Security-through-obscurity (i.e. using a custom ROM on a lesser-known device) does have some upsides, since you're less likely to be compatible with off-the-shelf exploits. But this is much less true now that LLMs exist, and anyone who can afford the tokens can port any exploit to any and all vulnerable devices.
Who maintains the kernel+driver trees used by the LineageOS port you're using? And what's the modem's security like?
- jambalaya8 2mo agoJust gave me something else to be annoyed about today ("anyone who can afford the tokens can port any exploit to any and all vulnerable devices.") Not sure that is exactly correct yet but guessing not long til it would be. Bleh.
- Retr0id 2mo agoI can tell you from first-hand experience that it is true already (Well, it's true for the specific exploit/device pairings I've tried, I've not tried to construct an omni-exploit) Completely random public example: https://github.com/BuSung-dev/Root-My-Galaxy-Payloads/pull/170 https://github.com/BuSung-dev/Root-My-Galaxy-Payloads/pull/1... (where GLM 5.2 is credited with the port) (Check out the other PRs in that repo for other similar examples)
