I’ve been looking around, but I can’t seem to find an unified answer for my question.
eg.
Some say it’s safe: What’s the security risk when setting the Gnome keyring password to blank on an FED system with autologin?
Some say it’s unsafe: … Continue reading Passwordless gnome-keyring – Does it present a security issue?
How much worse is encrypting a LibreOffice document with the built-in mechanism than using a cryptocontainer (LUKS, VeraCrypt, etc.) and storing the document in it?
I am more comfortable using the built-in password mechanism that LibreOffi… Continue reading LibreOffice password vs cryptocontainer (LUKS, VeraCrypt etc.)
I use LUKS encryption on my entire drive. Do SSD drives ship with any storage areas which store unencrypted data, even though the data is saved encrypted on user-available SSD storage?
Maybe inside the over-provisioning area, the DCO (Devi… Continue reading Does an SSD store software-encrypted data in unencrypted form somewhere?
I use LUKS to encrypt all sensitive data on my computer. If I switch to using a filesystem with on-the-fly data compression such as ZFS, should I use its compression feature together with LUKS? Does compression here help the attacker as in… Continue reading Does filesystem compression aid cryptanalysis?
When I use only a passphrase in LUKS for my whole system partition encryption, so I need to insert a password to decrypt my system partition to boot up my OS, is this unsecure and can it be cracked with brute force if someone stole the lap… Continue reading Is it unsecure to use only a passphrase in luks for whole system partition encryption?
From the manual of cryptsetup:
Passphrase processing: Whenever a passphrase is added to a LUKS header
(luksAddKey, luksFormat), the user may specify how much the time the
passphrase processing should consume. The time is used to determ… Continue reading LUKS: longer passphrase iteration count
I would like to keep some secret executable binaries inside a LUKS partition.
This partition is not mounted automatically at boot, but only manually in some moments
I would like to automatically add a directory /media/user/luksdisk/bin con… Continue reading Add directory of Luks partition to system PATH
I have encrypted a disk on my Ubuntu machine using
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 sdb1
I’m wondering how difficult is it to decrypt this disk using bruteforce password guessing?
What does the success rate depend on?
Continue reading How difficult is it to decrypt a disk encrypted with luksOpen?
When one installs Debian 11 with secure-boot enabled, is computer protected against evil maid attacks trying to capture encryption keys using software keylogger?
Disk is formatted using defaults which means boot partition is not encrypted…. Continue reading Does secure boot prevent evil maid attacks when using LUKS?
I’m looking for a way to warehouse an encrypted file container on a USB FAT32 drive that can be accessed by both Windows and Linux with the password data feed via STDIN. Here’s what I found so far, but nothing seems to have all these feat… Continue reading Encrypted file container software for both Windows and Linux that accept password data from STDIN [closed]
