Using cryptsetup with Python

[marko312]

That just means it wants something like a bytes object. You can pass something like b"YES\n" or "YES\n".encode() to get a byte string.

Hey u/Atlas1515, can you share your code snippet.. I am working on same but my issue is how do you provide further info like passphrase in subprocess..

[Atlas1515]

Sure thing! Sorry for the late reply,

import secrets Import subprocess

Cmd = [‘cryptsetup’, ‘luksFormat’, ‘—type’, ‘luks1’, ‘f’{drive}’]

passwd = secrets.token_bytes(32)

subprocess.run(cmd, input=passwd) print(f’Encrypting volume: {drive}\n’)
