I just got a new computer and I want to fully encrypt my HD but I don't know of any good software. What's a good one to use that doesn't have a backdoor in it?

windows - veracrypt (windows itself has backdors so why even bother)
linux - luks (doesnt it come bundled with your distro?)

Yea. I just wanted to know what you're guys' opinion which was best and what not

For Windows: Veracrypt.

For Linux: soykaf, if you're gonna run Linux as your primary OS you should have this soykaf figured out.

If you are running an older version of Windows such as XP or 7 you could use Truecrypt.

If you're running XP you really need to not, just as a sidenote.

The guide I made on this page might help: https://www.cyberpunked.org/

Anyways, if you are going to start a thread don't start with a technical question like this because it dies out quickly. If you are new here and want some quick advice head over to our irc which is linked at the top of the page under "chat".

Are you being for real right now?
And what in the world are you gaming on your XP? How can you even run anything on that slow asf OS.

Of course I am.

Delta Force 2
GTA 3
Silent Storm Sentinals
Hammer & Sickle
Secret Service In Harms Way
Jagged Alliance 2
and more…

I even use Win98SE for older GTA games and Win3.1 French lessons.

Would care to explain a little bit more on why using Truecrypt over Veracrypt on Windows Seven? You pick my attention there.

I hear this backdoors comment all the time. Who has access to these backdoors? How come the FBI can't simply use the backdoors during high profile cases to get the information they need? Who is using these backdoors and why? Is there any case known to the public of these windows backdoors being used to help in criminal cases when the drives are fully encrypted? If they are not being used in criminal cases then I guess they would be for terrorist cases? If that is the case wouldn't we know by now about terrorists being done in from the backdoors? Wouldn't they all move to linux by now?

From what i've heard, some cases of little people being accused and asked to unencrypt their device on windows with their case.

I don't have source, so take that as you will.

No one cares about criminals or terrorists. You'll want to control people who have power, e.g. politicians. Show them you know about their CP and they'll give in.

The FBI does not show off their backdoors and hacks in criminal cases, even if it means they have to drop the case.

For Windows like a previous Alice said, use Veracrypt. Truecrypt had some backdoors.

Perhaps because those are high-profile cases.
You don't want to show your hand unless you absolutely need to.
