How would you hide some text files in plain site securely? Is pgp encryption still good?
@y0x3y
Me too, transfering private key across devices is a bit tricky, since I'm doing it completly offline, or on LAN with SSH.
@nikolal
yes, it is
mine are in a coldstore hdd, so keys aren't a big problem
i have more trouble with my password store keys because i require those on all devices, and so i gotta transfer my gpg key at least once
@y0x3y
Maybe good thing is to keep private key password in some password manager (like Bitwarden), so attacker will have two problems. One is to get your password from password manager and other is to get your private key.
@nikolal
hmmm, how would i type it in when unlocking my passwords? even after getting the private key an attacker would have to break the password, im not sure how they'd do that currently:
right now its one of <5 different passwords i have to remember since i cant use a password manager in those situations. it's also probably the strongest of the lot of them.
@nikolal PGP is strong but it doesn't "hide" the text in the sense that attacker can clearly see the file is encrypted; if you want to masquerade the encrypted file as unsuspicious data such as JPEG you can use steganography e.g. jsteg
@kravietz
This is new to me, thanks for suggestion.
@nikolal
as far as I'm aware, yes
this is what i do for my text files
