Hi Sluggers,
Has anyone run across any evidence of distributed open-source
binary packages (i.e. *not* compiled at home) that contain nasty
code, trojans, worms, etc?
Of course, your first line of defense is comparing MD5 sums, but
even those can be changed to suit an altered binary.
And a related question would be has anyone uncovered evidence of
actual source code containing surreptitious bits of nastiness?
