Here are a few things that apparently need to be stated:
Any code that is distributed can be audited, closed or open source.
It is easier to audit open source code because, well, you have the source code.
Closed source software can still be audited using reverse engineering techniques such as static analysis (reading the disassembly) or dynamic analysis (using a debugger to walk through the assembly at runtime) or both.
Examples of vulnerabilities published by independent researchers demonstrates 2 things: people are auditing open source software for security issues and people are in fact auditing closed source software for security issues
Vulnerabilities published by independent researchers doesn’t demonstrate any of the wild claims many of you think they do.
No software of a reasonable size is 100% secure. Closed or open doesn’t matter.
A lot of bad takes in here.
Here are a few things that apparently need to be stated:
Ah yes let’s audit through reverse engineering. The same thing huh? xD
