A new release of the VeraCrypt project 1.24-Update7 has been published, which develops a fork of the now-defunct TrueCrypt disk encryption system. VeraCrypt is notable for replacing the RIPEMD-160 algorithm used in TrueCrypt with SHA-512 and SHA-256, increasing the number of hashing iterations, simplifying the build process for Linux and macOS, and addressing issues found during the audit of TrueCrypt's source code. At the same time, VeraCrypt provides a compatibility mode with […]

One of the steps included converting the guest network to IPv6-only. To access legacy Internet, NAT64 was used, and for DNS – DNS64 on public Google DNS. Naturally, DHCP6 was not used, only […]
To prepare for document transformation, we will need LibreOffice, uwsgi-python, pylokit, and webob. A ready-made image can also be used, but that is just for starting the uWSGI server, while we'll use nginx to connect to the uWSGI server. The simplest uWSGI application in Python consists of an application function with two arguments: environ and start_response import os # import import pylokit # necessary imports import tempfile […]
