This just linearly increases the security
If cracking the password on your outermost disk image takes let's say one week, than cracking the password of the second one takes another week.

Not necessarily. If your first password is "hello", and your second one is "fdhjsaiofhaidhfashfoiwqu8947q49uqwiru89q3wu4r2", then the second password could take much longer to guess than the first one.

In that case, the correct course of action would have been to use a strong password the first time.

Actually, they're both wrong. From what I know about AES, it's no better than other forms of encryption when it comes to "nesting". If you do AES once, and then do AES again, you haven't strengthened it any. It ends up being encrypted with just another key no stronger than the strongest key in the chain. It could even end up worse than any of the original keys. |
