Hi everyone,
for the 5th June event Reset the Net, I'm preparing a tool that implements an easy to use frontend to many cryptography tasks.

Mainly it is born to simplify the standard use of cryptsetup LUKS encryption both to help creating encrypted devices and encrypted storages in a file.
After that I've added frontends to gpg symmetric and asymmetric cryptograhy. (I know this maybe is more easy to write directly the command needed or usign Kgpg for example... but I've added these features just for completition).

All the interface in implemented via "dialog" use.

I've tested all the functionalities but the program is really in a kind of alpha stage and many controls are unimplemented, so use it with the awareness that you can do lots of damage on the system if you don't know what you are doing.

to run the suite, launch
$ /bin/bash tccf.sh

or launch the subsystem you want or simply the script you want: every action runs in a script, so you can run simply the script for one action bypassing the main menu!

Advices and critics are well accepted.
Thanks for your attention.

only looked over one of the scripts, but very nice. thank you.

Thank you very much!
Please, take a look at the rest of the suite and if you have a suggestions, I'll do my best to implement it after adding some control logic and a main code refactoring.

I'm going also to add disk and file wiping frontends.

Hi!
I've added the module to assist the secure deletion (wiping) procedures.

OBVIOUSLY IF YOU TRY THIS SCRIPT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMAGE OF DATA　[I'm not howling just making the warning more visible]

The new module contains two scripts:
* wipe device
* wipe file

The first is used to wipe a single whole partition. It uses 7 /dev/urandom overwriting passes.

The second wipe a single file. If installed on the system it uses /usr/bin/srm (secure-delete) while if srm is not installed executes the same /dev/urandom copy but for 50 passes and then delete the file.

Launch the script
$ bash tccf.sh
to have access to the main wizard.

Regards.

[off topic] There is a GUI front-end for cryptosetup called zuluCrypt. It can encrypt a file to act like a storage container and a block device/partition and do secure wipe. There is an article/tutorial on zuluCrypt.

Anyway, good luck on your project

nice info both of you.

@linuzfreak: I've missed this one! Good to know!!!
Thanks!

Please check the new release of Two Cents Crypto Frontend.
It's a major change (v0.3), now is more firendly and clean and I've added functions for digital signature.

Have a nice week!

Hi,
I suggest to everyone who is interested, to get the new update of TCCF that add the tool to automatically encrypt all the files of a given directory and all subdirectories.

This tool may be useful to everyone needs to backup a large number of files to DVD or other media that may be accessible on other OSes that does not support the LUKS encrypted filesystem. This way you can count on a mirror of your directory with all the files encrypted, and you'll be able to get back using gpg or other pgp software that is widely available on all the mail systems.

* Soon I'll make the reverse script
* I discourage the use of this function on system used by more than one user, because the passphrase used in the process may be visible on top and ps output.
* Launch this function on a copy of your original directory. The function secure deletes (in the fast way, less secure) each file in clear form, leaving the same directory tree but with only the .asc encrypted files.

So you're adviced!

Have a nice, secure day!

I've added the directory decryption and also fixed some serious issues.
So if you've downloaded yesterday's version, update asap. Thanks
