I was never big on encryption because I never needed it. But for some recent files it would be nice to have some encryption on it.
What would be the best encryption program to use? I was just going to use WinRAR and put a password on it but I saw a program that removes WinRAR passwords (didn't test it though).
I just want to be sure no one will get to it, no matter how skilled they are with computers, which is why I asked you guys, as you are the best.
Thanks

Computer encryption simply isn't a perfect system.
The goal of encryption is to frustrate any attackers to the point they would rather assault someone other than you.
As far as I know, if your password has enough entropy, ~100 bits as I recall, "WINRAR" will frustrate a casual assault to a point that a casual attacker will seek out other victims.
If someone wants to attack you personally, a password protected file is simply information waiting to happen.

Well if the password is strong enough wouldn't the limitation on their end be computational power? If so taking 50+ years to open the file I consider to be impossible.

Why do you need to encrypt the file?

Who doesn't like to backup their pr0n?Why do you need to encrypt the file?

Who still keeps pr0n on their hard drives? Given the widespread availability of always-on, high-speed internet, and in-private/incognito browsing, there is absolutely no reason to keep pr0n on your hard drive. The days of beautiful naked women being relegated to ASCII-art and low-quality 200x300 jpgs are over Soma. Time to join the 21st century.
Why do that when there's the Internet?

Can't tell if serious or...
That would almost be a good argument except that "always on internet" doesn't exist; there is only "usually on" and considering the extreme data caps of most places storing pr0n would probably be considered a better option.
My counter argument in the context is actually: Given the widespread availability of $150 (USD) 2 TB USB 3.0 HDD and encrypted partitions under "GNU/Linux" there is absolutely no reason to stream pr0n.

Not really. Maybe ~5% serious.
YES!Maybe ~5% serious.
*giggle*
Finally. I can cross that off my list.

let us not forget the hard drive space needed to brute force the encryption. meow.
