tomb
The "tomb" command line tool is a utility designed for creating encrypted storage containers called "tombs". These tombs act like encrypted directories where you can securely store files and folders. The tool provides a simple and efficient way to create, manage, and open tombs on a Linux system. Tomb uses the LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) format for encryption, which is a widely used and secure disk encryption standard. It allows you to set a passphrase to lock and unlock your tomb securely. The tool also supports features like keyfile support, timed lock, stealth mode, and even steganography. It is a versatile and customizable tool that helps users protect their sensitive data with ease. Tomb provides a command line interface for advanced users but also has graphical interfaces available for different desktop environments.
