*** How does it works
|
||||
|
||||
[[images/monmort.png]]
|
||||
|
||||
Tombs are operated from a normal file browser or from the commandline.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a tomb is sufficient to click on it, or use the command **tomb-open**
|
||||
|
||||
When a tomb is open your panel will have a little icon in the tray
|
||||
reminding you that a tomb is open, offering to explore it or close it.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To make safety copies of your keys, tomb lets you "bury a key" inside
|
||||
an image (using steganography techniques) and of course "exhume"
|
||||
buried keys from pictures where they are hidden. Actually it is very
|
||||
hard to guess when something is hidden inside a picture without
|
||||
knowing the password used in steganography.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [[manual.html][manpage]] for more information on how to operate Tomb from the
|
||||
text terminal.

*** Who needs Tomb
|
||||
|
||||
Democracy requires Privacy as much as Freedom of Expression.
|
||||
|
||||
Our target community are desktop users with no time to click around,
|
||||
sometimes using old or borrowed computers, operating in places
|
||||
endangered by conflict where a leak of personal data can be a threat.
|
||||
|

If you don't own a laptop then it's possible to go around with a USB
|
||||
If you can't own a laptop then it's possible to go around with a USB
|
||||
stick and borrow computers, still leaving no trace and keeping your
|
||||
data safe during transports. Tomb aims to facilitate all this and to
|
||||
be interoperable across popular GNU/Linux operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The internet offers plenty of free services, on the wave of the Web2.0
|
||||
fuzz and the community boom, while all private informations are hosted
|
||||
on servers owned by global corporations and monopolies.
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to keep in mind that no-one else better than *you* can
|
||||
ensure the privacy of your personal data. Server hosted services and
|
||||
web integrated technologies gather all data into huge information
|
||||
pools that are made available to established economical and cultural
|
||||
regimes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**This software urges you to reflect on the importance of your
|
||||
privacy**. World is full of prevarication and political imprisonments,
|
||||
war rages in several places and media is mainly used for propaganda by
|
||||
the powers in charge. Some of us face the dangers of being tracked by
|
||||
oppressors opposing our self definition, independent thinking and
|
||||
resistance to omologation.

"The distinction between what is public and what is private is
|
||||
becoming more and more blurred with the increasing intrusiveness of
|
||||
the media and advances in electronic technology. While this
|
||||
distinction is always the outcome of continuous cultural
|
||||
negotiation, it continues to be critical, for where nothing is
|
||||
private, democracy becomes impossible."

|
||||
|

.SH NAME
|
||||
Tomb \- the Crypto Undertaker
|
||||
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "tomb [options] command [arguments]"
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "tomb-open [file]"
|

.IP "tomb-status mountpoint"
|
||||
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb is an application to manage the creation and access of encrypted
|
||||
storage files: it can be operated from commandline and it can
|
||||
integrate with a user's graphical desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb generates encrypted storage files to be opened and closed using
|
||||
their associated keys, which are also protected with a password chosen
|
||||
by the user. To create, open and close tombs a user will need super
|
||||
user rights to execute the tomb commandline utility.
|
||||
|
||||
A tomb is like a locked folder that can be safely transported and
|
||||
hidden in a filesystem; it encourages users to keep their keys
|
||||
separate from tombs, for instance keeping a tomb file on your computer
|
||||
harddisk and its key file on a USB stick.
|
||||
|
||||
For simplified use, the command \fItomb-open\fR starts a wizard that
|
||||
guides users in the creation of a new tomb or, if a tomb file is
|
||||
specified as \fIargument\fR, it opens it and makes it accessible in a
|
||||
default location under the /media folder, starting the status tray
|
||||
applet (\fItomb-status\fR) if a desktop is present.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.SH COMMANDS
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "create"
|
||||
Creates a new encrypted storage tomb and its key, named as specified
|
||||
by the given \fIargument\fR.
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "open"
|
||||
Opens an existing tomb file specified in the \fIfirst argument\fR. If
|
||||
a \fIsecond argument\fR is given it will indicate the \fImountpoint\fR
|
||||
where the tomb should be made accessible, if not then the tomb is
|
||||
mounted in a directory named after the filename and inside /media.
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "close"
|
||||
Closes a currently open tomb. When \fIan argument\fR is specified, it
|
||||
should point to the tomb mount on /dev/mapper; if not specified and
|
||||
only one tomb is open then it will be closed; if multiple tombs are
|
||||
open, the command will list them on the terminal. The special
|
||||
\fIargument\fR 'all' will close all currently open tombs.
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "bury"
|
||||
Hides a tomb key (\fIfirst argument\fR) inside a jpeg image (\fIsecond
|
||||
argument\fR) using steganography: the image will change in a way that
|
||||
cannot be noticed by human eyes and the presence of the key inside it
|
||||
isn't detectable without the right password. This option is useful to
|
||||
backup tomb keys in unsuspected places; it uses steghide and the
|
||||
serpent encryption algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "exhume"
|
||||
Extracts a named tomb key (\fIfirst argument\fR) from a (jpeg) image file
|
||||
(\fIsecond argument\fR) known to be containing it, if the right password is
|
||||
given. This is used to recoved buried keys from unsuspected places.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "-s \fI<MBytes>\fR"
|
||||
When creating a tomb, this option must be used to specify the size of
|
||||
the new \fIfile\fR to be created, in megabytes.
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "-k \fI<keyfile>\fR"
|
||||
When opening a tomb, this option can be used to specify the location
|
||||
of the key to use. Keys are created with the same name of the tomb
|
||||
file adding a '.gpg' suffix, but can be later renamed and transported
|
||||
on other media. When a key is not found, the program asks to insert a
|
||||
USB storage device and it will look for the key file inside it.
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "-n"
|
||||
Skip processing of post-hooks and bind-hooks if found inside the tomb.
|
||||
See the \fIHOOKS\fR section in this manual for more information.
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "-h"
|
||||
Display a help text and quit
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "-v"
|
||||
Display version and quit
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "-q"
|
||||
Run more quietly
|
||||
.IP "-D"
|
||||
Print more information while running, for debugging purposes
|
||||
|
||||
.SH HOOKS
|
||||
|
||||
Hooks are special files that can be placed inside the tomb and trigger
|
||||
actions when it is opened and closed; there are two kinds of such
|
||||
files: \fIbind-hooks\fR and \fIpost-hooks\fR can be placed in the
|
||||
base root of the tomb.
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "bind-hooks"
|
||||
This hook file consists of a simple two column list of files or
|
||||
directories inside the tomb to be made directly accessible inside the
|
||||
current user's home directory. Tomb will use the "mount \-o bind"
|
||||
command to bind locations inside the tomb to locations found in $HOME
|
||||
so in the first column are indicated paths relative to the tomb and in
|
||||
the second column are indicated paths relative to $HOME contents, for
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
mail mail
|
||||
.gnupg .gnupg
|
||||
.fmrc .fetchmailrc
|
||||
.mozilla .mozilla
|
||||
|
||||
.B
|
||||
.IP "post-hooks"
|
||||
This hook file gets executed as user by tomb right after opening it;
|
||||
it can consist of a shell script of a binary executable that performs
|
||||
batch operations every time a tomb is opened.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH PRIVILEGE ESCALATION
|
||||
|
||||
The tomb commandline tool needs to acquire super user rights to
|
||||
execute most of its operations: to do so it uses sudo(8), while
|
||||
pinentry(1) is adopted to collect passwords from the user.
|
||||
|
||||
Tomb executes as super user only those commands requiring it, while it
|
||||
executes desktop applications as processes owned by the user.
