In recent days is gegeistert through the Internet that Ubuntu passwords for wireless stores in plain text - so much worse, it is the same take all Linux distributions that use the NetworkManager. 16th street mall
The problem is that Network Manager passwords in files in the / etc / NetworkManager / system-connections 16th street mall / stores 16th street mall or somewhere under / etc. If you have not encrypted their hard drive, anyone with a Live CD, armed read my Wi-Fi passwords 16th street mall - it means full of scaremongering here.
The story so far, however, no one has mentioned: the files in / etc / NetworkManager / system-connections / are user and system administrator readable 16th street mall by root. So if I let someone at my computer, then the not that just quickly steal all my Wi-Fi passwords.
Yes, the moment! But with the live CD? Completely genuine? When a computer is exposed so that it can be attacked by a live CD ... Let's say, theoretically you could actually read with a live CD, the Wi-Fi passwords in said directory. It would also be nice if you could fix this somehow.
My notebook with Linux Mint 16, for example, 16th street mall has, as you can see in the screenshot above, also this problem. However, a start of USB devices (CD / DVD drive is not always not an option) in the BIOS is not permitted and the BIOS is protected by a password.
OK, if I stealing a hard drive - ie the whole unit - then he would come to my hard drive. My home directory is encrypted and I could with the hook in "All users may use this network" actually get the password from / etc / NetworkManager / system-connections 16th street mall / - I've tried it. But I'm not worried, about this security hole - at least it swirls in my opinion, more dust than the whole thing is worth it.

Everyone is allowed to his computer, 16th street mall which can be used without problems, at least in the default configuration of Ubuntu, get root access. If you select the recovery mode when you start Ubuntu, you get root access without 16th street mall a password.
You can read the passwords as a normal user not when one is logged on. Default encryption on open source 16th street mall ... sinnfrei 16th street mall (security through obscurity .. with open source code?)
A possibility would be to encrypt the password by using the user password, but then it would no longer system wide connection. You can also create user connections, whether because passwords are encrypted - no idea.
