I understand that if you use Veracrypt on a USB drive, unless you know the password or passphrase, you cannot access the contents of the drive. The part that is throwing me off is, do you need to have Veracrypt installed on a computer to unlock the drive? Otherwsie, you cannot access it, correct? I ask because if I wanted to access the drive on a computer that does not have Veracrypt installed, it won’t work, right? If that all wrong, please kindly explain to me how it works.
i dont disagree, but if you don’t mention stuff like threat model to n00bs they end up thinking they need to only communicate telepathically in order to not get spied on. every attack is possible, just not for every threat model, for example a very sophisticated js attack wouldnt be used on the wild, but more likely targetted on a specific individual because once it’s known it’s fixed and you can’t use it. it’s worthy so you use it on a worthy individual.
