New Post: Favorite\ Volumes.xml, disable/enable truecrypt mode there, is that possible ?

Hello,

I have installed veracrypt and deinstalled truecrypt on linux.

So now I have some old tc encrypted volumes that I would like to leave encrypted with truecrypt for now. Can I specify somehow in my .VeraCrypt/Favorite Volumes.xml that I want to mount a certain favorite volume in truecrypt mode ?

Consider the following Favorite Volumes.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<VeraCrypt>
<favorites>
    <volume mountpoint="/media/veracrypt_safe_documents" readonly="0" slotnumber="2" system="0">/media/myuser/YELLOW/safe_documents/safe_documents.tc</volume>
</favorites>
</VeraCrypt>

Can I add some option to mount this one in truecrypt mode ?

Thanks
BR

New Post: How to install Fedora on Veracrypt

Hi,

To solve the issue of the graphical installer under Fedora 23, you have to install the packages xterm and xmessage using the command:
dnf install xterm xmessage
This way, you will have the usual UI for the installer.

You can also install VeraCrypt using only the command line by using the following steps:
  • Decompress the installer embedded with the file: ./veracrypt-1.17-setup-gui-x64 --noexec --target
  • The above command will create a file called veracrypt_install_gui_x64.sh. Run it directly: ./veracrypt_install_gui_x64.sh
  • Select option 1 and type ENTER
  • Accept the license by typing yes and hit ENTER
  • The installation will proceed.

What does VeraCrypt bring to you?

VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks.
VeraCrypt also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. The following post describes some of the enhancements and corrections done:https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/discussions/569777#PostContent_1313325

As an example, when the system partition is encrypted, TrueCrypt uses PBKDF2-RIPEMD160 with 1000 iterations whereas in VeraCrypt we use327661. And for standard containers and other partitions, TrueCrypt uses at most 2000 iterations but VeraCrypt uses655331 for RIPEMD160 and 500000 iterations for SHA-2 and Whirlpool.

This enhanced security adds some delay only to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data.

Starting from version 1.12, it is possible to use custom iterations through the PIM feature, which can be used to increase the encryption security.

Starting from version 1.0f, VeraCrypt can load TrueCrypt volume. It also offers the possibility to convert TrueCrypt containers and non-system partitions to VeraCrypt format.

UPDATE February 13th 2016 : VeraCrypt 1.17 has been released. It brings many enhancements and fixes like faster mount and boot (factor 2 speedup) and it adds support for Unicode passwords (all characters allowed now, like ö, Ä, é, or ß). Please check the release notes for the complete list of changes. Download for Windows is here.

As usual, a MacOSX version is available in the Downloads section or by clicking on the following link. It supports MacOSX 10.6 and above and it requires OSXFUSE 2.3 and later(https://osxfuse.github.io/).MacFUSE compatibility layer must checked during OSXFUSE installation.
Also a Linux version is available in the Downloads section or by clicking on the following link. The package contains the installation scripts for 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and for GUI and console-only version (choose which script is adapted the best to your machine).

All released files are signed with a PGP key available on the following link :https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc . It's also available on major key servers with ID=0x54DDD393.
Please check that its fingerprint is 993B7D7E8E413809828F0F29EB559C7C54DDD393.

SHA256 and SHA512 sums for all released files are available in the Downloads section.

Hi everyone,

since v1.17 upgrade from v1.16 the following batch file isn't working anymore to mount a volume:

@echo off
"C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /hash sha512 /v \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 /ld /p "password" /q

It outputs "Error while parsing the command line"

Any ideas?

Regards

After installing VeraCrypt (apparently successfully) I had a need to re-boot my PC after cleaning out some old programs unneeded any longer, the 'Drive' that was used to install "My Volume" has disappeared.

Computer no longer sees it or else it is gone.

The VeraCrypt program is still installed.

How can I find it and/or replace it?

Thank you.

The issue comes from the fact that your user account doesn't have the administrative right and these are needed to use the sudo command called by the installation script.

The easier way is to add your current user account to the sudo group. For this, follow these steps:
  • Open a Terminal and type: su
  • Type the root password (not the current user password) and hit ENTER
  • Type the following command after replacing USERNAME by your current user name : adduser USERNAME sudo
  • Logout from the KDE/Gnome session
  • Login again with your user account
Now you will be able to install VeraCrypt.

VeraCrypt uses sudo internally to ask for administrative privileges so this adding your current user to the sudo group is needed anyway.

Created Unassigned: VeraCrypt 1.16/1.17 unable to detect OSXFUSE 3.2.0 version number correctly [394]

From issue #268 submitted to OSXFUSE team:
---
With version 3.2.0, both version 1.16 and the the current version 1.17 of VeraCrypt throw error "VeraCrypt requires OSXFUSE 2.3 or later with MacFUSE compatibility layer installer. Please ensure that you have selected this compatibility layer during OSXFUSE installation." during a container mount. Version 2.8.3 of OSXFUSE works as expected. This is using the installer linked on https://osxfuse.github.io/.

The MacFUSE framework is installed. Confirmed by manually deleting \Library\Frameworks\MacFUSE.framework (and OSXFUSE.framework) before installation.

RESPONSE from bfleischer ---

Please report this issue to the VeryCrypt team. VeryCrypt relies on the osxfuse.version.number sysctl to check the version number of osxfuse. In osxfuse 3.x the sysctl has moved to vfs.generic.osxfuse.version.number.

Any update to this? UEFI/GPT boot volume encryption is a must since this is the new model for PCs. I prefer not to switch over to a legacy mode just to be able to encrypt my drive.

Can you release a statement to the community with plans for this development? Thank you!

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Wanted data at rest encryption for my laptop and tablet, and that's exactly what I got. The only downside is the boot delay. It takes about 1 minute to start booting to windows. I'm playing with the PIM to try to shorten the boot time but the default isn't so bad.

Hi idrassi,

It still does not work. I was in SU and I used my good password SU.

I will summarize what I just did. I installed a version of Debian 8.3 64 bit encrypted LVM. The password to my encrypted LVM is identical to the SU password. The "pierre" user also uses the same password as the SU.

So I opened the Konsole terminal, in which I type: SU then I press the enter key. They ask me a password, I enter the password SU, I press enter and I slip the veracrypt-1.17-setup-gui-x64 file in the Konsole terminal, I then press the enter key to start the installation.

I get an error message:
pierre@linux-1:~$ su
Mot de passe : 
root@linux-1:/home/pierre# /home/pierre/Téléchargements/veracrypt-1.17-setup/veracrypt-1.17-setup-gui-x64 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VeraCrypt 1.17 Installer..
No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: :0
root@linux-1:/home/pierre#
I said it had made the change with adduser USERNAME sudo but no use since I had already used my SU In User Administrator "stone". It did no good.

I confirm that there's indeed a problem installing Debian 8.3 64 bit.

Hello Mounir,

This issue is inherited from TrueCrypt. When you deinstall either TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt, the appropriate driver still exists in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers directory.

I discovered this issue when I deinstall TrueCrypt to avoid the security issue related to theTrueCrypt driver and discovered that the truecrypt.sys driver still existed on my system. I performed a deinstall with VeraCrypt using 1.16 version on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS and the veracrypt.sys still exists in the directory I listed above.

Kind Regards,

Comments: Indeed there was a bug in the installer inherited from TrueCrypt and which caused veracrypt.sys not to be delected on Windows 64-bit machines. On Windows 32-bit, there was no issue. The bug was linked to the fact that the installer is a 32-bit application and it didn't disable Wow64 fs redirection when trying to delete veracrypt.sys on 64-bit machine. This caused c:\Windows\System32\drivers to be interpreted as c:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers and of course veracrypt.sys in not there. I have implemented a fix: https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/b4628621af6a363537c187916c4849764e9b8d56 I also build a new Windows installer that contains this fix. You can get it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/veracrypt/files/VeraCrypt%20Nightly%20Builds/VeraCrypt%20Setup%201.18-BETA1.exe/download

Edited Issue: Version 1.17 and the old driver [387]

VeraCrypt fails to start being installed as portable. It says "Error: An incompatible version of the VeraCrypt is currently running", and then "Unable to connect to the VeraCrypt device driver".
Previous version was uninstalled, reboot PC didn't help too. I found the driver (veracrypt.sys) from the previous (1.16) version of VeraCrypt in Windows\System32\drivers and deleted it manually. It helped. But I suppose it's not normal, so you should take into account such situation and provide some countermeasures.
