CryptoMaster is a simple tool for initializing and mounting dm-crypt (LUKS) encrypted devices through a user-friendly interface.
One of the main benefits of CryptoMaster is its independence from the usual crypttab/fstab setup, making it an ideal tool for use with removable devices. Users can unlock devices with either a keyfile or with a password of their choosing. The program even includes a panic button that securely shreds keyfiles and config files.
This added security functionality ensures that only individuals with the proper password can decrypt your volumes, providing peace of mind for users. However, it's worth noting that while users can use their existing LUKS drives/images, the current version of CryptoMaster does not come with a GUI to set up new devices.
Overall, Cryptomaster is a reliable and valuable tool for anyone who works with encrypted devices. With its requirement of GTK+ version 2.4.x and gksuui, it's relatively easy to set up and use. The latest update includes an enabled shred function, and several bugs have been removed to improve its functionality.
