Regarding Bug # 2. Rather than updating the documentation, perhaps the better solution is at the end of the install process, create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin which points to VeraCrypt. That is: ln -s /Applications/VeraCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/VeraCrypt /usr/local/bin/veracrypt chmod -h 755 /usr/local/bin/veracrypt This would make VeraCrypt's CLI behavior consistent with Linux implementations.

Several macOS CLI Bugs

using macOS 10.14.6 on Retina MBP mid-2015 and VeraCrypt 1.24-Update 7 I have a VeraCrypt volume /Users/me/foo mounted on /Users/me/bar If I close all applications using files on /Users/me/bar and request VeraCrypt dismount the volume (using GUI). VeraCrypt claims it cannot dismount the volume because files are in use. If I do lsof | grep 'me/bar' it does not find any matches, which confirms that I have not left any files open. If I do lsof | grep 'me/foo' it shows that the only user of foo is VeraCrypt...

I have a macOS security / inadvertent information disclosure question. Scenario: I have an encrypted file container where I store documents in several different formats, including Word, Pages, OpenDocument, PDF, etc. 1) I mount an encrypted file container volume using a VeraCrypt favorite. 2) I mangle files on that mounted volume, including both using apps and the Terminal CLI. 3) I unmount the encrypted volume. I know I have the following potential information disclosure risks on macOS: a) QuickLook...

I have several veracrypt files, and I would like to better understand when a backup of those files is or is not valid on macOS. For example: Assume I have a 1GB file called 'foo' that is a veracrypt encrypted volume. I mount that volume as 'bar' -- which is never backed up by TimeMachine. When 'foo' is mounted, if there is no open files in 'bar' when 'foo' is backed up, is the backup of 'foo' a valid backup? Is the backup of 'foo' valid if there are open files? To generalize my question: When would...

The one security/privacy weakness I see in VeraCrypt is in the use of Favorites. Yes, Favorites is a convenience feature to make it easier to mount partitions when you want to have — for example — a specific mount point. However, creating a Favorite entry discloses the presence of a VeraCrypt file. In other words, a file that looks like random data, could be disclosed as a VeraCrypt file by someone examining VeraCrypt’s favorites. The solution I would propose is to password protect VeraCrypt. Thus,...
