Open Source Camouflage Alternatives
Camouflage is described as 'allows you to hide files by scrambling them and then attaching them to the file of your choice'. There are more than 25 alternatives to Camouflage for various platforms. The best alternative is TrueCrypt, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Camouflage are Seahorse (Free, Open Source), EncFS (Free, Open Source), Gnome Encfs Manager (Free, Open Source) and Steghide (Free, Open Source).
- [TrueCrypt is not exactly "Open Source", but the source is available. See the reviews to get more information.
Discontinued
Currently unmaintained. Last version, TrueCrypt 7.1a, is still available for download and development has continued via the forks VeraCrypt and CipherShed. "The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images."
