Security snake oil merchants figured out a new way to make a quick buck.
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoI run around the office with scissors air gapping your cables, pay me or i shall destroy productivity to the point security is the least of your concerns. Once i get your employees to work around me, violating contract, your problems are "over".
- rswail 4y agoOf course they will, but the actual problem is there. I've been delivering systems where we had to deliver the source environment (ie what is used to build production) into escrow with a lawyer as part of the contract. It effectively required us to prove that what we delivered (both hardware and software) into escrow, would be able to reproduce what was in production, reliably and provably. Reproducible builds are really hard, especially with people encoding CVS/SVN/git tags into the build, compilers and linkers not producing equivalent results between runs (eg caches warm/cold can make a difference) etc etc. It's a real problem and a real issue.
