga sare oo waxaan ku soo koobiyay qaar ka mid ah qoraallada teknoolojiyadda PDF.

Hadda ku laabo daaqaddii hore ee VeraCrypt oo dhagsii " Xiga^(Next) " si aad u bilowdo dhisidda muggaaga qarsoon.

Sidii hore, dooro ikhtiyaarka sirta ah ee mugga qarsoon. Mar labaad^(Again) , ilaa aad runtii leedahay mooyaane, kuwan u dhaaf sida ay yihiin.

Iyada oo ku saleysan cabbirka mugga dibadda, VeraCrypt waxay xisaabisay in cabbirka ugu badan ee mugga qarsoon uusan ka badnaan karin oo keliya 882MB. Markaa go'aanso cabbirka oo geli meesha bannaan ee loogu talagalay.

Labada shaashad ee soo socda ayaa ku weydiin doona inaad dejiso furaha sirta ah oo aad abuurto furahaaga sirta ah sida aad ku samaysay mugga dibadda.

Marka la eego erayga sirta ah ee mugga qarsoon - waa inuu noqdaa mid gebi ahaanba ka duwan kan mugga dibadda. Waxaad arki doontaa sababta mar dambe laakiin haddii aad doorato isla lambarka sirta ah, mugga qarsoon ma shaqeyn doono.^{( it must be a completely different password to the one for the outer volume. You will see why later but if you choose the same password, the hidden volume will not work.)}

Marka taasi dhammaato, waxaad markaas arki doontaa tan.

Hadda ka bax saaxirka rakibaadda. Muggaga sirta ah ee albaabka qarsoon ayaa diyaar u ah in la ruxo oo la rogo.

Furitaanka^{(Opening It Up)}

Daaqada ugu weyn ee VeraCrypt:

• Dooro xarafka wadista meesha aad rabto inaad ku shubto mugga.
• Guji " Dooro File^{(Select File)} " si aad u dhex marato oo dooro muggaas.
• Guji " Mount File " si aad u soo qaadato daaqada sirta ah.

Waa maxay sababta aad ugu baahan tahay laba sirood^{(Why You Needed Two Passwords)}

OK aan nidhaahno Mafia ayaa ku haysata waxaana lagugu qasbay inaad ka tagto erayga sirta ah galkaaga VeraCrypt sir ah . Waxyaabaha dhabta ah ee dembiilaha ah waxay ku jiraan muggaaga qarsoon halka walxaha ammaanaya Don ay ku jiraan galka caadiga ah.

Maxaa sameysaa? Waxaad siisaa erayga sirta ah ee gal caadiga ah. VeraCrypt ka dib waxay arkaysaa inaad rabto faylasha caadiga ah taasina waa waxa kaliya ee qof kastaa arko.

Laakin haddii aad nabdoon tahay oo aad rabto in aad aragto walxaha dembiilaha ah ( tusaale ahaan kaarka aqoonsiga naadiga taageere ee Bonnie Tyler ), ku qor erayga sirta ah ee mugga qarsoon^{(type in the password for the hidden volume)} . VeraCrypt markaa way iska indhatiri doontaa galka caadiga ah oo kaliya waxay kor u qaadi doontaa mugga qarsoon.

Qaybta saddexaad ee taxanahan, waxaan u adeegsan doonaa VeraCrypt si aan u sirno dhammaan qalabkaaga adag. Waxaan rajeyneynaa^(Hopefully) inaan maareyn karo taas aniga oo aan helin Shaashadda Buluugga^{(Blue Screen)} ah ee Dhimashada^(Death) ee habka.

How To Add a Hidden Area Inside An Encrypted VeraCrypt Volume

Last time, I shоwed you how tо set up an encrypted volume on your computer using VeraCrypt. Today, we are going to go a step further and show you how to insert a hidden encrypted area inside an ordinary encrypted volume. Mind-bending, right?

But Why Would I Want a Hidden Section?

Apart from the fun aspect of it (who doesn’t like secret passageways?), there is also something called “plausible deniability.” It goes something like this.

Let’s say you have a very suspicious parent or spouse who knows you have an encrypted folder. They are convinced you have something truly terrible in there, you deny it, and they pressure you to open the folder to prove it.

In an ordinary folder, decrypting it will immediately reveal the contents. But what if you had a hidden section which only you knew about? Then you can open the folder to show the person some innocuous and boring files, but the really sensitive stuff would be in the hidden section – and nobody would be any the wiser.

Make Your Own Narnia-Like Secret Passageway

So let’s fire up VeraCrypt again and let’s take a look at how to do this.

First, click “Create Volume”.

Click on the first option – “Create an encrypted file-container” and then “Next”.

Last time, we did the first option. Today, we are going to click on door number two – “Hidden VeraCrypt volume”. The description gives you what I like to call the “Mafia torture/extortion insurance policy”.

The next section gives you two options.

• To create a new VeraCrypt volume complete with its own hidden section.
• To add a hidden section to an already-existing volume.

I am going to assume this is your first time doing this so I will go with “Normal mode” to make things simpler.

The first step is to create the “outer” VeraCrypt volume (the regular one which will hold all the innocent files). So click “Select File” and navigate to where you want that folder to go. Plus give it a name.

The location and name can be changed later if necessary.

Now set the “Encryption Options” for the outer volume. Unless you have any special reason why, the default options are perfectly fine.

Now set the size of the outer volume. Remember, the size of your hidden section needs to go inside of this, so the outer volume needs space for the innocent files AND the hidden space with the sensitive files.

Since this space cannot be changed once the volume has been created, you need to have a serious think about how much space you will need. Better to err on the side of caution and go a bit higher.

Since this is just a temporary volume for this article, which will get deleted afterwards, I did 1GB.

Now the password. Forget the keyfiles and PIM option. After you have entered the password, click “Display Password” to check that you have typed it in properly.

Next up is to generate the encryption keys. Move your mouse around the screen randomly and watch the bar at the bottom go from red to green.

When the bar is green, click “Format”.

You will now be told to open the outer volume and copy your innocent files inside. The hidden section hasn’t been created yet. That comes next.

So I went into the outer volume and copied some PDF’s of tech articles into it.

Now go back to the previous VeraCrypt window and click “Next” to start building your hidden volume.

As before, choose the encryption options for the hidden volume. Again, unless you really have to, leave these as they are.

Based on the size of the outer volume, VeraCrypt has calculated that the maximum size of the hidden volume can be no more than just under 882MB. So decide on the size and enter it in the space provided.

The next two screens will ask you to set a password and generate your encryption keys as you did with the outer volume.

With regards to the password for the hidden volume – it must be a completely different password to the one for the outer volume. You will see why later but if you choose the same password, the hidden volume will not work.

When that is all done, you will then see this.

Now exit the installation wizard. Your encrypted volume with hidden door is ready to rock and roll.

Opening It Up

In the main VeraCrypt window :

• Choose a drive letter where you want to mount the volume.
• Click “Select File” to navigate and choose that volume.
• Click “Mount File” to bring up the password window.

Why You Needed Two Passwords

OK let’s say the Mafia has you and you are being forced to give up the password to your encrypted VeraCrypt folder. The really incriminating stuff is in your hidden volume while the stuff that praises the Don is in the regular folder.

What do you do? You give them the password to the regular folder. VeraCrypt then sees you want the regular files and that’s all anyone sees.

But if you are safe and you want to view the incriminating stuff (your Bonnie Tyler fan club ID card for example), type in the password for the hidden volume. VeraCrypt will then disregard the normal folder and only mount the hidden volume instead.

In part three of this series, we will be using VeraCrypt to encrypt your entire hard-drive. Hopefully I can manage that without getting a Blue Screen of Death in the process.
