I am curious: how can making your files immutable "protect the boot sequence up to load"[1]? While I can see that the immutable flag helps against deletion accidents by the root user, you yourself have mentioned that an attacker can choose to simply remove the immutable flag using chattr and purge the files straight away. [1] While we're at it, what do you mean by "protecting the boot sequence up to load"? And which files of your "almost 100% immutable" server aren't immutable? And what kind of server is this exactly? --> Jijo PS- please do NOT quote the entire message when replying. I had to remove 100 lines of quoted text from your message.
