What makes you think it's not encrypted? https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Full_disk_encryption https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Full_disk_encryption seems to indicate that support varies a bit by device but it's perfectly doable.
- Arnavion 2y agoNote that the initramfs is stored without encryption or signing. So while your data won't be leaked when your phone gets stolen, it should be considered compromised if you get it back.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoSure, lack of secure boot is a tradeoff. Of course, by the same token you can just reflash the boot partition and fix that.
- netsharc 2y agoHow does flashing work, who controls the writes? I remember reading about hacking the controller of an SD card to override the read/write functionality. I think if the bootloader is overwritable, it could lie to you about reflashing the boot partition...
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoIt varies by device. Obviously something has to handle writes, but generally it's a lower stage that isn't easily writable itself.
