That night, Leo booted his Linux machine. The screen glowed blue in the dark. He had a weapon: a custom image he’d been tinkering with for six months. The concept was simple but savage. When an iPhone booted, it loaded a temporary filesystem into RAM—the ramdisk. If he could trick the bootloader into loading his ramdisk instead of Apple’s, he could bypass the iCloud activation lock entirely.
