The only way is to learn the programming language, then check the code and compile it yourself. Of course, the other stuff on you machine (compiler, linker etc.) needs to be reviewed too, so a huge task no single person can do. > 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.

OSS has the benefit that the code is public any many people can look inside. Although, that doesn't mean that anybody will have a look. The sshd/liblzma backdoor proofed that again. The more people look at it, the better it is, but this is not always enough. -- kind regards Marco Send spam to 1727357187muell@cartoonies.org
