Ubuntu Security :: Firefox Master Password Does Not Encrypt Data
Jan 21, 2010
I 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?

My master password is not saving any passwords in Firefox. I use this also in Windows XP, and all my passwords get saved. Furthermore, is this even a good idea to begin with? Can the passwords be stolen easily?

Folks:What can I use to encrypt all data on my USB flash drive? If possible, could I use something that has a public Key, so I do not have to type in a password to access the information when I plug the drive into my machie, but will not open or display contant if the drive is plugged into anyone else's machine, unless they have the public key?

I have been looking at how to avoid typing my firefox master password. So far no luck.
Do you know of a way to have the master password in a file on a USB stick?
I am also looking for a way to integrate keepassx with firefox. I found passifox at[URL].. It depends on keepasshttp and seems to be a windows thing.

I use Firefox 3.5.9 and Ubuntu 9.10.
There is a suspicious amount of data (more than a megabyte) being uploaded from my computer whenever I log onto a commercial web site on which I advertise rental properties.
Is there any way I can see the data being uploaded - I am pretty familiar with the Unix/Linux system and commands.

is there a way to password protect a file or folder from the terminal? i wanted to do this because I may have several friends depositing files on my ssh server that they don't want each other to see. Or i might have a file i don't want them to see.I installed cryptkeeper,but it can't take commands from the terminal. Anything else I can try?

I'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?

I'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?

I have a ext hdd..seagate go. And my 14 yr old son likes to get into it without asking me; of course i dont care when he asks but i don't really want him to get in there and erase anything. I am about to leave for training for 18 weeks with the military. Is there a way i can "secure" the drive for the amount of time that I can't take it with me?

I loaded Ubuntu desktop onto my flash drive with the USB Installer For Ubuntu from [url]
I'll be placing sensitive data on the drive & need to figure out how to encrypt it. From what i've read so far, the easiest way will be to encrypt the swap, /home, tmp, temp files. Not quite sure how to do this. I'd prefer to encrypt the whole drive, but this seems quite complicated.

I'm trying to think of the best way to encrypt a partition on my flash drive.
I plan on storing ssh/pgp keys on it for use on different computers (including school computers, where I won't have administrative access).
TrueCrypt is going to require admin access to decrypt and mount the partition, I think, so that's out.
Are there any other methods you all would recommend?

I just found a neat way to encrypt a file in Ubuntu 10.04.
I right click on a file and select the Encrypt option. The program prompts me to "Choose Recipient" so I choose myself on the list. Then it prompts me to enter my passphrase.
Once all that's done I hit enter and it adds .pgp to the end of whatever file just encrypted. The same basic method is used to Sign the file.
Does it sound as though what I said is correct and that the file I wanted to encrypt was indeed encrypted?
Can anyone crack my files without the passphrase? I'm sure it depends on the complexity and length of the passphrase.

Faced with disk-bound issues on a FTP server with high traffic. Would like to set up multiple FTP server nodes with dedicated storage for each node where all FTP access is managed by a master FTP server. So, a user would FTP to a single externally visible IP address for the master FTP server and then get routed to the appropriate FTP node. Are the mutiple FTP nodes required or is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps only one FTP server is required and then each node would serve as a separate file server

I have just installed Ubuntu Jaunty (I do not like Karmic, please don't try to make me upgrade) and after installing all my programs I realized I did not encrypt my home directory.
I know it's very simple to do this during the installation but I can't seem to find an option to do it after it.
Is there a way to do this?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. I love the passwords and keys application, but was somewhat surprised at the lack of a context menu in gnome to encrypt a file.
In general, I cannot find how to encrypt files using the keys I generate. Maybe I'm missing something? Probably, I just thought since Ubuntu comes with OOB key generation it would have OOB encryption capabilities.
I've read about seahorse and other ways to ADD encryption, I'm just wondering if ubuntu does it natively. It'd be a good idea to add to brainstorms, right click and encrypt.

So what I want to do is encrypt my entire hard drive, but heres the thing.
I dual boot Ubuntu and windows 7, but I am afraid that if I use truecrypt to do the encrypting that it will wipe GRUB and not allow me to boot into any OS, is that a possibility and is there a way around it?

How would You encrypt Passwords [emails,forums,accounts] onto USB Flash the most Secure way? (It should be command line so I can use any Linux distribution on it.) Is gpg -c <filename> secure enough ? And what FAST distro would you install on it? I'm learning on old USB flash and found SliTaz pretty damn cool,I use it as a LiveUSB. Also I've tried Kubuntu but it's bit slow. Going to try Lubuntu soon too. Any other idea?
And I'd like to install some FAST distro onto new 8GB mini USB flash drive,maybe Kubuntu as well. How would you partition its Flash drive? Probably separate partition for stored encrypted files?
