dryptAway: 5 Copies to Give Away!

Posted by Ted Winder on 03/19/07 in Applications, Giveaways, Home & Personal, Productivity, Utilities

dryptAway Logo dryptAway is a powerful but compact OS X security utility with great drag and drop features. dryptaway will create RC4 or Blowfish encrypted files by the extension name “.drypt”. Enter a password hit, “Enter”, drop a file for encryption/decryption and you’re done! dryptAway will also create encrypted sparse (grows as space is needed.) disk images (.dmg) and burn them to disc if you need. (Hint: simply hit Command + B to burn) You can set dryptAway in .zip, .gzip or .dmg. If one of these extra modes is set, dryptAway’s encryption/decryption mode will be ignored - simple as that.

Features:

  • Create encrypted files
  • RC4 Encryption
  • BlowFish Encryption
  • Purge Safari, Firefox using 35 passes
  • Purge all Logfiles using 35 passes
  • Secure erase free disk space
  • Create encrypted archives
  • Toggle hidden System files
  • Purge files and folders using 35 passes
  • Hide/Unhide files and folders
  • Burn Disk Images
  • Run Cron Script, Repair Disk Permissions
  • Convert files and Folders to encrypted disk images
  • Checks for Software update at launch

    Hey if you like to creat a better/cooler icon you’re more than welcome! ; )

    But actually that is NOT the icon seen there!

    Regards,

    Jaan

    im interested if disk burned using dryptAway can be read using windows? pls dont hate me, i love os x and never go back, but we also have to share info with windows (and now linux xcommunity grows fast) ist very important issue. anyways if not, its not big trouble, the bigger safety for my files :))))
    p.s. i noticed that file encryption is getting bigger and bigger attention, thats great

    I’ve been looking for a good, inexpensive program to help protect my sensitive information from falling into the evil hands of those hell-bent on using it in their schemes for world domination. Looks like dryptaway may just be the only thing standing in their way. I’ve just gotta get my hands on
    a copy!

    wow, sounds like a really great program, easier than using the disk utility for making parse images. I agree though, they do need a nicer icon, more mac friendly. I still want it though! :)

    HI Tony,

    if you like you can suggest a new icon for dryptAway if needed.

    I’d really appreciate suggestions! Really! Programming and creating icons and building websites and supporting and having a real job and life, (and so on) is sometimes tough to do all that alone… ; )

    Thanks all for your help and suggestions!

    Kind Regards,

    Jaan Patterson
