hello everyone, I'm the developer of a little graphical application that helps with creating and using LUKS and TrueCrypt container files called luckyLUKS. It was brought to life to offer an equivalent to the Windows TrueCrypt application for some friends that are not too keen on using the command line. luckyLUKS follows a keep-it-simple philosophy that aims to keep users from shooting themselves in the foot when typing commands with administrative privileges. You can find more information and a little screencast on the homepage: https://github.com/jas-per/luckyLUKS
Since you are in touch with users that have a need for this kind of application, I'm interested in your feedback. Especially when it comes to TrueCrypt specifics like hidden containers or keyfiles: I don't use TrueCrypt containers myself, so I have not made these advanced options available from the graphical interface yet. Doing so would not be too difficult, please advice whats needed. I'm also looking for a sponsor to get the application into Debian, would be great if you could help finding a debian developer who might be interested. I'd like to maintain the package myself so hopefully there wont be too much work involved: https://mentors.debian.net/package/luckyluks Reviews welcome! If you'd like to try the application in Tails, you can just install the deb-file - all dependencies are satisfied in 1.3. Two things I noticed: TrueCrypt containers wont get mounted automatically by udisks so you have to enter a mountpoint yourself (under advanced settings) This is a shortcoming of the udisks-daemon from wheezy, the issue is solved with udisksd from udisks2. To get elevated privileges for handling the encrypted containers the application uses sudo and provides an option to create a permanent no-password sudo rule. This didn't work in Tails although similar sudo rules are already in place for other parts of Tails. Didn't investigate this further, maybe something with the overlay of user installed applications? Anyways, looking forward to your feedback! cheers, jasper
