Bug#792380: RFP: chkboot -- a tool to help detect changes to an unencrypted /boot partition



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Package name: chkboot
Version: 1.1
Upstream Author: Giancarlo Razzolini <gian@razzolini.com.br>
URL: https://github.com/grazzolini/chkboot
License: GPL 2

Description: chkboot is a set of scripts that are meant to be run on a system with an encrypted disk drive. Due to the nature of disk encryption, in order to get the operating system to boot, there needs to be a portion of it which remains un-encrypted. These scripts check that those files have not changed between reboots. Since the scripts and the data they generate are stored on the encrypted part of the disk, any attempts to modify the boot partition between reboots will be detected.
