There's no way to fake this? I just looked it up and it seems Magisk is able to fake these attestations somehow. I remember using it to get some mobile games to shut up about my rooted phone. How would rooted devices and custom ROMs work otherwise?

I hate it when these fucking companies use cryptography to control us. Cryptography should be empowering us...

Magisk can fake them for now, but only because Google still supports some pre-TrustZone phones. On newer phones, you can't fake TrustZone, and eventually older phones will just always fail SafetyNet.

    That sucks. If this is what the future holds for Android, I think I'm just gonna switch to Apple already. There's no point to Android if Google insists on destroying everything that made it great.
