[opensuse-security] loop-AES problems ...
Hello, there ! I just need any kind of help with mentioned loop-AES's way of encrypting data. It happend that I encrypted ..luckily ?, I don't know .. my super confidential data... but I'm not able now to read it. .... I mean I can't setup encrypted loop device on my files. That's what I get : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- linux-ej56:/mnt/media/music # losetup \ -e aes-256 /dev/loop1 /mnt/media/music/DvM01a.data Password: << and the answer is .. >> ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel linux-ej56:/mnt/media/music # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Password is correct, loop1 is unused, algorithm name is ok as well ..so what maybe wrong... ? Any suggestion ? Thanks for any answer .. and happy new Year ! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

Sounds like the cryptoloop kernel module is not loaded. Do this to see if this is the case: # lsmod | grep cryptoloop If it is not loaded, do so with: # modprobe cryptoloop See the manual for modprobe for details and other options. To make the module load at boot time, see what system-wide configuration file is used. Here on SuSE, this is /etc/sysconfig/kernel (MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT). Cheers! -- Blade hails you...

..Damm Me.. It works ! Man - T-H-A-N-K-S ! I thought I've lost for that data forever .. and it's not funny option .. Thanks again. (PS: cryptoloop wasn't started - I don't know what I've been thinking about ..) .. aha.. but I find another method to decrypt that encrypted by AES256 data, ..using aespipe ...and it works fine, but it's good to know that I can count on loop-aes too. Great Thing happen ! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

I am glad, I could be of assistance! No one likes to losing data... -- Blade hails you... None of you understand And it doesn't matter To a broken marionette like me --Nightwish
