Hello :-)
I have a problem :> I don't know if I moved this
data before somwhere else or am I using the wrong password
for my probably encrypted partition ;>
I always (last time about 2-3 months ago) did:
# cryptsetup.sh create encrypted /dev/sda2
# mount /dev/mapper/encrypted
but now after `mount /dev/mapper/encrypted /mnt/encrypted`
I get ~ "you must specify the filesystem"
(all modules are loaded)
So, as I said before, maybe I moved the data and did a format on
this partition, but I want to be sure before I do something really bad :]
My question is: is it possible, that /dev/sda2 is an encrypted
partition when :
# head -n 1 /dev/sda2
�mkdosfs ?Q
.) vE FAT32 ┬≠"�
and when `mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2` mounts cleanly but
no files/dirs are shown after `ls /mnt/sda2` ?
(I did not try to write something after mounting this way)
Looks like fat32? I did not use any special switches during
creation/encryption of this partition (-b -o etc.) I did not change
the version of cryptsetup/cryptsetup.sh (I don't use Luks) since the
partition was created.
I wrote this little script to automate password guessing
on this partition (is it ok?):
#!/bin/sh
PASSWORDS="password1
password2
password3
password4"
for password in $PASSWORDS; do
echo -e "\n\n\n*** $password"
cryptsetup.sh remove encrypted
echo "$password" | cryptsetup.sh create encrypted /dev/sda2
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# is this way of passing the password ok?
#
mount /dev/mapper/encrypted /mnt/encrypted
ls -la /mnt/encrypted
umount /dev/sda2
done
How can I get sure that there is no encrypted data on this disk?
Lets say, I have moved all this data somwhere else, and then I did
only `mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sda2` - can I undo this?
TIA for any help 8-)
