The standard method is to use one operating system in normal, day-to-day operations and another (in a hidden volume) whenever you're doing something sensitive or potentially illegal (you would also change the MAC address, not use it on your own wifi network, and so forth). However, it's probably too much to hope that most people actually realize this, especially criminals. Extremely paranoid people will have absolutely nothing incriminating on the computer, leave it unencrypted (to avoid suspicion), and use disposable flash drives with a small Linux image on them whenever they want to do something illegal. The flash drives are destroyed after one use.
Oh, and anyone smart enough to do that wouldn't describe their method on a public forum.
Also, your first sentence really irritates me: having the entire OS volume encrypted in no way means that you have two OS volumes, which you seem to be saying.
- gospelwut 15y agoI didn't mean to imply that, I meant to imply one "should" have two different volumes with different operating systems as to ensure no artifices from your misdeeds are on the "day to day" volume (assuming said criminal is using Windows). I'm merely going off my understanding of the ideal TC setup, as I don't bother having one setup in such a manner. I am of the opinion, as you stated, most criminals are not wise enough to go through the extra steps necessary to truly make TC hidden volumes reliable. From my experience, the extent of most peoples' tech savvy is running CCleaner or in the RAREST of cases Eraser. Though, I should say my experiences are 90% corporate.
