Uit Bruce Schneier's CRYPTO-GRAM voor Oktober: """ China is getting a copy of the Windows source code. I've already written about the security risks of open-source versus proprietary software. One of the problems with open source is that the bad guys get to look at the code. One of the good things about open source is that the good guys get to look at the code, too. If I were the Chinese government, I'd turn that code upside down looking for vulnerabilities, and then not tell anyone about them. This seems like a huge security risk to me, even though Microsoft might consider it a smart business move. <http://news.com.com/2102-1016_3-5083458.html> """ Iets om over na te denken...? -- JanC Disclosure does not create security vulnerabilities; programmers create them, and they remain until other programmers find and remove them. [Bruce Schneier]
