My previous post was made a long time ago, so here is a draft that I finally decide to post. Let’s see how to secure some of your data with an encrypted block device using losetup and dd.
Steps will be :
- Create an image with dd
- Build a new device using the image with an encrypt algorythm by using losetup
- Format the device using mkfs.ext3
- Mount the device and start using it !
Of course, when you have mounted the device, your data are readable to anyone who have access to the mounted directory.
