Simple Steps to create a LUKS encrypted USB-Drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Plugin your USB- Drive<\/li>
  2. Override the USB-Drive with Zeros (DELETE ALL FILES ON USB-DRIVE !!)<\/li>
  3. Setup cryptsetup for your USB Drive<\/li>
  4. create a file-system on the USB-DRIVE<\/li>
  5. Test mount<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    be sure you using the right path of ur USB-Drive. In this CASE its \/dev\/sdd<\/em><\/strong>. So double check this on your system!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    cryptsetup luksFormat \/dev\/sdd\n\n# Keep in your MIND to type YES<\/strong> in CAPITAL letters<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    # type your personal passwort for the USB-Drive... And don't forget it !!\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Step 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    cryptsetup open \/dev\/sdd secureUSB\n# this will open the lukes Drive the path is \/dev\/mapper\/secureUSB\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    ls \/dev\/mapper\n\n# here we go.. secureUSB is listed\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Step 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    mkfs.ext4 -L topSecretUSB \/dev\/mapper\/secureUSB \n\n#this command formats the encrypted USB-Drive with the ext4 Filesystem. But u can Choose what u want. \n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Finaly we’re done with the Work. Now we can mount the Drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    #The USB-Drive is reorganized by the System as encrypted Device\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    # If you double Klick on the encrypted Drive-ICON u must enter the drives password you set on step3. \n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    You can open the USB-Drive with the command under step3 (cryptsetup open) and mount to each point you want  manual in the terminal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
