So long as apple can release an update to render every 3rd party hack useless, why should anyone complain ... ? ( or can they !?! )

...
I can give them many ways to do that and without really any much efforts.

Why they didn't do it... well, that's open for many to speculate about it

Found this on a other forum, all readable text in the osxlinux file...

Not really useful, but figured it could be handy for some

AES-ECB-%3d (%s): failed
passed
AES-CBC-%3d (%s): AES-CFB128-%3d (%s):
That sounds like variants of AES so I guess they encrypted something, maybe that weird initrd that nothing I kow can open. It makes no sense, assuming there is only kexts inside the initrd right, and some of them are just open source like RealtekR1000 and OpenHaltRestart?
Anyone tried replacing the initrd with a standard initrd.img?
Also it seems they are using pxelinux instead of isolinux for the loader if I'm not wrong.

If it's AES encrypted then we'll probably never be able to open it right?

Edit: Could they be using dm-crypt?

what do these guys want to hide or protect.
some change to boot 132 code and loading method i think.

On the same media(Sony CD R-W 10x) chameleon 2 fails with EBIOS error even in legacy mode. But rebel EFI loads without any of them but can't load properly cause of GFX issue(screen stay black with "no entry" on display) on a GTX285

Like i've been read as it's based on boot 132, Apple can take advantage of this situation and i hope they will

Thanks! Good work.
Can you explain what method you used? Also people would be interested in the cbboot file used.

Thanks tea!
How did you get into the encrypted disk?
Also is it maybe possible that you can upload the files somewhere?
