Ubuntu LUKS auto unlock

Do not miss information

This is part of educational materials about Ubuntu administration from my site http://gasparchilingarov.com/.

Click link and subscibe to mailing list to start learning today.

Purpose

This script is intended to help unlocking Ubuntu system encrypted disks automatically when it is used in known environment (at home). In all other environments it will still ask for passwords to unlock disks.

This setup intends to protect system only from accidental laptop theft. If you are potential hacking target - do not use it, your data may be at risk.

Right now scripts take into account:

  • MAC address of your Wifi network
  • information from your external display

If you use it without external monitor (it will pick up your build-in monitor information) there is a risk someone can guess/scan your Wifi and find out MAC address and be able to generate correct decryption key, so do not use it.

Compatibility

Scripts are tested on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit only. Use it on your own risk on other systems.

Usage

Copy files from repository to corresponding directories on your Ubuntu system.

Run /usr/local/bin/autounlock_install_dependency.sh to install necessary dependencies.

Configure your Wifi interface (most probably "wlan0"), Wifi network name and LUKS partition key slot number in /usr/local/etc/auto_unlock.conf.

You can run cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdXXXX to check which slots are free on your encrypted partitions. LUKS partition can have up to 8 keys for decyphering. Key slot 0 is used by default for your manually entered password and cannot be used to auto-unlock.

Run /usr/local/bin/autounlock_install_key.sh to add or update keys on all LUKS partitions defined in /etc/crypttab. Follow script prompts to finish setup.

Add boot scripts

After adding keys to partitions you need to add correspondig scripts to do auto unlock into initramfs.

You need to have scripts in corresponding directories under /etc/initramfs-tools/.

Run update-initramfs -k all -u to update all kernel images.

Try it out

Reboot :) If everything went smoothly - your system will boot without asking passwords at all.

Try disconnecting external monitor or turning off Wifi and rebooting again to confirm that it asks for password to decode partitions.

Removing extra keys

If you want to remove auto-unlock keys use cryptsetup luksKillSlot /dev/sdaXXXX KEYSLOT.

KEYSLOT should be same slot you used while setting up auto-unlock keys. Do not delete occasionally other slots, as you may be locked out of your system.

Extra sources of information

Adding extra information sources is pretty straightforward - just keep it in sync between etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot-prepare:gather_key_information() and usr/local/bin/autounlock_install_key.sh. If you need extra binaries/drivers in initramfs - add them into etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/prepare_auto_unlock_deps script.
