Do you think SELinux is a NSA backdoor?

They primarily made it for themselves. Why would they want to have backdoors on their own servers?
They have more than enough possibilities as is.

Anything written in C is vulnerable by default

Ubuntu definitely is nsa and debian arguibly

>backdoor
We don't need no stinkin' backdoors. Without going off on a tinfoil tangent, I'd like to suggest that my friends at /g/ read this: https://cryptome.org/2015/03/NSA_surveillance_program.pdf
Keep in mind this was written prior to the recent presidential election and thus prior to the recent hoopla over internet privacy. The first dozen pages or so, are really all you need to read. Is what is laid out here all coincidence? Are you seeing the patterns described here, in our current situation? Try to set aside any political biases while reading this and see if you don't walk away questioning them after reading this (regardless of which side of the aisle you choose).

Can't hear you from my secure OS.

>>59887142
You, me, and the other two people, running Potato the OS. It's like arguing the software on my calculator is the best because "no botnet".

Am I the only to think he closely resembles Mark Cerny?

Why would they make something that people want nothing more than to switch off by default because it's such a pain to use?

>>59884932
SElinux is made by the NSA.
Can't trust them at all.
Do the math.

Ubuntu doesn't use SELinux.

Yes.

Red Hat biggest customer is the US government.

If you trust their technologies (systemd, SELinux, GNOME, etc) to be free of backdoors you deserve what is coming to you.

Backdoors are an antiquated concept. They can be detected and patched easily in software that more or less sits stagnant. You also need to bother yourself with the hassle of placing agents in the community to plant your exploits. Zero days are where it's at. You just need to stay ahead of the curve. When you the funds of a nation behind you, this becomes much easier.

so ubuntu is a shit distro?

good to know.

Absolutely

>>59885969
You're basically saying anything written in any language ever is vulnerable, and you'd be right. Code is vulnerable

I'm at the point where I think that security through obscurity is really the only way to go, no matter how much people like to shit all over it.

>>59884932
Whether or not one thinks is, it is.

It's the truth. If you can't find it, you can't touch it. If you can't document it's components easily, you better dedicate some serious time and effort to finding a hole in it.
