Rooting and Security: Busting the Myth

There’s a common myth floating around that rooting your Android device automatically makes it insecure. This is simply not true. Rooting doesn’t magically give others access to your device; it’s only you, the device owner, who has control. When done right, rooting can even enhance security. 🎭🎭🫚⭐🫚
Here’s why:

Root Permissions:

When you root your device, you’re essentially unlocking a level of control over the system. This means you can deny or grant specific apps permissions to access deeper system files. You manage what apps can or can’t do, which provides more control over what runs on your phone.

SELinux Support:

You can root your device while keeping SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) enforcement on, which is a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized access.

Attestation & Integrity:

Using (cRom) inbuilt PIF / module & some close source modues like shamiko, zygisk next & trickystore modules allows your device to pass Google’s SafetyNet (the security feature designed to detect root) & PI. you can use apps like Netflix or Payment apps, which normally refuse to work compromised devices.

Improved Privacy:

Rooting can also let you take control of your privacy. For example, you can block intrusive ads, nuke bloatwares, limit what information apps can access, or even block trackers that collect data on your behavior. The list goes on & on....

In short, if you know what you're doing, rooting your device doesn't necessarily weaken its security and can be just as secure, if not more, than a stock device. It’s all about how you manage root access and use the proper tools.

However, while this optimistic view is valid for users who take care, it's also essential to recognize some downsides (like potential risks, voided warranties, or the possibility of bricking your device) that come with rooting, as discussed earlier. Rooting doesn't automatically make your device less secure, but it does open up more potential for misuse, so it’s important to have a solid understanding
