README.md

hashboot hashes all files in /boot and the MBR to check them during early boot. It is intended for when you have encrypted the root partition but not the boot partition. The checksums and a backup of the contents of /boot are stored in /var/lib/hashboot by default. If a checksum doesn't match, you have the option to restore the file from backup.

If there is a core- or libreboot BIOS and flashrom installed, hashboot can check the BIOS for modifications too.

Install

Packages

Void Linux

xbps-install -S hashboot

Gentoo

Ebuilds are available via the tastytea repository.

Manual

  • Make hashboot executable
  • Place hashboot anywhere in ${PATH}
  • Install the appropriate init script
  • If applicable, copy kernel-hook to /etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/zzz-hashboot (make sure it is called after all other hooks)
  • To generate the manpage, install asciidoc and run build_manpage.sh.

Usage

  • First run creates a configuration file. Select the desired checkroutines
  • Run hashboot index to generate checksums and a backup for /boot and MBR
  • Run hashboot check to check /boot and MBR
  • Run hashboot recover to replace corrupted files with the backup

Notes

  • You can't use the openrc/sysv init scripts with parallel boot.
