I'm putting this vid out to go with my new mutt-wizard, which you should check out! (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idl1fd1qy5-6fYU.html)

I prefer a rot13 double encryption

If you want to encrypt text when editing it in vim (usefull for email encryption): %! gpg -er --armour

If I may suggest, I think you should follow up this video with a video about pass, the "Standard UNIX password manager", since it uses gpg for the encryption of the password and it can be used by many programs. For example, I have my email password stored in pass, and whenever offlineimap needs to access it to update my emails it uses a pass command (`pass show Path/To/Password`) so I don't need to store it in plain text and I also don't need to type it everytime I update my emails.

Thank you! This is perfect. I'm writing a script to backup a configuration file over the network but the config file has other secrets stored in plain text. Now I can write a stable script to store the backups securely in a legit way. Thanks for explaining!

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point without a lot of "or you could do this" "or you could do that".

Thank you very much man, this helped me a lot. Very clear video, lovely (non hindi) english, everything's super cool. Thanks again

Can you make another video for things below > 1. how to back up those key. 2. how another person import your public key before encrypting

Good intro for me. Now I need to go learn more, and what the fluff you where typing in the terminal half the time :)

Great video Luke, and great content in general. Glad I stumbled across this tonight. Hopefully will remember to follow you wherever on the other content sites you inhabit.

Use gpg --full-generate-key --expert , Luke!

8:19 don't tell me what to do anyway awesome video ! i had to deal with gpg keys when i was using arch but i never took the time to learn more than that they deal with security and now i know thanks

You're great at explaining this, but I always feel like I'm watching that "How English sounds to non-English speakers" video. Like my brain is saying "you know this language but he's saying fake words!"

Clear crystal info , thanks Bro

You explain really good. You're gifted

I'm really new at this and your video helped me a lot, thank you. But, how do you put your signature on the encrypted file, and how does the recipient open it? You give him the password by phone?

Wow, didn't know about shred -u. Tnx :D About keys expiring, so I assume if private key expires, you can no longer decrypt files that were encrypted with that private key ?

Thanks for this simple explanation.

Thank you for this valuable information.

How do you get that view in a terminal?

gpg is awesome

Thank you for the nice tutorial ♡

Nice presentation.

Can you share your vim multi-scree setting, thank u .

Hey Luke, nice and useful video as always. What was that task managing program on the right at the beginning?

Nice and to the point!

What distro are you using? It looks cool

very nice video. good stuff.

This is fantastic! I need to ask: can I decrypt my encrypted file from a Windows pc? And what if my linux laptop (which I used to encrypt my file) doesn't work? Will I still be able to decrypt my file? Thank you

thx bro very helpful !!

Do you have any tutorial/guide on how to setup a working environment like yours? Seems pretty cool and efficient...

What is the best way to store your gpg backup file ?

Use gpgtar if you want to encrypt a folder and now you can hide your 1.5 tb homework folder

Someone on a forum said to always write down your key.... Weirdest thing happened though.... I was not told my password.. I also know for a fact that I did NOT encrypt anything, yet there are encrypted files.. I updated mint, and boom!! my wifi changed names, half of my kernels are gone, some of the apt conf were erased and I can't use the internet anymore.. I don't understand what happened

07:34 I have to set that cache to 0 if I wanted being asked every time for my passphrase - right? How I'm going to do that? Thanks. Update: I fixed it with the *gpa* and set the _default-cache-ttl_ at zero. _[gpa = graphical frontend for the GNU Privacy Guard]_

>mfw me and some friends were just looking this up. a-are you a CIA?

What application are you using as your File Manager in this video?

Thanks @Lukesmith

Do you have a video or resource for your command prompt setup? It looks very nice!

Thanks!

How do you keep making videos on exactly the things I've just started looking into myself? This is like the 4th time.

Luke, Why not use pinentry-curses instead of those annoying popups?

Any plans for a vimwiki video?

Is there a convenient way to encrypt big file? Asymmetrical keypair encryption requires a lot of resource

How do you make it so that you have the terminal up on the top and the current directory state at the bottom of the screen?

this useful in conjunction with apps like pass

Good video

What's the package to install in order to get the GUI that asks for the passphrase ?

nice

gg!

I would like to see a video on pass (password manager) :)

What are the advantages of this compared to say, keepass?

m8 sorry for the dum questions. What is the color hex of your windows border? I don't found it in the conf file kek

what is that funky file manager in the bottom half of the window?

The command gpgtar to encrypt folders

What's the gui that comes up and asks for your pass?

How do you setup your terminal?

Thanks dude! And if i want to keep editing the file after encrypting it?

GPG keypair creation and how to use it in certain file that we want to encrypt. I suppose it is same as gnupg

So does the person who receives your message have to know your password you created it with or do they have their own password to open your encrypted message?

How is an expiring key used for encrypting files? :rofl

Hi Luke! I followed your instructions and generated a key in mac os, but the wizard says it can't locate the gpg keys. I looked at /usr/bin/ and indeed I don't see a gpg folder or file... Any clues?

Wht is the terminal how do I get it

What operation system you can use?

Greetings, How can I encrypt a file, and not have it associated (or dependent upon) a public key/private key? In other words, I simply want to encrypt a file with a passphrase. Anyone that knows that passphrase will be able to decrypt it. This would be useful to put my secret key on a backup drive, and not have to worry that my secret key will fall into the wrong hands (because I will encrypt the secret key, before saving it to a backup drive). I cannot figure out the options for the command line to instruct gpg to encrypt a file. It seems determined to associate any encryption with a public key. Please advise. Thank you.

time to buy drugs

I don't know why this does not work in my computer but openssl works.....

Whats name of that font on your terminal??? and do you highlight active window??

What window manager are you using that's text based? Is that mc?

Hi Luke. In what system ( distro ) do you work ?, thanks

Dude what is the tool you are using to navigate at 4:40?

nice thanks. btw I have this in my .bashrc: alias rm='echo escape rm' ... too often I mixed up rm and mv. With that, you need to type: m. (additionally I have the 'trash' command)

Does this also works for entire directories of files?

If I may ask, what's that linux distro?

Gpg Is Virus ?

I can't seem to decrypt it?

vtop? really?

Hi, how can we prevent duplicate key pairs? Imagine I've generated a key pair (with expiration date) and another person generates the same one, is that possible? If no, how does GPG manage that? What about signing packages with GPG? Is it the same logic behind ? Thanks.

longer is better

If someone's looking for a nice cross-platform encrypted chat and file storage with a git remote helper build on top of PGP check out Keybase keybase.io/

No pywal anymore???

1024 key length would suffice, 4096 is just completely insane

L33t

Haha Boomer, if you're so good why don't you write your own version of gpg?

Well I did not know asymmetric encryption is good for file encryption.. I love to laught at your videos... I just hope nobody is actually going to use what you just presented in this or any other video or nobody is going to listen to your gnu/linux propaganda.. and it is linux not gnu/linux because kernel is not in any way connected to gnu software and you can run gnu software on windows... but do you say it is gnu/dos or gnu/windows.. No! And about the topic : asymmetrical encryption is slow and not intended for file encryption in its core design which is signing and key exchanges.. after key exchange(hmm key to the ->) there is symmetrical encryption anyway.. so read something about encryption before makeing misleading videos.. try to encrypt which this something like a 20G and then try this hardware accelerated symmertrical encryption I was talking about.. well if you have one of this nice intel chips with thier proprietary technology (best performance on vPro i7 chips) I mean thinkpads or stuff like that will probably burn if I were to do this on them.. but come on.. anyway I loved posting this comment from my proprietary iphone’s IOS11 with symmetrically encrypted flash that I knew nothing about but I love that they keep my data safe and this closed source youtube I cannot imagine how that must hurt you so you post videos here.. I would be scared if I were you maybe they will track you having the metadata you supplied with the vidoes.. dude I love that I am not you..
