minus-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up39arrow-down2·1 year agoI guess if you don’t know what a rootkit is it could seem like one.
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·1 year agoThis is the calmest, most insulting thing you could have possibly said.
minus-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoThanks, often that’s what I’m going for.
minus-squarePixxlMan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoYeah. This meme makes no sense… Let’s avoid misinforming people please. The reality is bad enough, no need to start lying and deceiving
minus-squareMooseBoys@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoWhile WEI definitely doesn’t qualify as a rootkit itself, any useful attester is going to require aspects of one - whether it’s a phone asserting that it hasn’t been rooted, or a PC running with approved SecureBoot and TPM keys.

However to “verify” a system from a hardware level to any decent level of accuracy would require kernel level access. Technically you’re correct, until you’re not.
