That doesn't really make sense.
RedStar OS contains all the surveilance features North Korea could possibly want anyway [1].
Why would you need backdoors when you have a widely opened front door?
I would strongly assume that using RedStar is mandatory in NK.

- lb1lf 10y agoTrue, but if I were of a sufficiently paranoid bent, I would appreciate having a toolkit full of exploits to use as news of other surveillance features spread. Someone clever/subversive enough could feasibly create a samizdat Red Star distro which had most of the known surveillance features disabled, for instance.
