Is it Possible to Run a Browser in an Encrypted Container.
 

For example, I setup a small, 4 gig, Truecrypt volume/container. Can a browser, e.g., SeaMonkey, be installed into that container, and, 1, will it run, and, 2, somehow keep all the information that would normally be in ~/.mozilla/seamonkey, within the the encrypted volume?

Thanks.

This should steer you in that general direction.

Why can't you mount that container under ~/.mozilla/seamonkey ?

Hi.

If you start Seamonkey's profile manager:

Then you can create a new profile and specify its path to be somewhere in your Truecrypt container.

--mancha

However, don't forget that if _any_ swapping goes on then the unencrypted contents of memory will be written to your swap file/partition. This can be avoided with enough RAM and the swapoff command.

Also, anything you download, or a temporary copy of it, _might_ end up in /tmp, depending on the download tool / handler in use.

Flash movies might also end up in ~/.macromedia, I think it is...

Bingo!
Thank you very much, Mancha!
:doh: On my part. :)

And, thanks to everyone else for the great suggestions! Greatly appreciated!
