Automatically encrypt acquisition folder (and securely wipe unencrypted files) #1

Open botherder opened 6 years ago

In some cases, carrying acquisition data (particularly memory snapshots) through various types of checkpoints (e.g. borders/airports) could be problematic as it might expose very sensitive personal data.

The idea would be to automatically compress, anonymize and encrypt the acquisition folder if for example a PGP public key is detected on the drive.

The primary issue is the size of the data to be encrypted, which with memory snapshots might be significant.

Started with 56fde5a4df85aab38541a6542a86c9b9c8152bb6. Still trying to figure out what's the best way to encrypt the acquisition.

Almost completed with 98816474bed3aeea5d35c12b4d7d34e0d3405032. Need to securely wipe the unencrypted files though.
