I remember about 90% of my password used for encrypting the persistent user data file system (stored as knoppix-data.aes) while setting up Knoppix a few years ago and would now like to explore the feasibility of a dictionary brute-force at… Continue reading Any information on the encrypted Knoppix user data file system (knoppix-data.aes)?
I have a LUKS encrypted file filled with around 160GB of data that I use a lot. For safety, I created the file with 400GB. That is of course a lot of wasted space. So I switched to a sparse file, basically following the advice here, simply… Continue reading Encrypted LUKS fs inside a file: sparse or not?
I accidantally formatted the entire hard disk (quick format into NTFS)
it contains multiple partitions of different filesystem
ext4 encrypted with luks (whole partition encryption)
ext4 no encrypted
ntfs not encrtpted
I restored partitio… Continue reading Restoring lost encrypted partition [migrated]
Its a tale as old as full-disk encryption. Another victim of complicated passwords succumbs to LUKS on the Linux system.
I recently changed my LUKS encrypted drive password on a laptop, but my laptop shut down accidentally before I could c… Continue reading Recovering LUKS Encrypted Data
I use Linux on my laptop and I do Full Disk Encryption with the LUKS keys enrolled into TPM2 against proper PCRs to make sure firmware, UEFI and Secure Boot setup are in a known-good state. Additionally, my TPM setup has a 6-digit PIN with… Continue reading Is it possible to know when my TPM was last used to decrypt my disk?
From what I understand, argon provides a delay between password attempts. Does luks allow increasing or reducing the delay?

I’m using Cubic (https://github.com/PJ-Singh-001/Cubic) to create a custom Ubuntu. So far so good, everything is going smoothly.
However, I would like to encrypt the USB stick that contains my custom Ubuntu image so that I:
boot usb (load… Continue reading How to encrypt with LUKS a live Ubuntu usb stick that has been customized with Cubic? [migrated]
The luksFormat command accepts iteration time as a parameter, not iterations. That obviously leads to quite different number of iterations depending on the hardware doing the encryption. However if I am protecting the same data on system… Continue reading LUKS: How many iterations are enough?
I am trying to understand the risks of configuring passwordless decryption via TPM of a LUKS/dm-crypt system with something like:
systemd-cryptenroll –tpm2-device=auto –tpm2-pcrs=0+1+2+3+4+5+7+8 /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXX-XXX
The idea would … Continue reading Using TPM to unlock LUKS/dm-crypt volume
