|

February 2014 - 1.5.2
|
||||
|
||||
Removed automatic guessing of key file besides tomb to encourage
|
||||
users to keep tomb and key separated, but also to simplify the
|
||||
code in key retrieval and avoid a bug occurring in the previous
|
||||
version.
|
||||
|
||||
February 2014 - 1.5.1
|
||||
|
||||
Fix to stdin piping of keys, which were not correctly processed
|
||||
nor were deleted from volatile memory (tmpfs). Version is now
|
||||
updated accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
January 2014 - 1.5
|
||||
Minor bugfixes to documentation, error handling, support for
|
||||
multiple and encrypted swap partitions and qr code engraving.
|
||||
This release also includes some minor code refactoring of
|
||||
load_key() and loop mount checks. Also the tray app is updated
|
||||
to gtk-3 and works simply with a tomb name as argument.
|
||||
Documentation was updated accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
June 2013 - 1.4
|
||||
|
||||
This release fixes an important bug affecting Tomb 1.3.* which
|
||||
breaks backward compatibility with older tombs and invalidates
|
||||
keys created using 1.3 or 1.3.1. For more information about it
|
||||
read the file KNOWN_BUGS. New features are also included:
|
||||
indexing and search of file contents, engraving of keys into paper
|
||||
printable QRCodes for backup purposes and improvements in key
|
||||
encryption. A setkey command is added to change the key file that
|
||||
is locking a Tomb. This release restores backward compatibility
|
||||
with tombs created before the 1.3 release series.
|
||||
|
||||
June 2013 - 1.3.1 (DEPRECATED USAGE, see 1.4 and KNOWN_BUGS)
|
||||
|
||||
Major bugfixes following the recent refactoring. This release
|
||||
fixes various advanced commands as search/index, KDF key
|
||||
protection against dictionary attacks and steganographic hiding of
|
||||
keys. It provides compatibility across GnuPG 1.4.11 and .12 which
|
||||
broke the decoding of keys. Usage of commandline option is made
|
||||
consistent and full paths are honored. A new test suite is
|
||||
included and documentation is updated accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
May 2013 - 1.3 (DEPRECATED USAGE, see 1.4 and KNOWN_BUGS)
|
||||
|
||||
A refactoring of Tomb's main script internals was made, including
|
||||
a new messaging system, machine parsable output, cleaner code and
|
||||
updated compatibility to Debian 7. A new search feature lets users
|
||||
index and run fast filename searches in their open tombs. Creation
|
||||
of tombs is broken out in three steps (dig, forge and lock).
|
||||
Source distribution includes experimental add-ons for a python
|
||||
GUI, KDF key encryption and a key "undertaker". Documentation was
|
||||
updated.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nov 2011 - 1.2
|
||||
|
||||
Includes an Important fix to password parsing for spaces and
|
||||
extended chars, plus a new 'passwd' command to change a key's
|
||||
password. Tomb now checks for swap to avoid its usage (see SWAP
|
||||
section in manpage) and warns the user when the tomb is almost
|
||||
full.
|
||||
|
||||
May 2011 - 1.1
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes to mime types, icons and desktop integration. A new 'list'
|
||||
command provides an overview on all tombs currently open. Now a
|
||||
tomb cannot be mounted multiple times, the message console has
|
||||
colors and better messages. Different mount options (like
|
||||
read-only) can also be specified by hand on the commandline.
|
||||
|
||||
March 2011 - 1.0
|
||||
|
||||
Clean and stable. Now passwords are handled exclusively using
|
||||
pinentry. Also support for steganography of keys (bury and exhume)
|
||||
was added to the commandline. Commandline and desktop operations
|
||||
are well separated so that tomb can be used via remote terminal. A
|
||||
new command 'slam' immediately closes a tomb killing all processes
|
||||
that keep it busy.
|
||||
|
||||
February 2011 - 0.9.2
|
||||
|
||||
The tomb-open wizard now correctly guides you through the creation
|
||||
of new tombs and helps when saving the keys on external USB
|
||||
storage devices. The status tray now reliably closes its tomb.
|
||||
|
||||
February 2011 - 0.9.1
|
||||
|
||||
Sourcecode cleanup, debugging and testing.
|
||||
Integrated some feedback after filing Debian's ITP and RFS.
|
||||
|
||||
January 2011 - 0.9
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb is now a desktop application following freedesktop standards:
|
||||
it provides a status tray and integrates with file managers. The
|
||||
main program has been thoroughly tested and many bugs were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
August 2010
|
||||
|
||||
The first usable version of Tomb goes public among hacker friends
|
||||
|
||||
During the year 2009
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb has been extensively tested, perfectioned and documented
|
||||
after being used by its author
|
||||
|
||||
Sometime in 2007
|
||||
|
||||
mknest was refactored to work on the Debian distribution and since
|
||||
then renamed to Tomb. dyne:bolic specific dependencies where
|
||||
removed, keeping Zsh as the shell script it is written with.
|
||||
|
||||
Back in 2005
|
||||
|
||||
The "nesting" feature of dyne:bolic GNU/Linux lets users encrypt
|
||||
their home in a file, using a shell script and a graphical
|
||||
interface called Taschino.
|
||||
|
||||
Taschino included a shell script wrapping cryptsetup to encrypt
|
||||
loopback mounted partitions with the algo AES-256 (cbc-essiv
|
||||
mode): this script was called 'mkNest' and its the ancestor of
|
||||
Tomb.

# TOMB INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
## Install required tools
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb needs a few programs to be installed on a system in order to work:
|
||||
|
||||
* zsh
|
||||
* gnupg
|
||||
* cryptsetup
|
||||
* pinentry-curses (or -gtk or -qt as you prefer)
|
||||
|
||||
Most systems provide these tools in their package collection,
|
||||
for instance on Debian/Ubuntu one can use 'apt-get install'
|
||||
on Fedora and CentOS one can use 'yum install'
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Tomb
|
||||
|
||||
To install Tomb simply download the source distribution (the tar.gz file)
|
||||
and decompress it. From a terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
cd Downloads
|
||||
tar xvfz Tomb-1.5.3.tar.gz (correct with actual file name)
|
||||
|
||||
Then enter its directory and run 'make install' as root, this will install
|
||||
Tomb into /usr/local:
|
||||
|
||||
cd Tomb-1.5.3 (correct with actual directory name)
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
After installation one can read the commandline help or read the manual:
|
||||
|
||||
tomb -h (print a short help on the commandline)
|
||||
man tomb (show the full usage manual)
|
||||
|
||||
At this point one can proceed creating a tomb, for instance:
|
||||
|
||||
tomb dig -s 1000 secrets.tomb (be patient and wait a bit)
|
||||
tomb forge -k secrets.tomb.key (be patient and follow instructions)
|
||||
tomb lock -k secrets.tomb.key secrets.tomb
|
||||
|
||||
## Install optional tools
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb can use some optional tools to extend its functionalities:
|
||||
|
||||
executable | function
|
||||
---------- | ---------------------------------------------------
|
||||
dcfldd | show progress while executing long operations
|
||||
steghide | bury and exhume keys inside images
|
||||
resizefs | extend the size of existing tomb volumes
|
||||
qrencode | engrave keys into printable qrcode tags
|
||||
mlocate | have fast search of file names inside tombs
|
||||
swish++ | have fast search of file contents inside tombs
|
||||
unoconv | have fast search of contents in PDF and DOC files
|
||||
|
||||
As for requirements, also optional tools may be easy to install using
|
||||
the packages provided by each distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Once any of the above is installed Tomb will find the tool automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Tomb extras
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb comes with a bunch of extra tools that contribute to enhance its
|
||||
functionality or integrate it into particular system environments.
