Title: HELP! Looking for live version of PGP/GPG for win
Post by: Bupebuddy on February 14, 2012, 06:25 pm
I am looking for a live version of PGP for windows that I can run from my flash drive just like everything else I use for SR.  I prefer it to have a GUI but don't mind command line only.  I appologize if this has been addressed in the passed.  Even if it has please help in this thread or at least link me to a previous thread.  I have used the search function with no luck.  At this point I am downloading a portable version I think may work but until I actually install I am unable to comment.

Here is the link to what I am currently downloading:

http://ppgp.sourceforge.net/

Any input is much appreciated!

Portable PGP is a piece of shit because it uses the buggy bouncy castle implementation of PGP. gpg4usb (http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de) is much better.

QTC - Thank you so much!  You are a very intelligent person and I try to read as many threads as you make regarding security.  It's no joke you know your shit and it is better to be safe than sorry.  I like to think I have been up to date on my security but I had to have my whole system drive locked down with trucrypt and I don't like having to do that.  At the moment my only access to the interwebz is through a phone tether only with windows without routing my phone.  Problem is, it's a business phone and if I fuck up the rooting I don't know how I would explain it.

My next step is to just run a VMware of Fedora or Ubuntu, haven't decided yet.  Connect through windows and tunnel connection to the VM.  But until I can get the downloads complete, I am just trying to make everything I need "Live" through windows.

Thanks for the recommendation QTC.  If you don't mind me PM'ing you I will do so with a quick question here and there.

You are welcome although I believe I have never started any threads on here. :) Feel free to PM me but I prefer to keep non-private stuff out in the open so somebody else may benefit.
