We've been talking about the security issues with full-disk encryption, e.g. LUKS. Most of those concerns seem to center around someone who has physical access to your computer, like evil maid attack, cold boot attack, etc. However, isn't the most dangerous and insidious enemy is from online, like rootkit, Trojan, spyware, keylogger, etc.
So, my question is, to what degree having your system partition encrypted with LUKS helps guard against those invisible enemies from online (or, you can call them hackers)? You know, the running time is the most vulnerable time for a LUKS encrypted computer.
