- <h1>Encrypting USB with luks</h1>
- <h3>Date: 17-02-2024</h3>
- <hr>
- <h2>What you will need 📋</h2>
- <ul>
- <li>A USB drive</li>
- <li>A computer with Linux 🐧🖥</li>
- <li>The ability to read instructions and to follow them 🧠</li>
- </ul><hr>
-
- <p>1) Install cryptsetup
- <div class="code-box">
- <p>sudo pacman -S cryptsetup</p>
- </div>
-
- <hr>
-
- <p>2) Backup any information on the USB stick because this process involves formatting the USB drive.</p>
-
- <hr>
-
- <p>3) Formatting USB.</p>
- <div class="code-box">
- sudo fdisk /dev/sdX
- </div>
- <p>The X being your USB drive.</p>
- <p>Press the following keys: <br> o <br> n <br> Press enter for the rest <br>w</p>
-
- <hr>
-
- <p>4) Encryption time!
- <div class="code-box">
- sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX1
- </div>
- <p><a href="../../internet/safety/02Passwords">Make your password secure please!</a>
-
- <hr>
-
- <p>5) Decrypt USB</p>
- <div class="code-box">
- sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX1 USB
- </div>
- <p>Note: The first password is your root user password, not the encryption password. I have sadly made this mistake in the past.</p>
-
- <hr>
-
- <p>6) Format the Encrypted Partition</p>
- <div class="code-box">
- sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/USB
- </div>
- <p>Depending on the size of the USB, this may take some time. For me, it took 3 minutes.</p>
-
- <hr>
-
- <p>Step 7: Mount the Encrypted Partition</p>
- <div class="code-box">
- sudo mkdir -p /mnt/USB
- <br>
- sudo mount /dev/mapper/USB /mnt/USB
- </div>
-
- <hr>
- <h2>Finished ✅</h2>
- <p>Your password better be good dude. Make sure to memorize it!</p>
