How do you hide your porn?

[yyFireyy]

I also put my porn in a folder, deep down in the system…
but I only keep it there until it's uploaded to my MEGA account (50GB free cloud storage), because I have an awful upload bandwith

External Hard Drive password protect, but I mean I hide it. The password protection just people cause I don't want people to know it's gay porn. I mean if they plug it in there going to assume it's porn because it asks for a password. But there not going to assume it's gay (hopefully). But them finding it are kinda slim. Unless my straight room mate wants to be digging throw my underwear draw. Although if he does he's about as straight as me

I've got a strong password on my laptop, and I don't leave it lying around so I've just got everything in my downloads folder, along with a lot of bullshit. You have to go through a lot of weeding to even see a gay porn title come up, if it's got a proper title (Usually not). Maybe that I can organize everything in proper folders sometime.

But really, are there any people that don't have porn on their personal computer? Even I find the weirdest shit on my parent's computer when I open up the browsing history.

My download folders just contains an average amount of porn, but they include more men than average

[tigerrawr]

I don't hide  it at all. It's on my HDD main folder just labeled as porn. I also have lots of porn in utorrent download folder which my sister even use.

Idunno, I have nothing to hide, I like big muscular men and bears, so what?

It's clearly labeled porn so don't click on it if u don't want it. If you do be my guess and wank over it if you'd like

I also have it on media fire   I lost porn before…. and it's just sad going on  a porn hunt... I'm so happy about this site  :hug: :love: :love: :love:

I put them on a partition hard drive encrypted with password. If they were able to sneak through it the folder where all my porn were is hidden but what's inside the hidden folder was a single rar file with password. If someone managed to enter the password correctly with the rar file then, ooops, BUSTED! HAHA. Nobody has ever made it to the finish line unless I guess if they're FBI. jk.

My way is that:

I created a folder, and I hided it.

I use utorrent client, and of course use the Boss-key to hide the client. (for example Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F12). So your porn are hidden, and your client is hidden too. Meanwhile you're seeding of course. In my opinon it's a good way to cloak your torrents, and it's working. I have a straight flatmate, he uses a computer like a normal user, it's ok for me

Idea: you should use another profile and run that client here, or maybe use a normal utorrent for the non-risk material and a portable version (which is hidden for boss key) for the risky material

what do you think?

[quetdi]

of course download because i want to collect the hottiest daddies!  >:D
And must i hide it too….
i am using WISE FOLDER HIDER (it hides anything even files ).

-I choose it becasue it's easy to use and small size.You can download the Portable version (without installing, just download>open>and use)
-You have to set password when you open the program to unhide (or to do anything else) ... when you HIDE somthing you dont need to write the pass just right click on a FOLDER/FILES and choose HIDE with WISE FOLDER HIDER.

• You already can set password for individual files /folders

You can search google : HOW to hide folder with a batch file (but something error occurs and you lose your files (maybe)

To all of you who say "I also put my porn in a folder, deep down in the system…" I invite you to try the following experiment:  Log onto your computer as an Admin user, and use the Windows Explorer (the file manager, not the Internet browser) and use the file search option.  Its pretty visible in all supported versions of Windows (being Vista, 7, 8.x).  Click on the main drive (usually C:) and then in the search put *.mp4 and press enter and wait.  Repeat with *.avi or *.mov or *.wmv .   I suspect it will find your files, and quite quickly.

[wolfman1360]

Mine is under c:\private. Someone goes in there it's not my problem. It's clearly labeled private for a reason. My self-made videos and pictures may or may not have a password.

[jake20]

All this talk about preserving digital legacies got me thinking: What about the bits we don't want to leave behind? Y'know, the risqué material? Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.
This seems like a complicated subject. It's not. There's some data that's private, both in terms of content as well as the very fact of its existence, and your viewing of it. Let's say you look at porn. (You do.) This fact—not just the art porn itself—belongs to you. There's no need for it to be a discoverable part of your digital life, or, god forbid, your digital legacy. Here's how to make sure your private collections are in order, and our of sight.

Level One: Obfuscation

Who hasn't created a folder called "Business" only to fill it with an entirely differently kind of business? It's a hallowed tradition, enjoyed by nearly everyone who's used a computer in the last 20 years. And as ridiculous and inept as it sounds, it probably worked—then.
There was a time when hiding a folder deep within an operating system's file structure actually hid it. Family members and spouses never had a reason to explore C:/Windows/System32, much less the "Nrop" folder you cunningly stashed there. And unless anyone went out of their way to search for incriminating content, it just wouldn't come up.
Today, things are different. Both major OSes have deeply integrated and everpresent search features—Spotlight in OS X and Start menu search in Windows 7—which bring the depths of your file system bubbling to the surface with alarming ease and frequency. They prioritize file types over file locations, so your buried videos are just about as discoverable as if they were stored your "My Videos" folder. As far as hiding your shit, and keeping your bereaved family from discovering your bizarre-but-harmless-but-still-pretty-bizarre video collection, this offers only the slightest protection.
The section age-old variation on pornfuscation is the trusty file rename. Here's how it goes: Save your files, change their names to something innocuous, and switch their file extensions to something inscrutable. LadiesEatingFriedPigsFeetInLingerie.avi becomes lefpfil.dat. And it helps to sew together a little cipher, too. Something like:

.avi=.dat
.mpeg=.dll
.mp4=.lib
.jpg=.docx
While this will probably accomplish your goals with almost no initial effort, it's pretty unwieldy in the long term, and far from failsafe.

Level 2: Encryption

The word "encryption" evokes spy films, shady government agencies and more than anything, nerds. But here's the thing: It's actually super easy. It's also nearly 100% effective, unless someone very serious is looking very seriously for something seriously incriminating on your computer, in which case I probably don't want to help you out anyway. So!

Mac OS X: Creating a password-protected archive is your best option here. It's dead simple, consolidates your files, and puts your stuff one extra layer of abstraction further away from search indices and the like. To make a passworded .DMG file (an image/archive file that you can open with a simple click) from an existing folder, just do this:

• Open Disk Utility (Spotlight search Disk Utility)
• File>New>Disk Image from Folder
• Select the folder, click Image
• Select encryption (128-bit AES will do)
• Choose a unique password

And that's it! Now you have a whateveryouwant.dmg file that can't be viewed, opened or edited by anyone but yourself. Your very own little lockable porn capsule! (Ugh.)

Windows

To create a password-protected archive in Windows Vista or 7, you'll want to download a 3rd-party archive utility, like WinZip or WinRAR. And by like WinZip or WinRAR, I mean just download PeaZip. It's free, and better than the software you're used to. Then:

• Open PeaZip
• File>Create Archive
• Select the files you want in the archive
• Click the Lock icon under the Output selector
• Select "Encrypt Also File Names"
• Select archive type "PEA" (the fact that you're using this program's proprietary format, as opposed to something like ZIP, means that it'll be even less identifiable as, well, what it is.)
And there you go.

Level 3: Liquidation

Seriously, people, stop storing incriminating material on your computer. You're already getting this stuff from the internet, so just leave it on the internet. Stream videos online, and look at pictures without downloading them. It's easy.

Firefox, Chrome, Safari and even Internet Explorer have private browsing modes, which don't accumulate history, cookies, or local caches of any kind. Use them. Your digital self will thank you.

+1 to the above level system. Works well for how badly you need to hide your porn. Remember kids, your ISP and any logging service on your router or between you and the porn know about it unless you use a VPN with the liquidation level. And they can be expensive. That and being on here and hitting sharing ratios probably means you can't liquidate always.

I also used TrueCrypt to encrypt a harddrive. I wasn't using a harddrive health monitor like Acronis. It crashed. Recovering a crashed encrypted HDD with no master file table is HARD.

[unknown69]

I used to stream porn and hide, since it is always awkward, whenever gay or straight. I don't do that anymore I download and keep it in folder where all other torrents are, but still I don't make it visible as putting shortcuts to it on desktop, because that would make me look perverted,

[harrisbren]

I don't hide my porn, just put everything on a folder. Its my pc/laptop. What you see is what you get. If you have something against it, then don't use or borrow my computer.

[N4te]

Came here to answer but I kept reading instead. hehe so many suggestions.

[Brad83401]

Use a  portable drive to load Linux, and keep it on a partition there.

When plugged into a Windows machine, nothing shows up. Reboot and Linux will see everything. I currently using Mint Linux, it's fast and it runs on most every machine.

its shocking how many of you hide your files in folders…thats not really hiding it, as you can search for video files in windows. or even run any media program and it could sniff out those files...

My way of hiding:
I have two usernames on my pc
Main user gets logged on automatically to pc with no password when windows starts:

all my hidden stuff is on drive Z:
drive Z is not visible at all to the main user (used a registry edit to hide drive Z from Main user)
Drive Z is only accessible and visible to second user who also owns all the rights to the drive.

[Apathetic]

TRUE FUCKING CRYPT, TRUECRYPT!!!

It can MOUNT a file as a drive but to be able to mount it you need a password.

The good thing: it's disguised as a file. Once I'm done with my porn I just dismount it.
Another good thing: Once unmounted it's not searcheable. It would only appear as a binary file.
The best thing: it mounts/dismounts FAST.

@JamesErvano:

Of course, you could just stream it but does anyone download and how do you hide it from other people.

Hidden folders.

[AlanC]

i use some software to lock up my entire external hard drive… unlock it every time before i inspect my legacies. ;D ;D

[groovedware]

I was coming to giggle about not having to hide porn then I remembered all the porn I have that isn't man on man is hidden away in documents.  :blind:
