Puppy Crypt 528 is a remake of the old Puppy Crypts but turned in a new direction. Where as the old Puppy Crypt was designed more for simply encrypting files on your computer and having a few more communication and office applications, Puppy Crypt 528 is geared more towards keeping you as anonymous as possible online with as little technical knowledge needed as possible download link is here

Edit: Quick Warning I thought I should mention. I do not take responsibility for any wrongdoings done with Puppy Crypt, it is for legal uses only and was put out to demonstrate how you can quickly and securely anonymize yourself online.

looking forward to it. what kernel are you planning?

[P123]

I am glad this is being updated, as the last version had too many bugs, so I only used it once. Whereas the second last version I used regularly.

[DPUP5520]

Im planning on using a base 528 just like he did with all the older versions, removing anything I consider unsecured (sylpheed , fpm2, etc) and replacing with secure encrypted versions ( thunderbird with enigmail , better av, pidgin w/otr ,torbrowser, and so on). It will use ICEWM as the windows manager just like PupRescue. A good chunk of the programs are Java based so it is going to play a big part here and will include JCE integration for cryptographic functions. I was considering making it so that there is no choice to save at shutdown but that would create too much of a pain for people that don't know how to edit and repackage their SFS to keep their own preferences for email, chat, and irc.

Sounds good. I'm a fan of IceWM. Please consider these themes ( so I don't have to add them myself, lol ).

Got it, thanks. Btw, are you compiling IceWM yourself or are you using the lucid pet?
I am asking cause when I used the Lucid pet, I had problems with VLC in full-screen mode. The standard preferences had conflicts with it. I believe the problem has to do with the key-bindings. Attached is my preferences file, which I stole from Snowpuppy 014 and then modified. ( I am not a coder..just can hack simple scripts ).

[DPUP5520]

I tried the lucid pet before and it jacked a bunch of stuff up on my system but I found a few ways around it, I haven't actually used VLC on Puppy so i'm gonna be doing some testing on it once I get everything put together, i'll check out your preferences file once I get VLC put together and see how it works.

Hey guys sorry I haven't been keeping ya'll updated for a while but I've been pretty busy, only getting to get about 20 or 30 minutes of work done every day. I'm kind of on edge about whether to keep the Tor-browser in since I've added two anon programs which basically make tor-browser repetitive, plus I can just add the no-script and https packages to firefox. I won't be putting in VLC since it's a pretty big package and doesn't add much to the existing multimedia tools which isn't the point of this version anyway.
From what I can tell it is going to wind up being a little over 400MB since I won't be removing much except what I deem unnecessary or dangerous to security and there are some "fat" programs being added in. Overall it's going pretty well and hopefully should be done in a few weeks, if not it'll get done when I go on vacation after these next few weeks.

Puppy Crypt 528 is finally out in first post up top

[jim3630]

downloading now. puprescue is really a first rate pup and a learning tool for me. will report back once tested. thanks for what I'm sure will be another great pup.

[DPUP5520]

It does it's job, the problem is getting it set up if you don't know how to use the programs, if you have any questions feel free to ask, in the meantime i'm working on a writeup.

Edit: I decided not to prevent it from saving at shutdown, I only did that to my personal copy so you can still create save-files and whatnot, however what I do recommend is not installing anything else which isn't included already as I have it set up to provide maximum security and any extra installs or modifications can override/screw up security settings that are in place.

Thanks for this, looking forward to trying it out!
