VeraCrypt

Basically a replacement for TrueCrypt. It adds some security enhacements like a PIM (like a PIN, but mathematical purpose).

Linux Command Line

Install: (Ubuntu)

apt install veracrypt

Create volume:

veracrypt -c [enc_file]

Mount volume:

veracrypt [enc_file] [mount_point]

Unmount volume:

veracrypt -d [mount_point]
veracrypt -d   # unmount all

Mount with password passed in: (need to verify this works)

veracrypt CRYPTFILE CRYPTDIR -p 'PASSWORD' -k  --protect-hidden=no
echo "PASSWORD" | veracrypt CRYPTFILE CRYPTDIR -p  -k  --protect-hidden=no
