That is impressive. However, if you have physical access to the RAM, you can probably also just pop in a live USB, chroot into the system and do whatever you want. Regardless, this injection was interesting and impressive. Hats off to a clever hacker like that.
Yeah, it's wild to me that desktop operating systems don't encrypt storage by default. Both iOS and Android do.
I chose to not encrypt my SSDs as I don't want to forget the password and lose all my data. But now I have an external backup I'm fine encrypting them.
I would love to see something like macOS's FileVault encryption. It completely blends in with the login screen and your decryption password is your user password.
