Recovering deleted file from a LUKS encrypted partition knowing its passhprase
Hi everybody,
I've a security issue that is really keeping me concerned about. I have a LUKS formatted partition with an ext3 fs within. I'm wondering if it's possible to recover/view the content of deleted files after activating the LUKS partition (ie. knowing the passphrase to activate a KeySlot). Although the partition is physically encrypted, the system can actually treat the resulting mapped partition as a normal block device, hence "viewing" the unencrypted free data blocks of the ext3fs. Is this right or just paranoia? So, as the title says: there is some way to recover deleted files knowing the passphrase of a LUKS encrypted partition, assuming that both LUKS partition and ext3 are consistent? Thanks to you all, Regards, Karimo |
The procedure would be exactly the same, and with the same liklihood of success, as recovering that file from an ext3 file system on an unencrypted partition.
