[liberationtech] Espionge.app's lack of plausible deniability (Was: TrueCrypt Alternatives?)

[Steve Weis]

Hello Greg. I tried out Espionage.app and it was easy to distinguish
real encrypted images from fake images via filesystem metadata. I
don't think Espionage offers any realistic notion of plausible
deniability, especially against "totalitarian regimes" as the webpage
claims.

This took no special skills and only a few minutes to find. Someone
who knows more about disk forensics or the journaled filesystem can
likely recover much more detailed usage information. I'm also suspect
of Espionage's internal database leaking information, but did not look
at it closely.
