Clever! I know some will say it's like closing the barn door after the horse left, but having this in place to mitigate future vulnerabilities will be handy.
ok, but what kind of nefarious use case will it enable if it is accessible to malfeasance.
I guess it could disable the killswitch
If I'm a malicious actor that gets root, can I killswitch the killswitch?
you're on the other side of the secure door already
killswitch is to prevent you from gaining root
