An example of a weak password would be:
Grace'sPassword123

And an example of a strong password would be:
{gÙIjWÝ0ó{Ðö÷åQü9+òÀË×?̯Áv

Now you might see why you should have a password manager, so it can remember stuff like this for you!

+

I do suggest your password to be longer than 16 charicters!

Encrypting USB with luks

+      
Date: 17-02-2024

+      

+      
What you will need 📋

+      
    
+        
  • A USB drive
    • 
+        
  • A computer with Linux  🐧🖥
    • 
+        
  • The ability to read instructions and to follow them 🧠
    • 
+      

+
+      
1) Install cryptsetup 
+      

+        
sudo pacman -S cryptsetup

+      

+
+      

+
+      
2) Backup any information on the USB stick because this process involves formatting the USB drive.

+
+      

+
+      
3) Formatting USB.

+      

+        sudo fdisk /dev/sdX
+      

+      
The X being your USB drive.

+      
Press the following keys: 
 o 
 n 
 Press enter for the rest 
w

+
+      

+
+      
4) Encryption time!
+      

+        sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX1
+      

+      
Make your password secure please!
+
+      

+
+      
5) Decrypt USB

+      

+        sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX1 USB
+      

+      
Note: The first password is your root user password, not the encryption password. I have sadly made this mistake in the past.

+
+      

+
+      
6) Format the Encrypted Partition

+      

+        sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/USB
+      

+      
Depending on the size of the USB, this may take some time. For me, it took 3 minutes.

+
+      

+
+      
Step 7: Mount the Encrypted Partition

+      

+        sudo mkdir -p /mnt/USB
+        

+        sudo mount /dev/mapper/USB /mnt/USB
+      

+
+      

+      
Finished ✅

+      
Your password better be good dude. Make sure to memorize it!

+
