1:11 how much do you bet that the usb drive Chris threw can be opened by pushing a slider on it :P ???

[penisculatus]

Chris, I strongly suggest you hold back on investing in this. There are some serious security concerns with what they're building, and they're inherent in the design. For a proper design, take a look at IronKey, a product that has been out on the market for some time.

If I understand your description correctly, the encryption can use only a few numbers because you're dealing with a physical tumbler thing. A short insecure password on a device I can take apart and plug in the PC anyway.

@penisculatus The tumbler design of the Crypteks is really just for the "cool factor". The flash drive itself uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption. The whole Davinci Code cryptex thing is mainly just for show.

This is one "helpless" video. =p

Your video went viral on Cyprus

@mastergp4life What are you talking about lol

[squarechannel]

To be cruelly and blatantly honest... your description is rather exaggerated, for starters the dials on the crypteks can be taken apart with a hammer and screwdriver im sure, u know aluminum can't really take much of a pounding; and as far as security goes well you can always use TrueCrypt. But if you're looking for that geek/attention getter factor ok crypteks is your gadget.

I love TrueCrypt. Very comfortable with the technology . Just load TrueCrypt on the machine being used and use TrueCrpt for security cant be broken into this is military encryption. I trust it completely .

Secure? Until I take it apart. lol

[mastergp4life]

@880User088 But he doesn't know that, which is sad..i still have respect for you Chris.

Crypteks is secure but not like iron key those guys are in this business for more than 10 years and lots of banks are using there technology to make them secure.
