A LUKS volume with a detached header is indistinguishable from random data.
- monster_truck 3mo agoHave you actually compared the random data that various tools write to a disk to encrypted files? Load up binwalk and give it a rip, you will be surprised by how distinct the entropy graph is between the two
- ThePowerOfFuet 3mo agoWhat you propose ("the random data that various tools write to disk") is not _random data_. Compare the entropy graph of /dev/random against a LUKS volume with a decrypted header, and you will see no difference.
