Hackers Counter Microsoft COFEE With Some DECAF 154
An anonymous reader writes "Two developers have created 'Detect and Eliminate Computer Assisted Forensics' (DECAF). The tool tries to stop Microsoft's Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor (COFEE), which helps law enforcement officials grab data from password-protected or encrypted sources. After COFEE was leaked to the Web, Microsoft issued takedown notices to sites hosting the software." The article notes that DECAF is not open source, so you aren't really going to know for sure what it will do to your computer.

I first encrypted all my temporary data, encrypted everything in cache, it was a sweet algorithm. But I figured that wasn't enough, an onion-rings didn't help either. (I tried, I failed.)
So then I decided to use my PC without keyboard, so they couldn't log my keystrokes or via processing the audio for my keystrokes discover what I was typing. From there up, everything was a success, I could later remove my monitor so noone could see what I was doing and I could just imagine keyboardinupt on my PC.
I wasn't ever so productive and most of all SECURE.
Soon enough, I felt my mousemovements could also be secured by removing my mouse. Once I mastered this way of working, they suggested I also could work without turning on my PC, as they could measure my work by reading radiation from my CPU "if they really would be wanting to read my work", just tossing out my HD wasn't sufficient. So, right now, I'm 100% secure, sitting at my desk, imagening my work.
I did read something about mindreading, but I think that's just FUD.
