DECRYPTCORE(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual DECRYPTCORE(8)
NAME
decryptcore - decrypt a core dump of the operating system
SYNOPSIS
decryptcore [-fLv] -p privatekeyfile -k keyfile -e encryptedcore -c core
decryptcore [-fLv] [-d crashdir] -p privatekeyfile -n dumpnr
DESCRIPTION
The decryptcore utility first decrypts keyfile using privatekeyfile and
then uses the resulting key to decrypt encryptedcore saved by
savecore(8). The result is saved in core.
Alternatively a user can decrypt a core dump numbered dumpnr from the
crashdir directory. In this case a dump key from the key.# file is used
and the result is saved in the vmcore.# file where "#" corresponds to
dumpnr.
By default decryptcore does not overwrite an old core dump as a user
might want to store the core somewhere else for the future. This
behaviour can be changed using the -f flag.
The decryptcore utility can be started with the following command line
arguments:
-f Remove a decryped core dump if it already exists.
-L Write log messages to syslogd(8).
-v Print or log verbose/debugging information. This
option can be specified multiple times to raise the
verbosity level.
-p privatekeyfile Specify location of a private key file which will be
used to decrypt a dump key file.
-k keyfile Specify location of a dump key file.
-e encryptedcore Specify location of an encrypted core.
-c core Specify location of a resulting decrypted core dump.
-d crashdir Specify an alternative crash dump directory. The
default crash dump directory is /var/crash.
-n dumpnr Specify a number of a crash dump to be decrypted.
EXIT STATUS
The decryptcore utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
