Zulucrypt allows you to open and create encrypted files and drives [1].
Why?
TrueCrypt was abandoned and forked to become Veracrypt.
The main VeraCrypt app has licensing issues and therefore isn't available directly in the Debian repos.
You *can* mount a VeraCrypt volume on linux using zuluCrypt, which is licensed openly and available in the Debian repos
How
You can access a VeraCrypt volume using zulucrypt.
This guide assumes you're using a Debian-based system (with apt).
Install
sudo apt-get install zulucrypt-gui zuluCrypt-gui
Open a File - Try 1
Open-> Volume hosted in a file -> filepath and select file.
After you select the file, such as ose-veracrypt, it will ask you for a password.
I typed in my strong password (selected the password option),and got:
Try 2
- Selected ose-veracrypt on the usb stick, whereas before I selected ose-veracrypt on desktop
- Also selected VeraCrypt instead of TrueCrypt etc, and bingo:
Restoring Keyfile
- The shared passwords file is protected with another strong password, stored in user's personal keypass, AND a key file, stored on the encrypted folder which was just unlocked.
- The unencrypted folder directory is in /run/media/private/marcin directory
- Ideally, password and keyfile open the shared keepass file. But no luck, keepass database doesn't open:
Restoring Keyfile 2
The above was done using backups, so possibly the password or keyfile was changed?
But now, how to restore keys from a private and public key that is stored on an encrypted folder -
To restore your ssh key, copy the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files onto your computer into the '.ssh/' directory on your home folder on your computer, and then run:
ssh -p [secretportnumber] [username]@[ipaddress]
Bingo!
