>> everything you'll need you can find on their GitHub The fact remains that app installs are bundles whose base source could come from anywhere. There's no guarantee that what you install from an app store was built from their GitHub. On a non-jailbroken iOS device, you're installing a closed-source binary with no inspection possible. I believe you could build your own Android apk from their GitHib, but how many users would ever do that (let alone rebuild it on every update)? As I mentioned, I suspect that the first attack against one of the major password managers will result from a commit to the official repository (ex: GitHub). Users are not looking at every commit to GitHub before updating an iOS app to make sure that the latest version doesn't have a backdoor. At the end of the day, you must trust the app publisher with your unencrypted data within the app. Anyway, for this ssh product, I wouldn't be all that worried. Password managers though... I'm waiting for the first attack to happen, at which point I can point to my HN history to show I saw it coming. ;) |
