Exactly. So don't let anybody know & let it decrypt to something plausible. FYI there is no way of distinguishing Rubberhose from drive with random data.

- tedunangst 14y agoUnless I have misunderstood you, you distinguish it by the fact that it uses rubberhose to decrypt.
- derrida 14y agoYes, I think you are right. Badly phrased. You can nest the volumes. So give attacker A-->B-->C instead of A-->D-->E Also, there is no way of proving the existence of a hidden volume. It basically makes the Rubberhose attack unreliable as an attack vector. That doesn't mean some poor soul won't be beaten again, it just means that the folks doing the beating aren't so sure this $5 wrench is a decent attack vector.
