It is definitely reasonable to give truecrypt some permission masks. Otherwise, every file on your mounted device will be executable. So instead of the above, you can use. If you have any difficulties with permissions as a normal user, just add the -u flag to the truecrypt mount command, for example:. Do not use the -p switch, this method is more secure. Otherwise everyone can just look up the password via ps and similar tools, as it is in the process name!
The most recent truecrypt has a couple of followup questions. Of course, this is not as secure as entering your password manually. But for some use cases, such as when your TrueCrypt filesystem is in a file on shared storage, it is better than being unencrypted. You can also leave away the sleep command, it is just to give the unmounting some time to complete before the actual shutdown.
If a messagebox TrueCrypt is already running appears when starting TrueCrypt, check for a hidden file in the home directory of the concerned user called. Substitute username with the individual username. Delete the file and start TrueCrypt again. If you always get a message "Delete stale lockfile [ Should files resp. That will cause TrueCrypt to automatically use this driver for NTFS volumes, having the same effect as the explicit use of. In order to use UTF-8 globally, set the mount option:.
Since linux Rebooting should fix this error. If not listed, retry the TrueCrypt command after modprobe loop. With newer kernel versions there are no loop devices created at startup. If there are no loop devices the first time mounting a container file, TrueCrypt fails "Failed to set up a loop device" but also creates the maximum number of loop devices usually , mounting should now work.
If you are using Xorg which you most likely are, should you not know what that is , use the following command to use US keymap until restart:. In case you cannot access your VeraCrypt volume or container anymore, Install testdisk from the official repositories. See more information on CGSecurity page. Namespaces Page Discussion.
Views Read View source View history. Notes: VeraCrypt is the maintained fork. Related articles Data-at-rest encryption Tcplay Tomb. Warning: Development of TrueCrypt was discontinued on May , i. However, a manual method may be used for key recovery. TrueCrypt requires you to create a Rescue CD as part of the encryption process. The Rescue CD along with the initial password will permit access to the encrypted computer. It is recommended that this Rescue CD and the initial password be stored together in a safe place.
This CD and password will be the only method to access the data if an employee forgets the password or should a more serious situations arise such as termination or death. It is the responsibility of the department to safely store the CD and password. After the computer is encrypted, the user may change the password. This can conflict with other bootloaders. Prerequisits You will need a CD-Burner attached to the computer or a built in one.
You will need one blank CD. You will need admin rights on the account running the encryption. The procedure will take about 2 hours depending on the size of the disk. Install Truecrypt 1. Install Truecrypt to the local drive, accept defaults.
Encrypt System Drive 1. Launch Truecrypt 2. Normal unless you are paranoid 4. Encrypt Whole Drive. Yes, Encrypt Host Protected Area 6. Select the appropriate one here, I do single boot. AES is what I choose, you can choose your favorite here. Use a complicated password, I would suggest 9 characters and make it different for each user, store this password somewhere. Different passwords are suggested for each user because if you fire someone or someone leaves you dont want to have to change the password on every device.
Move your mouse for a good 20 seconds or so to get a random pool. Create Rescue Disk, this is where you need a CD burner. Burn the iso for verification I really really hate this step with Roxio I would say about disks get verified when using a separate machine.
It should be good enough to verify the iso, in fact even as I write this how-to I have gone through 4 disks before using dvddecryptor to do it instead. After verifying the CD you need to select which wipe mode you want to use, I usually do none as the machines are new when I encrypt them, if you have an existing machine, I would suggest 3 pass. Now you need to test, this will reboot your machine.
