After Linus’ statement, I can’t be sure any more that Linux is free of NSA code… Sad times…
Dude, it’s common knowledge that NSA has contributed significant portions of (security related) code to the kernel. No tin foil hat required.
They also tried to put weak encryption in the kernel once.
I’m convinced that they did it under the radar.
