Detect Offline Disk Manipulation

dm-verity

Makes sure every single sector on a block device is authenticated.
It has little overhead but allows no writes!

dm-integrity

Like dm-verity, but offers full read- write access.
It has more overhead since it needs to
maintain a journal!

#Security #Linux
🐧 Linux provides numerous methods to detect offline manipulation of disk data. For block devices, it is recommended to use dm-verity and dm-integrity. 🛡️ This way, entire partitions and their filesystems can be safeguarded against malicious tampering.
