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:
