Hi everybody,

I am a bit lost now. I tried (why so ever) to connect my (ext4) encrypted disk to a Windows 10 System - (what a big stupid idea - I know - very very stupid)....

Now I can not access my encrypted disk anymore and wonder if the Header is damaged? My pass-phrase is absolute correct, but not accepted with luksOpen!

luksDump gives

blkid shows

What happened to my external disk? I am running Cent OS7... For any help I would be so thankful!!! Really very very thankful!!! Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Sumaya

Hi,

do you have pictures in there? I do not see pictures in emails, far too many vulnerabilities in the respective libraries in the last few years. Can you re-send with ASCII copies of the output?

Hi there,

Please resend the dumps in ASCII as Arno suggested.

Meanwhile: It seems the disk has no partition and starts with a LUKS-Header right away. While the LUKS-Header itself seems to be consistent (at first glance) the keyslot itself could of course be damaged.

Regards
