VMware is a virtual machine software suite for x86 and x86-64 computers.
"It allows you to boot another OS inside of your existing OS."
An example is you could theoretically create an entire virtual environment just for pentesting, application testing, anything you want.
Free open-source disk encryption software.
Main features:
- Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
- Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
- Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
- Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
- Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.
- Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
- Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
- Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
