That's sadly not how (cyber)security works.
The USG persecutes and imprisons journalists for exposing its war crimes, anyways I'm going to download this Tor binary from them because it says 'totally legit' on the packaging and there's no "hard evidence" to the contrary...
- rank0 5y agoDon’t those binaries come with signatures you can verify? People in the community would notice if building from source produced different signatures than the binaries provided directly by torproject
- pphysch 5y agoIn practice the USG would not distribute malevolent binaries everywhere, but could target them to particular IP- and time-ranges. Downloading Tor from a particular IP in Iran? We'll add a little something extra... Or maybe you're a US citizen with a set of known IPs on a "watchlist".
