No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's simply unrealistic to depend on secrecy for security in computer software. You may be able to keep the exact workings of the program out of general circulation, but can you prevent the code from being reverse-engineered by serious opponents? Probably not. The secret to strong security: less reliance on secrets.
You shouldn't restrict peoples' freedom on what they can and cannot do with code.
It is only the inadequacy of the criminal code that saves the hackers from very serious prosecution.
Do not seek for information of which you cannot make use.
All of our code is open source, so it can be used for other projects.
If you entrust your data to others, they can let you down or outright betray you.
Then again, my case was all about the misappropriation of source code because I wanted to become the best hacker in the world and I enjoyed beating the security mechanisms.
Well, you can't trust most people in this game, period; it can be a very shady business.
You shouldn't use anything as the sole source for anything, in my view.
If the code does indeed have some logical foundation then it is legitimate to consider all the evidence, both good and bad, in any attempt to deduce it.
