LUKS secure automated decryption

I have critical data, let's say machine learning code, GPG keys,... etc.



I would like to create a workstation that will work somewhere else- in someone else's premises.



I don't have concern that someone may try to hack the running computer. Instead, I don't want someone to steal the disk drive and the data stored on that disk drive.



Tutorials like this one guided me to setup a password for protection, but let's say that the place happens to have frequent power outages -- I will not be bothered to provide the password each time the PC reboots.



One solution I found, but it is a quite hard to implement, is LUKS that takes the key from TPM, but I have TPM2.0 which complicates things.



Would you please advice? Is it possible to decrypt LUKS (or a disk encrypted differently) non-interactively, during boot, keeping keys/password/code secure?

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
