View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Firefox Master Password Does Not Encrypt Data
Jan 21, 2010I just tried out setting a master password for Firefox saved passwords and compared the old and new (before and after setting the master password) signons.sqlite files. Although passwords were not stored in plain text in either of the files, I did notice that the files were exactly the same. Am I wrong in assuming that setting the master password did not encrypt anything at all, or am I simply looking at the wrong file?

May 30, 2011I'm trying to write a GUI text encryption application. I wrote the encryption system in a No GUI application like this::
[Code]...
Now I'm trying to write a GUI version, using the same algorithm. Here goes a rough image of my main window code. If you scroll down you'll observe a coloured part. As you see, the text in the first textbox gets copied into clipboard. That is the part where my encryption system should encrypt the data in the clipboard, and copy it again, and later on the new data will be pasted. How am I supposed to write that? If I have to use another signal, what is the receiver of that signal?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: MTP Devices Data Transfer Fix
Aug 1, 2010For the past few days, i have been trying to fix a common error related to mtp devices such as creative zen. Because of the new updated libmtp8 library, it is impossible to transfer files into any mtp devices. However there is a fix that will remove this issue.
1. Get the older karmic version of libmtp8 from here: URL...
2. Install this package from terminal using: sudo dpkg -i libmtp8*.deb
3. Lock libmtp8 from the synaptic package manager, so it doesn't get updated.
4. Uninstall and then downgrade any mtp packages (through packages.ubuntu.com) that become broken after step 2 to the karmic version.
5. Enjoy.
General :: Redirecting Serial Data To An External Devices Using Bluetooth?
Apr 24, 2010i have the following challenge: i have a Bluetooth GPS device that i have connected to my linux notebook. but now i also want to use the same device (or better, GPS data stream) for my Navigation device (HP Ipaq with TomTom). make an serial port bluetooth service (sending) that my Navigation device can connect to. copy the incoming bluetooth serial port data stream to the outgoing bluetooth serial port.
i have already installed GPSD so i have the TCP port where the GPS data is available for everything on my notebook. but now i also want it to send it out through bluetooth.
1. is there someone out there who already did this?
2. how to make an bluetooth serial port service on Fedora 12?
3. how to copy a data stream from 1 device to the next device?
Hardware :: Access Data On Nvraid Stripe Set Using Dmraid And Loop Devices?
Mar 29, 2010I am in one of those terrible situations...My motherboard died and I am left with a nvidia nforce raid stripe set that I need to get data off. I guess I should have setup that backup regime. Some search results have suggested that dmraid may be my white knight. I have pulled the data off each of the disks (3 of them) into image files (using ddrescue) and created loop devices (/dev/loop[1-3], using losetup).
I am running 32bit ubuntu 9.10 btw. When I do a "dmraid -ay" it tells me it found a raid set but has not activated it. When I do a "dmraid -r" it tells me I have a raid5 array on one of my /dev/sd? devices. dmraid seems to be ignoring my loop devices . Does anyone know if dmraid actually works with loop devices? If it does is there a way for me to point it directly at the devices and get it to do its auto-magic?
Hardware :: Data Storage Locations Of The Separate Devices Involved In Booting Requested
Oct 18, 2010I'm trying to get a complete overview of booting so I can multiboot. An explanation of the hardware that stores data and the hardware that runs it with the paths the data takes would be awesome!
Here are some quotes that are not comprehensive.
Quote from [url] "When the processor first starts up, it is suffering from amnesia; there is nothing at all in the memory to execute. Of course processor makers know this will happen, so they pre-program the processor to always look at the same place in the system BIOS ROM for the start of the BIOS boot program. This is normally location FFFF0h, right at the end of the system memory. They put it there so that the size of the ROM can be changed without creating compatibility problems. Since there are only 16 bytes left from there to the end of conventional memory, this location just contains a "jump" instruction telling the processor where to go to find the real BIOS startup program."
System Memory is your RAM is it not? Why are they being specific in stating the address location in the Firmware that BIOS uses? An external EEPROM on the board is totally different from RAM is it not? Does the BIOS data travel to a specific RAM Location?
Is there a small processor connected to BIOS or is everything run with the Main CPU?
What exactly is the "chipset" that is referred to with booting?
CentOS 5 Hardware :: SW RAID - Raid Devices Larger Than Total Devices
Dec 7, 2010I'm working on a server and noticed that the to RAID5 setup is showing 4 Raid devices but only 3 Total devices. It's on a fully updated CentOS 5 system that only has three SATA drives, as it can not hold anymore. I've done some researching but am unable to remove the fourth device, which is listed as removed. The full output of `mdadm -D /dev/md2` can be see below. I've never run into this situation before.Anyone have any pointers on how I can reduced the Raid Devices from 4 to 3? I have tried
mdadm /dev/md2 -r failed
mdadm /dev/md2 -r detached
but neither work and since there is no block device listed I'm not quite sure how to get things back in sync so it's only seeing the three drives.
/dev/md2:
Version : 0.90
Creation Time : Tue May 25 11:07:04 2010

OpenSUSE :: Encrypt A CD ROM Just As Would A Disk
Feb 16, 2011I was asked today if it was possible to encrypt a CDROM just as you would a disk - and I drew a blank. The question came up discussing a database we maintain with a lot of the organizations financial info plus ersonal membership data. Can I create and mount an encrypted CD? What are the performance effects? Is it a viable one to two year archive medium? The plan is to store period off-site backups and I can't get a grasp on the feasibility.

Networking :: How Does Ssh Encrypt Connections
Feb 27, 2010I'm a bit confused about how ssh encrypts connections. I've read a few articles on ssh and they talk about 'keys pairs' (that is public and private keys) on the server and client computers. However, ssh doesn't seem to use these keys for encryption. What are the keys it uses? This question occurred to me when I was trying to make a remote login to an Ubuntu machine. From a remote login perspective, I haven't generated keys on my client machine and haven't enabled key based logins in ssh. (I use the default password based login). If there aren't any keys on my client, then how does encryption work?

Ubuntu Security :: Backup And Encrypt Using GPG
Jan 20, 2010I'm currently writing a simple script which uses luckyBackup to backup my /home directory to /tmp. I then want to tar it, encrypt it with gpg and move it onto a usb stick. My question is that suppose my hard disk died and I needed to restore from this USB backup, would I still be able to decrypt the file given that I would have lost gpg keys etc when the disk died? (I would still know the passphrase though). Should I be backing up gpg files separately?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Use The Alternate So Can Encrypt The Hd?
Apr 17, 2010have been trying for many hours to install Ubuntu 9.10, on a system that already had 9.10 installed on it at one point (so I know it should work!) I am using an alternate install, from a USB thumb drive. I use the alternate so I can encrypt the hd. Everything goes smoothly until I am to select extra packages to be installed. The only package I select is the ubuntu-desktop, and around 80% progress, or so, it fails. I then try and complete the base install, and then login to the command prompt and install there:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktopIt then requests the Ubuntu disc, which of course I don't have. It has a landline internet connection. Do I need to configure something to tell it to look to the mirrors to find the desktop? Or, should it have been included in my iso image originally
Ubuntu :: Encrypt The File List Too?
May 19, 2010I use this line to line to archive and password protect my files (with zero compression):7z a -p -t7z -mx0 ~/Documents.7z ~/Documents In the attached picture, I notice there is a check box to 'Encrypt the file list too' via the GUI 7z method. How could I add this option to the above 7z line?
Also I think rar allows you to 'Encrypt the file list too'. Could someone also give me a rar line similar to 7z a -p -t7z -mx0 ~/Documents.7z ~/Documents but that has the 'Encrypt the file list too' feature added?

View 14 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Encrypt A Single File
Sep 14, 2010I need to temporarily store a file containing sensitive data in a public server, in a secure way. I think that encrypting the whole file would be much more secure than creating a passworded .zip encrypted file, because they could be subject of brute force attacks. Attacking a whole file of unknow format is harder, I think. I thought of something like the command:
Code:
$ programidontknow --encrypt mysensitive.file --output-file mumblerumble.file
then the program asks interactively for a password)
$ ls
mysensitive.file mumblerumble.file
So I get one file that may look like junk. I tried to search how to do it with GnuPG. But it seems that GnuPG needs much configuration I dont want to do. I simply want to type the password one time to get the file. It doesnt need to retain any configuration for what I want to do. In similar scenario, I would want to do this on a machine/account that is not mine.
