encryption

I have an SSD that another laptop was booting from (before the other hardware in that laptop failed) and now I'm using it as an external USB drive (with one of those little SATA enclosure shell adapter things). However, yesterday when I had it mounted, I noticed my firefox bizarrely lagging and...

Hi! I have created a public-private keypair with ssh-keygen and I have both id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. I'm trying to encrypt/decrypt files with openssl. If I cypher the file with cat plain_file | openssl rsautl -encrypt -pubin -inkey /tmp/id_rsa.pub > /tmp/encrypted.txt it works. I try to...

I'm trying to encrypt my files before I do some very important business internationally, but in the process I lost the encryption of my password store with pass and the ability to lock LibreOffice documents with GPG. I had GPG in place, but following this very good link very late at night I...

Wanna make sure i can de-crypt veracrypt files ...in the distant future, for example crypto codes etc. As a newbee i guarantee you there's often bad surprises. Things working in one distro but not another, in one pc & not another, Kernels specific things & stuff that flies over a newbee's head...

Hey guys, I have a Dual Boot Manjaro/Windows 10 install on a Laptop. I disabled Bitlocker on Windows 10 as advised. Is there a way to encrypt the whole drive with an Open Source encryption solution, and get the pin/password prompt before i get the GRUB Boot GUI to choose which OS i want to...

I recently had a massive hardware failure on my primary SSD drive. Using safecopy, I made an image of the /home partition, which was encrypted with ecryptfs. I get errors when attempting to mount the .ISO image, related to bad blocks which are present. Currently running scalpel in an attempt...

Simply: I use efs to encrypt my files in windows, i want the same in linux without luks because luks encyrpts the partition and asks for password on system login, i want the encyrption with certificate without prompt password.

Need to format an external hard drive partition. It's not a system drive/partition so no system log files will be written to it. (who uses an external hard drive to write system log files anyway?) By default when you format a partition as ext4, the system reserves 5% of the disk space. So, only...

Hi, I am new here and I hope this is the right place for this thread. I just started to play around with Kali-Linux and its WiFi tools. So I took two wireless routers, I had at home and started playing around with tools like airodump-ng, wifite, airgeddon. I use an Alfa AR9271 as wireless...

Good day all I am currently working on a project where the goal is to have a second operating system (Kali Linux) encrypted and mountable/unmountable on a Ubuntu system. All work must be kept on the encrypted partition and nothing can be installed or held on the Ubuntu operating system. There...

Hello guys. I recently installed the Ubuntu 18.04 lts, and I'm trying to mount an external Hard Drive of 500 Gb encrypted with 256-bit AES. After a lot of research and tries(...,cryptsetup), I wasn't able to do it. I know Ubuntu can detect the external Hard Drive... https://imgur.com/a/5YaaU2q...

I want to encrypt kali in such a way that it is protected, but you also do not have to enter a password when you boot the computer. I know this is possible on Windows with the TPM chip. I am wondering if there is a similar way of doing this for Kali?

I want to encrypt my file system and boot without any interaction (without having to enter a password). I know you can do this through a TPM (as shown by these tutorials: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/linux-tpm-encryption/) but I am not sure how to do this with a PTT (Intel's firmware...
