similar to: encrypting existing partitions/disks

Hello, I think there was already a thread on this. I just want to raise the question again if anyone has successfully booted an gdbe-encrypted filesystem (everything encrypted except the bootloader). The passphrase is entered at the bootloader prompt or embedded in the bootloader. I appreciate any tips. Thanks, - ronnel

So I am more than happy to see people band together and improve gbde. The main work necessary is to polish the userland program and that

Hello out there, everybody! I was actually expecting to find several (hundred) threads with this subject being discussed. To my surprise I didn't find a single one either on these mailing lists or in the newsgroups - at least not in a language I understand. :-) I realize that gbde and geli are not designed to be better than the other but that both fit different needs and different tastes.

Hello, I was playing around with geli an gbde after last EuroBSDCon. I liked the idea of encrypting my data which resides in /home/$user. Since this is a "single" user laptop i intended to encrypt the whole /home partition. Well no problems with that. But i wanted the lockfile or keyfile on a seperate usb disc. Which would be mounted or used during boot of the system. I also used

Speaking of GELI / GBDE. I was reading Marc's excellent paper on Complete harddrive encryption for FreeBSD using GBDE/GELI and the problem I have is it all depends on a bootable removable token that can by physically secured. While an excellent solution for laptop / desktop users it just doesn't work with a remote colo users. No way you can physically remove your unsecure boot token or

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to recreate the functionality of PGP Disk (under Win32). Basically, create an encrypted file, which contains a filesystem which can then be mounted in any mount point. I know I can use GELI in FreeBSD 6 - as I understand, it performs the encryption at the partition level (the whole partition is encrypted). I'd like to be able to simply unmount my

Hello to all, I have implemented a new type of intrusion detection system for my Master thesis. I would like to announce this information, in case anyone would be interested in this research. The IDS system is designed as a kernel module for FreeBSD 5.2. It is inspired by the SpamAssassin program, which detects spam by applying a set of tests to every email message and counting a sum of

Hello. I recently upgraded to 9.1-RC3, everything went fine, however the / partition its about to get full. Im really new to FreeBSD so I don?t know what files can be deleted safely. # find -x / -size +10000 -exec du -h {} \; 16M /boot/kernel/kernel 60M /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols 6.7M /boot/kernel/if_ath.ko.symbols 6.4M /boot/kernel/vxge.ko.symbols 9.4M

Actually, I have tested this here with an Aastra 9133i and an Asterisk@Home server, and the 9133i will re-subscribe on its own after an Asterisk reboot, if you wait long enough. It took on the order of an hour to do so. Of course, a phone reboot will get it done faster, if necessary, but it _will_ eventually re-subscribe on its own. In another thread, I've seen a response that the GXP2000

Dear all, I tried to port Transparent Cryptographic File System (http://www.tcfs.it) OpenBSD version to FreeBSD 4.8, but failed. Has any one tried this before? How much modification is needed? Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Yan

As a napp-it user who recently needs to upgrade from NexentaCore I recently saw "preferred for OpenIndiana live but running under Illumian, NexentaCore and Solaris 11 (Express)" as a system recommendation for napp-it. I wonder about the future of OpenIndiana and Illumian, which fork is likely to see the most continued development, in your opinion? Thanks.

Hello, i want to encrypt my HDD's with GELI (not the root-fs, though). I want to do the encryption without password, just with a key. The key should be stored in a floppy disk, and the read should be read automatically on boot, from the floppy. There is a problem here, because GELI initializes _before_ mounting the disks from /etc/fstab (for obvious reasons, of course). So GELI is not able

Hi all, your thoughts appreciated: I''d like to encrypt one of my databases, as described in the first Rails book, by putting encrypt and decrypt methods on the :after_find, :before_save, and :after_save hooks in my model (what a lovely transparent way rails does things!). But unlike the book, I actually want to use real encryption, perhaps something from the OpenSSL library, something

Hi, In the pragmatic rails book, a password is hashed and saved using the callback before_create. To do this it sets up an accessor called ''password'' and saves the SHA1 output in the backend as ''hashed_password''. I''ve done a similar thing, but instead of using an accessor I simply use ''password'' for both and assign using: def
