If he wanted to know the value of the salt for his disk, wouldn't it be easier if he just modified the sources so it would be printed it out?

- FiloSottile 10y agoI... Actually didn't think of that, to be honest. But it would have involved rebuilding the OpenBSD kernel, so it probably wasn't easier. Also, the tool wouldn't have been reusable. But yeah, good thinking.
- Drdrdrq 10y agoI am not familiar with OpenBSD, so it never occured to me one might have to rebuild kernel for this... Anyway, nice write-up, glad you cracked it in the end! :)
- ryanmerket 10y agoCould you have set a breakpoint on the function and traced it while it created the new encrypted test image until you could dump the salt from memory?
