Lets talk about encryption. I still need to encrypt my hard

>>55632763
LUKS

>>55632776
Doesnt work on Windows, does it? I figured, since I dual boot I'd like to access my data from both operating systems.

Also, in case anyone is using VeraCrypt: did they fix the bug which prevented drives from being mounted on Linux?

>hdd encryption
kek
at least use veracrypt the truecrypt alternative but YMMV
>>55632776
LVM/LUKS all the way

>>55632763
Truecryot is safe.

Whats the problem with windows and HDD encryption?
Also again, I just want access through Windows because Im dual booting.

>>55632763
VeraCrypt

>>55634540
you want to have full disk encryption on Windows and your Gnu Linux Disk? While still beeing able to access the Data from Windows side?

GOOOOOOOOD Luck

Linux can mount TC volumes and probably partitions. So it's your only option if you want to access from both OS.

>>55632763
I'm using Cryptolocker. 10/10, would recommend.

>>55634576
How the fuck should this not work?
Are you implying that an encrypted HDD can only be read from the OS it was encrypted from?
What the fuck is this bullshit?

>>55634649
>How the fuck should this not work?

No FDE software that works on both Windows and Linux.

Linux can mount encrypted NTFS drives, so I dont see a problem with this.

I've tried VeraCrypt for full disk encryption years ago but it took almost two minutes to decrypt.


Is it any faster now?

>>55634676
VeraCrypt? TrueCrypt?

Are you trying to bait me?

>>55634693
You can't encrypt the Linux distro itself with those.

>>55634687
>2 minutes
Its faster than that, though it still takes way too long.

>>55634649
Windows 8/10 might complain about missing NSA backdoors.

But I don't use that crap so I'm not sure.

>>55634705
Oh, I misunderstood what you meant. Let me clarify:
>NTFS SSD with Windows
>ext4 Linux
>3 additional NTFS drives for storage
I only need to access the storage drives from both Windows AND Linux. VeraCrypt can handle this.
I do NOT need to access the drives the operating systems are running on, which means I can encrypt them with whatever software I want. (Could be Bitlocker for Windows and LUKS for Linux, it doesnt really matter)

Still any problems I might run into? (except for VeraCrypt being buggy on Linux)

>>55634705
>You can't encrypt the Linux distro itself with those.

Yes you can.

You can set it to encrypt the entire disk.
In that case you get prompted for a password before any OS loads.

LUKS or geom_eli are the only possible options, at this time. LUKS is more user friendly, I've found.

For best results, use an air gapped computer with OpenBSD to store data.

>>55634804
I think it cant encrypt ext4 though. Or can it?

>>55634810
+ bioctl

>>55634810

This freenas.

>>55634813
I could be mistaking but I think it it creates a virtual hard drive, which you can partition and format any way you like.

>>55635083
Depends on how you do it. This virtual hard disk is not really full disk encryption and you are going to run into problems if you take our your HDD and try to decrypt it on another system, without the drive the virtual encrypted drive is located on.

>>55635117
>try to decrypt it on another system

Why would you ever do that?

It prompts for a password and decrypts itself right after POST.
From that point on it acts just like a normal (ie: unencrypted) hard drive.

Dropping my partitions and re-installing Windows was no problem for example.

>>55635838
Here is what I have to deal with at least a few times per year:
>own a few PCs
>one main PC at my apartment
>another main PC at my parents home
>have all my shit on internal storage drive of one PC
>dont want to copy hundreds of GB to external HDD for transport
>simply take out the internal HDD instead and take it with me
So if my virtual encrypted drive is on another hard drive, I'd have to take that one with me as well.
In the end, a normal full disc encryption is the better idea, imo. And that doesnt work on ext4.
