Can cryptsetup be used to open a veracrypt file like crypsetup/dm-crypt can open luks? What is the correct process ?
Want to make sure other software can open veracrypt file , command line or gui is fine, as long as it can open a veracrypt file.
Tried:
-
sudo cryptsetup tcryptOpen '/media/path/to/veracrypt/file' stuff
- sudo cryptsetup --type --tcryptOpen ''/media/path/to/veracrypt/file' stuff
- cryptsetup tcryptOpen '/media/path/to/veracrypt/file' stuff
The @Vojtech Trefny answer below seemed to work, but with an error:
sudo cryptsetup --type tcrypt --veracrypt open '/media/path/to/veracrypt/file' stuff
Enter passphrase for /media/...:
Device '/media/path/to/veracrypt/file' is too small.
```
password was able to open the veracrypt file using veracrypt, but not using cryptsetup.
Additional note: This is command allowed me to access veracrypt/truecrypt files using cryptsetup
sudo cryptsetup --type tcrypt open container-to-mount container-name
kenfavors.com has a simple example page that may be useful to anyone having similar problem described above
