What encryption are you using? I was under the impression that FV2 (or any other full disk encryption solution) does not work on a Hackintosh

Why would FV2 protect me from DMA attacks on machines that are essentially self built off the shelf parts?

Hint: it probably won't.

It unfortunately doesn't work on the boot volume of a Hackintosh, but pretty sure it does on other volumes.
Actually, there have been recent development on this.[1] I'm not brave enough to try it though.
