I encrypted my usb drive. After the encryption, I tried to format it using gparted gui but there was an error so I assume everything is ok. I backup my files to it. Then I reformat my ubuntu workstation. After the newly installed workstation boots up, I could no longer mount the flash drive. (surprise!) I'm sure I input the correct passphrase. The error is the below.
nelson@kazekage:~$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 test [sudo] password for nelson: Enter passphrase for /dev/sdb1: No key available with this passphrase. Enter passphrase for /dev/sdb1: I did a research and they something about header but looks like the header is intact. nelson@kazekage:~$ sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdb1 LUKS header information for /dev/sdb1 Version: 1 Cipher name: aes Cipher mode: cbc-essiv:sha256 Hash spec: sha1 Payload offset: 4096 MK bits: 256 MK digest: 8f 6f 4e ba c1 c2 70 3b 26 e0 41 8c 9b de d4 4b c6 29 65 e4 MK salt: 84 c1 5e 2c 70 d6 2a 0f 2e 79 7b 3f 43 16 60 44 96 d8 bf 93 a7 6e 4a eb a9 94 fd 2d 0d b7 c6 f7 MK iterations: 36750 UUID: f6289fce-a74b-40d8-b93f-e7a210afbf54 Key Slot 0: ENABLED Iterations: 147405 Salt: 43 d7 f8 b8 2f 0e 51 80 f6 9f 10 72 7e 0a bf 7d ae 25 89 9a 59 87 62 85 ed 46 73 57 da 47 74 9d Key material offset: 8 AF stripes: 4000 Key Slot 1: DISABLED Key Slot 2: DISABLED Key Slot 3: DISABLED Key Slot 4: DISABLED Key Slot 5: DISABLED Key Slot 6: DISABLED Key Slot 7: DISABLED Is there any other way I could decrypt the flash drive? I tried to add a key to Slot 1 but it doesn't permit me because of the error. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
