https://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/symantec-pgp-desktop-peer-review-source-code might be helpful for attacking PGP WDE.

I am looking for PGP WDE software for Linux. It is not easy / possible to download it anymore, it seems.

kholia commented 7 years ago

We have had this wishlist item for years. There seems to be no real user interest in this. It is no longer possible to download this software from Symantec. Hence I am closing this issue to reduce noise.

I was able to download "PGP WDE" for Linux today. It must be my lucky day. Here are the steps to download the "PGP WDE" product.

Open https://www.symantec.com/products/encryption/trialware
Click on "Learn More" below "Symantec Encryption Desktop"
Fill up the form which required disabling the ad blocker.
Select "Symantec Drive Encryption - TW".
You should have access to "Symantec_Encryption_Desktop_10.4.1_Linux.tar.gz" file now. It is dated Jun 21, 2016.

https://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/symantec-pgp-desktop-peer-review-source-code might be relevant to this task too.

The quality of Symantec software is terrible. I can't even get their software working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04.4 (supported platforms).

After installation,

$ pgpwde
pgpwde: error while loading shared libraries: libxslt.so.1: ... No such file or directory

This is easily fixed by sudo aptitude install libxslt1.1. Next problem,

$ pgpwde --license-authorize --license-number "DU4UT-XVF47-Q54TA-MYH22-2FQ3Y-YEC D4Z4Y-PP7ZU-1V5RB-ELVPJ-6X9D4-VBA"
Operation license authorize failed:
Error code -11976: corrupt data

Running the above command as sudo has no impact and results in same error message.

Tried to find help but no luck with the following links,

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH149270.html https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO42122.html

It is not possible to make progress on this task. Hence I am closing this task again.

This is how a PGP WDE bootguard screen looks like.
