Is it possible to create a hidden OS for GNU/Linux

Open Raj2032 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Using Delukes, is it possible to create hidden OS for GNU/Linux, where there is an outer password and an inner password, the outer password unlocks the decoy OS, whereas the inner password unlocks the real password?

This is the Truecrypt/Veracrypt approach. Better use Veracrypt in this case. DELUKS approach is a bit different, it uses a full disk or a partition or unallocated disk space, that looks like it was wiped.

VeraCrypt can only do this for Windows, it does not support GNU/Linux in terms of creating a hidden OS. So I am looking for an alternative. how do I set up DELUKS exactly, do I first install Manjaro, then do I install DELUKS?

System encryption procedure is described here: https://github.com/kriswebdev/cryptsetup-deluks/wiki/System-encryption
