sure sounds like someone representing themselves as a person who knows how checkra1n works does not actually know what they’re talking about.pic.twitter.com/8ONEmDFB4A

when assessing that it would be easy to remove the logo and install a rootkit, was this actually attempted? or was the checkra1n development team contacted to verify the statement was true? was the source code examined?
In the quote, it says "someone will modify checkra1n..." so the claim is whether this is possible at all. I know it hasn't been done (yet), but do you think it's possible to repackage checkra1n with a different payload?

Don't get me wrong: it would be work, but repackaging would be easier than developing everything from scratch. There are few people who can write an exploit for checkm8, but many who could engineer the kind of rootkit we're talking about. That's why checkra1n changes things.

Last thing: I don't have a problem with checkra1n. It is what it is! I know it's not made for evil. However, any abuse of components inside it will happen without permission, help, or maybe even knowledge of the original authors.
