Security :: Use Protected Password In Script?
Jan 18, 2010I have a bash script that will unencrypt a file, use the unencrypted file for a very short time and then delete the unencrypted file. The problem is that my password is in clear text
[code]...
Obviously this isn't so secure, but I need the script to be non-interactive. How do I hash, encrypt or otherwise make secure the password for the openssl command? I know that the openssl can protect passwords, e.g.:
openssl passwd -crypt "password"
But can I use this protected password in my script?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Require A Password To Open Any Application?
Apr 1, 2011Is there a way to do this? I disabled the log in screen for my Ubuntu 10.10 for convenience with remote desktop (so the machine starts up right away and connect to vnc). But doing this means anybody at my house can just access my computer and application (brother's friends are a little curious) and they could easily access Keyring and grab all my passwords. So is there a way to require a password everytime an application is opened?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Accessing Password Protected Ext3 Files?
Jul 31, 2010I have a drive that originally was used with a Linksys Network Storage Link (NSLU2), then stopped working with it. Now I'm trying to get the files off the drive. When I USB connect the drive to Ubuntu, I can see the files, but I'm unable to open them or copy them. The error message is: "Error Opening File: Permission Denied". I did have permissions set on the NSLU2. So far I'm not able to find a way to get around the permissions issue in Ubuntu.
I have used apps like EASEUS Data Recovery and Recover My Files. It appears that they are finding the files and are able to access them, so I know it can be done. I don't mind spending some $, but these apps are taking a *long* time to run. If I could properly access the files in Ubuntu long enough to copy the files, I think I'd be all set.
Ubuntu Security :: Generate Password / Encryption Keys For Password
Oct 22, 2010I know this has probably been asked too many times here but I need to secure my emails. Personal matters of course. But yeah. I use the program "Password and Encryption Keys" to generate a key to sign my emails with but I do not know what to do. To be blunt, I'm stupid when it comes to this. IF not, steps in creating a key? and giving it (my public key) to the significant other? Finding where both keys are? Implementing it into Thunderbird? If it helps any here's some extra information: Ubuntu distro: Ubuntu 10.04 Email client: Thunderbird

Jun 1, 2010What is the easiest way to encrypt plain text content with a password only? I need to encrypt client login information, but I hate dealing with all the unnecessary complexities of Linux's encryption systems.
I know I am going to get a bunch of people telling me how perfect Seahorse and whatever is, but Seahorse and the default /home directly encryption have both given me too many problems when decrypting my information. I prefer to preserve my data rather than using these methods.

Apr 30, 2010It appears that Lucid has done away with the gksu prompt that used to greet you when you try to mount a partition. Is there any known way of restoring this? I have a number of partitions which I would rather have protected by a password (even though I know that booting a live cd will give anyone access to any mountable partition, no questions asked). I've had a quick look in gconf and found nothing that looks like it would control this behaviour, but it's quite likely that I overlooked something.

Fedora :: File Gets Password Protected?

I can run Access in Crossover Office if I don't get too fancy.I've sent what I've done to them for their review and comments and somehow it has become password protected.

Nov 30, 2010I created a password-protected .doc file in Windows yesterday using the latest version of OpenOffice (3.2.1)Opening the file worked perfectly; double-clicked the file, OpenOffice popped up and prompted me for the password, then it let me edit the document as usual.Tried it on another computer with Microsoft Word; worked perfectly as wellFor some reason though, it won't work in Ubuntu (10.10). I'll double-click the file, it'll open with OpenOffice and prompt me for the password, but once it opens it's in "Read Only" mode.I tried it on another Windows computer, just to see if it would work, and it did.I right-clicked the .doc file and looked at the permissions: (picture edited for privacy)Every time I tried changing it from "Read-only" to "Read and write" it automatically (and immediately) switched back to "Read-only"

May 31, 2011really need to display a full screen webpage with firefox (with flash animations, etc) with some password protection against navigating away, closing firefox, etc.I am thinking that a good solution would be to set up gnome screensaver to display the webpage as it already has the password protection stuff. Anyway, I investigated this idea for a while and is seems that it will not work...As I want to have flash animations onto that page, a solution that captures the screen and passes the picture to gnome is also not suitable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Cannot Open Password Protected Archives With Ark
Jul 31, 2011Each time I try to just open a password protected archive with Ark it just shows a "Loading file" progress bar, but nothing happens after several minutes. And if I just right-click and select "extract" extracts nothing. It doesn't even ask for the password at any moment. I also checked the help typing "man Ark" in the console, but found nothing related to passwords. Has someone successfully opened archives with password with Ark? Or is it still buggy?
And on a side note, I can open normal .rar files, but cannot compress files. It says "failed to locate program RAR in the PATH". I thought Ark was all self-contained. Do I need to install something else?
