Where does the attacker see the passphrase?
Oh. You took my example way too literally. *echo*ing the password
is an extremely bad idea. You're of course right. But in reality

Is it possible to encrypt the complete block device with loop-AES?
Or does it only encrypt a file that's afterwards loop mounted?
Yes. Everything that can be encrypted with dm-crypt can also be
encrypted with loop-AES.
For example, my laptop has two hard drives.

Some history:
The original crypto-loop from 2.4 is very susceptible

So dm-crypt today provides the same level of security as loop-AES in
single key mode, which as I already stated in a previous email, should
be sufficient for most people. However, you did ask how it was
insecure! :-)
Yep, I did ask
I'm not sure if anyone has covered this, but the following pdf was
very useful for me to encrypt my home dir:

The interesting part was using openssl to encrypt the key and then
using your account's linux password to encrypt the openssl file. This
way, you can change

You read wrong. Dm-crypt *is* the encryption technique now used in the
kernel, and it wasn't chosen out

As I said in another message, what I read is that the userland tools weren't
supporting dm-crypt propersy. Probably I've read something that was outdated.
An old bug I believe. ATM there is nothing I know of that supports a bug
or flaw in any way.

Beyond that, encripting with a key is much better than doing that with a
passphrase because the passphrase can be
