Daniel Micay just can't stop winning. He's currently OBLITERADING /e/OS developers. First LineageOS, then CalyxOS, now /e/. Seems like GrapheneOS will be the last one standing.

About their drama? No clue but Graphene is the most secure phone OS we currently have available, /e/OS is a fork of lineage which did some further degoogling.
Noteworthy about eOS is its pre-installed software. Namely, their awful launcher and ambiguous software store. The biggest drawback for Graphene is their reliance on google pixel phones which makes it harder to install graphene and lets some schizos run wild with theories about how this is controlled opposition, comes directly from israel to circumcise your kids etc.

It's about trust. Because Rossmann was scared Micay would put something malicious into the OS to get back at him. Now they are building the OS from source independently and verifying that it's the same. So nobody can put anything into the releases that's not in the (open) source.

heavily focusing on protecting users against attackers exploiting unknown (0 day) vulnerabilities means exactly that. There are no constraints in this sentence so he means exactly that grapheneOS has high risk threat model where there are corpos against you, that also have posession of your firmware encryption keys for root of trust, because they are the ones manufacturing your blackbox proprietary platform. it's straight out a lie to claim you're trying to secure against unknown vulnerabilities when your platform doesn't even have a clear trust. It's also hypocrisy to seethe on internet when someone make a slightly untrue statement about your project when you're telling bullshits like this on your actual website.

Strawmanning again, I see.
Micay never claimed absolute guaranteed security from each and everyone for all time. He's very clear about minimizing attack surface and giving you the best attempt at security to the best of current knowledge.

And even if someone would break the secure element (if by magic encryption keys for root of trust or a backdoor or a security vulnerability) that helps very little. Because decryption keys are not stored in plain text, but derived using your passphrase/PIN. In a high-level threat model you use a strong passphrase and turn off your phone whenever not in use. So they can exploit the OS and hardware all they want, they won't get your data without the passphrase.

have you not read my post, at all? I mean you have to be a retard to not see the point here.
saying that you heavily focus on preventing unknown vulnerabilities with paranthesising the 0-day like as if it's not enough to just tell 'unknown', messages that you really give a shit about security. And without any constraint stated in the same sentence, it means they have a high risk threat model. It's deceiving the end user at best. They seem to be so serious about this project and go into endless discussions online over the tiniest slightest untruths but yet they omit their actual threat model on their website and say they are against 0-day vulns as a whole. Bullshit.

I don't know what kind of retarded thing you heard from them but this is not true. The manufacturer of the platform has total control over it. They can unlock your bootloader remotely (like Xiaomi do in request). The hardware is secure vault only against you and not against them.
>Because decryption keys are not stored in plain text, but derived using your passphrase/PIN.
wtf? holy shit. Did you enter your (unexisting) passphrase the first time you bought your phone so that it could verify its firmware and bootloader? Actually try to learn how things work at that level like firmware and bootblock integrity

No it wasn't, because that's obviously impossible. It was always about being as secure as it can be, while still keeping it usable for everyday operation. It's even explicitly mentioned not to rely on the secure element throttling for high threat-models as it may get broken in the future. To instead use a strong passphrase for this purpose.
And it has been and still is the best choice for a private and secure phone.

They do protect against 0-day-exploits by hardening. By padding address spaces. By zeroing memory. Exploits which in other cases might be able to access vulnerable memory might achieve nothing on GrapheneOS. It's clear that it doesn't protect against any and all 0-day -exploits, but against some of them. and this strategy does appear to be working as cellebrite till can't crack GrapheneOS.

as you correctly said, it's hardening. and it works only against certain threats. it's definitely not "heavily focusing on protecting users against attackers exploiting unknown (0 day) vulnerabilities" with no mention of threat model.
I know you want to justify them with these excuses but any person that would have spurted this much misinformation against them would be lynched by them to oblivion. I'm just calling them lying hypocrites, not dismissing the actual security work being done.

It's what they themselves say

how so? What more should they do?

>with no mention of threat model.
It works for many threat models. Indeed, you can choose how far you want to take it yourself. By choosing what software to install. What connectivity to enable and automatically turning it off when not in use (bluetooth, nfc, wi-fi). Disabling 2G and/or 5G connectivity. Auto-reboot timer (between a minute and multiple days). Different modes for disabling USB.

>I know you want to justify them with these excuses but any person that would have spurted this much misinformation against them would be lynched by them to oblivion. I'm just calling them lying hypocrites, not dismissing the actual security work being done.

I like briar, but its one downside is all your contacts know your device's bluetooth address, as it has to be part of your briar profile information that is exchanged. Briar is good, but it needs a switch to spoof that address as 00:00:00:00:00:00 and disable BT transport with that contact.

I am redoubling my pro-Graphene shilling on discord and other forums now in response to the shilling. ALL NATO GOVERNMENTS MUST FALL!

Ok yeah that's a legitimate criticism I've had too. I'd prefer focusing on fixing briar before switching to Cwtch but I respect your decision.
