On the other hand a reliable backdoor that also looks like sloppy code is better, as most of us are familiar with truly awful code it’s a nice layer of plausible deniability.
As the full saying goes.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity...but don’t rule out malice.
- monocasa 8y agoBy that logic we should be calling all vulnerabilities "backdoors" just in case.
- peteradio 8y agoPerhaps you should because the end result is the same, shit code sinks ships. Somebody could have written it intentionally or somebody could have been a dumbshit. Doesn't matter to me because now my computer is compromised.
- monocasa 8y agoI mean, the term 'backdoor' has a connotation of intentionality. Unless you write perfect code 100% of the time, you probably rely on the difference.
