How secure are open source projects against those kind of attacks? In an commercial, close-sourced project everyone has a contract with his employer and is therefore less likely to introduce back doors. How are open source projects protected against back doors? code reviews before inclusion in the code base, maybe? obviously you cannot rely on some random outside dude stumbling over the backdoor while looking at the source code!!!
the fact that there's so much discussion about whether it's ethic or not bothers me to no end. yall should be discussing about how this is prevented best!

i'm looking for a (cheapish) hardware router that uses decent encryption for the pc->router connection. anyone?
this will increase your chances dramatically
that something you might want to consider! think about the security implications! even oe can disable html viewing!
right now, this article is pretty tasteless!
slashdot is a buisness, d00d
there's a lack of information to back this story up
u r n00bified
i suggest that you get permabanned from /. for wasting bandwith
considering the current political events, i find this story quite tasteless, to say the least
The source code is open, to allow meaningful contributions from anyone,

a fucking health care system that is connected to some outside network written by some company who wanted to put stuff like this in?

i think it's no good if a military police dude knows lots of real police people! military should be distinctly seperated from the real police!
