A bash script to automate the most basic usage of LUKS volumes in Linux. Like:
- Creating a virtual disk volume with LUKS format.
- Mounting an existing LUKS volume
- Unmounting a Single LUKS volume or all LUKS volume in the system.
There is an option for a menu:
./luks-ops.sh menu or simply ./luks-ops.shOther options include:
./luks-ops.sh new disk_Name Size_in_numbers
./luks-ops.sh mount /path/to/device (mountpoint)
./luks-ops.sh unmount-all
./luks-ops.sh clean
./luks-ops.sh usageDefault Options:
- Virtual-disk size = 512 MB and it's created on /usr/ directory
- Default filesystem used = ext4
- Cipher options:
- Creating LUKS1: aes-xts-plain64, Key: 256 bits, LUKS header hashing: sha1, RNG: /dev/urandom
- plain: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256, Key: 256 bits, Password hashing: ripemd160 (about-time :D)
- Mounting point = /media/luks_* where * is random-string.
- Others.. NB. You can change /dev/urandom to /dev/zero (speed?)
- dmsetup --- low level logical volume management
- cryptsetup --- manage plain dm-crypt and LUKS encrypted volumes
