-====== Hack the Distros ====== 
  
-===== Intro ===== 
- 
-Aim of this work is to provide information about the difficulty and methods of getting a backdoor into various Linux distributions and other FOSS operating systems like BSD. 
- 
-It is a reaction to [[http://slashdot.org/submission/1902912/leaked-memo-says-apple-provides-backdoor-to-govern|this post]] about RIM, Nokia and Apple bundling backdoor into their phone operating systems. There is also a high chance that Apple and Microsoft have backdoors in their desktop operating systems (Mac OS X and Windows). 
- 
-We would like to investigate what are the options of getting such malicious code into open-source operating systems and compare the various methods like modifying tarballs in upstream and downstream, or taking advantage of unsigned packages on the mirrors. 
- 
-===== Common attack vectors ===== 
- 
-Probably a good way how to start investigating is by the definition of common attack vectors.
