Research direction
Start with docs/design/stealth-posture.md §8, “Out of scope,” and compare it with this tracking issue. Done means confirming that the redroid kernel-level artifacts, CPU flags, and sensor limitations are clearly documented as out of scope; no Beetroot code change is expected.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Summary
Tracking issue for a documented, out-of-scope known limitation so researchers can find it.
redroid leaks a set of emulator tells that Beetroot cannot patch because they live below the container boundary:
/dev/socket/qemud,/dev/qemu_pipe,/sys/module/qemu_pipe- CPU feature-flag mismatches (
AT_HWCAPdifferences, missing AES-NI, etc.) - Missing or obviously-simulated sensors (e.g.
SENSOR_TYPE_ACCELEROMETERreturning perfectly flat data forever)
Disposition
These are redroid's responsibility, not Beetroot's — won't fix here. Documented as a "known emulator tells" limitation. Researchers who need hardware-grade stealth should use the adb device backend against a physical rooted phone.
