MiSTer FPGA Forum

is LUKS encryption in this Linux release?

The reason I ask is because I will be settings up some CIFS and I hate storing passwords on insecure disks.
And it might be a easier to just buy a 'large' sdcard. But none the less I would like to know

Why not create a dedicated shared folder with a user with read-only permissions for the MiSTer only? This way you don't have to worry about insecurely stored credentials?

LUKS won't help much here. Someone would need to steal your SD for that. Network based attack is *far* more likely unless you leave your box unattended at parties and the like. But then you'd better off with a second SD for just that purpose.

I agree with the previous suggestion: set up a low privilege account and be done with it.

Its not only CIFS, also the wpa_supplicant contains your unencrypted WIFI password
I'm keeping this off the network until I have a proper grasp of the buildroot.

Encrypt your wifi password with wpa_passphrase.

I haven't tested it on Mister since I don't use wifi on it, but i've used on various other platforms and since the command is available on Mister, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Try something like this: From the output, use the un-commented psk line in place of your unencrypted psk line in your wpa_supplicant file.

The MiSTer isn't a very secure device networking or otherwise. That's not its priority. Firewall it off by other means if you must. Mine lives in the guest wifi VLAN.

@Flandango: perfect

@Bas: I figured as much, those highly exploitable Bluetooth dongles I put in the front probably wont help either
