weak encryption algorithm Luks type 1 #10

Open onlineapps-cloud opened 3 months ago

onlineapps-cloud commented 3 months ago

hi, i tried right now this tool and i saw in logs that is used Luks type 1, can you change encryption algorithm to use more secure Luks type 2?

BitJam commented 3 months ago

There is a command line option --force=luks2 that changes the encryption type to luks2. This was not advertised because (I think) luks2 didn't work from within busybox which performs the early boot process. Or something like that. If this problem has been fixed and if a new fixed version of busybox is used then --force=luks2 should make a working encrypted live-usb using luks2.

i checked live-usb-maker with --force=luks2 and it's working as expected, i checked on mxlinux distro.

onlineapps-cloud commented 3 months ago

also i saw that flag --force=luks2 not exist in app help, can you add it?

I don't maintain the GUI wrapper. I think Adrian from the MX team does that. You can ask them at the mx-live-usb-maker repo (I think) or over on the MX forums.
