I'm looking for links to techniques for finding backdoors in software 
and hardware.  It's a matter of personal curiosity inspired by the 
exploding pager incident lately in the news and a call for banning 
certain software developers. An obvious question is whether use of 
open-source software is a meaningful help. Fuzzing seems an obvious 
choice, but slow. 

It's understood that a deterministic solution is impossible, but it 
would be interesting to know what approaches are practical and how 
effective they are.

Thanks for reading, and any guidance.
