The author starts with : "Chromebooks are one of the most secure devices ... a privacy trade off: ... trust Google, ...NSA's Prism programme..." He then cites Crouton's maintainer : "...someone can switch to VT2, log in as root and add a keylogger..." So however, the end user is programmed to be a loser. After all, are not OSx, Android, ChromeOS, Win10 with Cortana potential universal keyloggers ? The more so, without physical access. So Linux in chroot is dangerous ? No. |

The OP article is a little confusing I guess... The security v. privacy shadow article within the "How-to" article really only applies to Chromebooks in particular. >"...someone can switch to VT2, log in as root and add a keylogger..." On vanilla GNU/Linux keystrokes are visible in all VTs. This is not new or news: https://linux.die.net/man/1/conspy >So Linux in chroot is dangerous... chroot is good but not very secure. |
