I bought an old seagate external hard drive at a thrift store, and I think I found an encrypted file with tons of porn in it. Some of the files in the encrypted folder have really weird names (young, etc), but I have no idea if any of it is illegal or not because I can't access it. Other than that one folder "Ip" I can access everything else on the HD, all it has is family vacation pictures. Anyone know how to get around this? is it even encrypted? it seems unlikely that only the folder with the porn titles is unable to be accessed.

If you can list the files of course it is not encrypted.
Is there something I could do to list the info on them? Anything I've tried to open with has told me I don't have permission to access it. I've also tried fucking about with permissions in windows and ubuntu. Will post a mega of it if I can access the files (assuming it's not CP)
Log in the root account of yours, and then try again.
I've tried accessing it as administrator in windows, and opening it with root nautilus in ubuntu... any other suggestions?

Hand it back, Tyrone.
probably corruption.
try Fsck.
I'm not a nigger lol just poor
ls -l fag
gotta use linux's cp command
not very convincing, is it?
change the owner, you stupid fuck.
considering the caste system, what would a lighter skinned indian think about having a darker skinned boss/manager? does that even happen?
It literally says my name on it, how do I not have permissions?
here's your reddit gold :^)
Do you have SELinux enabled? Try running restorecon -RvF . to set the proper labels.
OP pls deliver
inb4 full of normalfag shit
of course it's normalfag shit. I'm wagering
(1) that pedos usually look at exclusively pedo porn, and this is at least a mix, and
(2) actual pedos would be more paranoid and would wipe their harddrives if they ever sell them.
OP here, sorry i'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to this, could you elaborate on what this would do?
Here's some more strange textfiles, not sure what it they could be but some do seem sexually explicit.
upload that shit
try copying the text files then open them with a video player
give it back jamal
I've tried in both windows and ubuntu.
ubuntu gave me this, and windows says I have insufficient permissions
also tried moving it to my desktop via sudo cp -r and still nothing
clone the disk to an iso file then upload it
open the txt files with gedit or nano
type 'file becky.txt'
that'll tell you what kind of file it is, linux doesn't care about the extension
user, listen carefully
If that's cp you can be in legal trouble just for posessing it.
Don't copy the files to the computer.
If you become convinced it's cp contact a lawyer first.
Change the file extension of mp4, avi etc.
>hustler
>dani woodward
meh its just some normie shit
the entire disk is 200GB, where could I even upload something that big?
see pic with nano
user I can't even copy it to my computer so I don't think it's a problem
It says permission denied, even with sudo
another harddisk
sudo dosfsck -a /dev/sdX1
>the entire disk is 200GB, where could I even upload something that big?
make a torrent
gpg -d children.txt
sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/folder
Why are you even looking through other people stuff?
Just run badblocks -w on it and erase everything, if there are badblocks return the drive
also
>buying used harddrives
I did that mistake twice, never again
why... what happened user?
also I think i'd just gonna fucking destroy this drive I couldn't access anything but I don't wanna have this kind of burden..
try this
...
>why... what happened user?
Dead sectors, also I get tons used harddrives for free and many of them look fine and die after some months of use, not even joking, old hardrives are a no go even if they look fine.
>also I think i'd just gonna fucking destroy this drive I couldn't access anything but I don't wanna have this kind of burden..
there's no burden, that isn't cp, normies usually encrypt their porn because they are ashamed if someone sees the things they fap to.
that doesn't work on NTFS, NTFS doesn't use Unix permissions
also, it's easier to recover data from a physically destroyed harddrive than an overwritten one
Check the permissions from ubuntu
Use a GUI file manager (thunar, nautilus, etc.) right click on a file, check the owner, group and permissions. If you cant access it with that, then from CLI ls -l FILE.
If that fails, make an ISO of it
sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=file.iso
then see if you can access the files from the iso.
If all that fails, then there's probably a hardware encryption on the hard drive. Only way to really get around that is to either physically open the hard drive and locate the chip with the encryption and figure out how to disable it, or, if you're just wanting to use it and want to make sure no cp is on it and is gone, then use dban which writes over everything with a 0.
>correct answer gets ignored
which one is it, just curious
No where does it say it's NTFS. Besides NTFS is POSIX-compatible, just doubled checked.
Another option is to mount it with r/w permission
>POSIX-compatible
sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000 /dev/device/mnt/location
I'm pretty sure chmod and chown doesn't work with ntfs-3g at least
Anyway, OP said he bought an used harddrive it's fair to assume that it's NTFS unless the previous owner formatted it to fat32 or exfat eitherway chmod and chown doesn't work for those either
OP is acting tech illiterate for the attention, SAGE
...
noboby gives a single fuck, basically it all boils down to money
>user I can't even copy it to my computer so I don't think it's a problem
It really is a problem. The law doesn't care and they can nail you for posession. They charge teens to sexted each other pictures with distribution
Open a phonebook, and start ringing up lawyers until you get one who you can come visit *now*.
Also, don't contact law enforcement until you talk to a lawyer.
run dosfsck nigger
Take ownership of the goddamn files under the security tab
Reported u for announcing sage
Why would he need a lawyer when he can just throw it in the trash and forget about it?
Ask a nigger
Kill a nigger
Be a nigger
nigger a nigger
Nigger my nigger
Because, in at least some states, he could still be charged for posession.
>really weird names (young
maricon de mierda
>Open a phonebook, and start ringing up lawyers until you get one who you can come visit *now*.
Cringe.
Just overwrite the files.
Ain't this bullshit? Under common law system he's be fined for carelessness or something akin to that. If he acts tech illiterate, no judge can fucking jail you for that.
OP don't worry I'll be your attorney - just pay me international flight and the bills and you'll get through this nice and clean.
Also pay my bail if they find out I'm not an actual lawyer yet.
more than anything you are both retarded. Is not like big brother is watching you throw the HDD or for starters, like someone will come to inspect every HDD you own in your house
Can you dd the whole drive and then experiment with it?
Run a sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/whatever a couple of times to cover your ass. Shred this drive just to be safe
please do not listen to this schizo
he got vanned, didn't he
serves him right for living in a (((((((((((((((free))))))))))))))) country
This is probably CP just throw it out man
Chances are he decrypted shit and he's whacking it hardcore right now.
I'm going based on a lawyer's advice. He covered a case of how a certain pedophile was caught by the police, and they had a whole process of exchanging material and making sure it got to the right address.
Someone asked him "what happens if the pedo got the wrong adress and I get cp in the mail?"
All of my replies are paraphrasing his
Well OP, if you want to take that risk, be my guest
Is OP kill?
Yes he shoved the drive into his ass in an attempt to mount it and see the cp
This is why you encrypt your drive and DBAN before throwing it out.
>what happens if the pedo got the wrong adress and I get cp in the mail?
You don’t enrich any lawyer, you simply destroy the material.
OP found a certain kind of porn and is fapping to it probably.
he'd probably need permissions on it to make a torrent of it which brings us back to square one
