Boot partition can not be encrypted.



I read somewhere this is good solution:



create a script to sum checksums of files and warning me in changed case



But I don't know where I can start.



Can you give me some hint?






boot checksum

  • No, it doesn't provide security - it provides a notification if something changed. But it doesn't stop changes. I've also seen /boot mounted as read-only, or even unmounted after the system is up and running....

  • Can user acces to boot partition or there is just root which can do it? Wait, so can I have boot partition on USB, plug USB into PC, run system and unplug the USB?

My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell".
