- htmlenjoyye 5mo agoyou're on the other side of the secure door already killswitch is to prevent you from gaining root
- cowthulhu 5mo agoOnce you’ve got root, you don’t need to exploit compromised code to do whatever you want.
- LoganDark 5mo agoLSMs say otherwise
- worthless-trash 5mo agoring0 loadable kernel modules disagree.
- LoganDark 5mo agoOnly to the extent there is not a deeply embedded core, of course. Or SMM
- worthless-trash 5mo agoNeither of those are LSM though right ?
- tandr 5mo agoOr malloc(), or open()... They kind of discussing it in the thread on how to prevent this from a malicious actor (or from footgunning yourself), but my understanding it is not all that plain and simple...
