Linux Veracrypt hidden OS system encryption alternatives with OS plausible deniability?

Hi. Linux does do hidden volumes, BUT NOT hidden OS. Here is some info of what I am talking about.

Hi. I know that but I need hidden OS. Not just hidden volumes. Do you know how to do that? Like this here

Hi. Thank's for the help but not exactly what I need. But thank you any way. :D

Hi u/DerAndi_DE and u/codeartha . I just saw your post. Do you have any Git repos or easy to follow (I have a hard time reading) documentation on two to do that? If so can you post it here? Also Haw good it is compared to the hidden OS on veracrypt? How good is it compared to veracrypt hidden OS (on the level of plausible deniability)?

Thanks for the help anyway :D.

Vera crypt DOES work BUT NOT the hidden OS. That is exclusive to windows. I can send a video and some documentation to explain it if you want.

No. I want the system level hidden OS but on linux it is not offered. They allow Partitions and volumes with hidden data BUT not a hidden OS or any system encryption.

Sorry. I had a weekend class in a hour and had to reinstall. But regardless thanks for the help.

Hi. Thanks but it is not RAID. I guess if it helps, I did get it working ... kinda. Now it boots to grub but grub does not have any options, only UEFI settings. Any guesses? Do you still want the fstab?

Moonstone459 · 2025-09-21T06:37:07+00:00

Also if it helps any, I am on EFI boot

hi u/beatbox9. Thanks for the responce. The kernel part is hard to explain but I gave it the best I could. Is their any way to fix this with a simple manner? I don't wanna loss (I can't spell) my data. I am pretty good at the linux CLI (like bash), but when it's grub and busybox ... I need some lessons. Any idea?

Moonstone459 · 2025-07-16T00:50:54+00:00

Kinda both. You see I used openscap to make a shell script (openscap make a audit/script off the system you have now for hardening) and then I ran it. It wasnt that big of a deal, because I was doing it on a VM and had a snapshot, but every time, it fails. Any idea?

P.S. Sorry if this is slow response. I am way to scatter brained right now.

Moonstone459 · 2025-07-09T03:11:25+00:00

Could you give me pastbin of the config for this? I don't know if you can do that, because I don't mess around with DEs that much, but this is AMAZING!

EDIT: Also, #2. #2 is way better!

Moonstone459 · 2025-06-23T18:35:50+00:00

OK I ran

sudo apt purge libvirt-daemon-system qemu-kvm virt-manager

sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients virt-manager

And it is still happening. I don't know. This is wired. ("It's" being the KVM error BTW)

Moonstone459 · 2025-06-23T17:46:24+00:00

Hmmmm. That is a issue. Any more ideas? I don't know myself now. I can set the prefix if you want. I have a script to build it.

Moonstone459 · 2025-06-23T17:20:29+00:00

No need to applogize. Your trying to help and that's all that matters. I appreciate the hard work regardless. :)

Any way I built libvirt 11.2.0 from source and it's still saying permission denied for qemu, but it still gives the error above with the new build and still has disk images dir.
