How to run password protected exe in linux ?
I want to run a exe file and after run that it demands a password to dycript the contained data. I have the password but dont know to how to execute this in command prompt.

Have you looked at Wine?

Hi,
Welcome to LQ! Quote:
WINE is a Open Source Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, & Unix. WINE Application Database (AppDB) provides information on application compatibility with Wine. |
If this isn't relevant to the OP's problem, I'll ask the mods to snip it off to its own thread.
I am guessing that the OP is referring to one of those encrypted USB sticks that I now have to use at work (with win). I have one of these [ 13fe:1e27 Kingston Technology Company Inc. ] and when I plug it into linux, it looks like a CD with TotalLock.exe and autorun.inf Windows normally runs this, asks for the password, and then decrypts the data partition. I can get TotalLock.exe to run with wine but it cannot see the encrypted partition, and fdisk tells me there is no disk partition on the USB stick. I suspect that totallock.exe uses some windows-specific system call (that wine has not implemented yet) to make the partition visible. eject /media/TotalLock does not help make the encrypted partition visible to fdisk. I suspect that something like usb_modeswitch is needed to switch off the "CD" and allow access to the encrypted partition (a bit like with those 3G modem sticks), but I cannot get usb_modeswitch to do this (even after sniffing, logging, and replaying the USB communication I see when using that other OS with this device). If I could only access the partition, I expect I could decrypt it, as I too have the key and it says on the label it is using AES-256. If anybody would like me to post the sniffed USB data, and help me make it work with usb_modeswitch, just say so. |
Hi
I have the same problem as tredegar, with minor variations. I want to use an Integral USB stick with TotalLock AES on Debian. When inserted it mounts like a cd with TotalLock.exe. I can run TotalLock with Wine but then get the message "Please insert device!". |
wick,
Thank you for your interest in this problem and welcome to LQ. So far, I have not managed to find a solution to this, although I have spent days sniffing windows USB protocols and then attempting to understand / replicate the traffic. Result = Broken. Perhaps I am just a poor hacker, but there isn't much on the web to suggest any potential solutions. Maybe these devices are not much used yet. So I do clumsy workarounds, like emailing myself the file I need. Is your device the same as mine (13fe:1e27 Kingston Technology Company Inc.) ? lsusb will tell you. |
Hi tredegar and thanks for the welcome
I'm sorry but I am no hacker at all. lsusb tells me a lot, including: Quote:
