Listen "Go Open Source!"
Episode Synopsis
Whether you’re a proponent of open-source or proprietary software, there’s no doubt that the promise of open-source is exciting for many.
For one thing, it’s mostly free. It’s built and maintained by passionate developers who can easily “look under the hood”. The best part is that you’re not married to the vendor.
Yes, there are many helpful open-source security tools as well as awesome projects based on Go. But lately, there has been a controversial case of open-source ransomware. Originally created to educate others about ransomware, it’s turned into a mashup ransomware without a way to backdoor the decryption key.
In this episode, we discuss the benefits and shortcomings of open-source, a throwback to our passwords episode and more!
