SUMMARY:You think you're not a target? A tale of three developers - Chris

DESCRIPTION:If you develop or distribute software of any kind\, you are vu
 lnerable to whole categories of attacks upon yourself or your loved ones. 
 This includes blackmail\, extortion or "just" simple malware injection. By
  targeting software developers such as yourself\, malicious actors\, inclu
 ding nefarious governments\, can infect and attack thousands — if not mi
 llions — of end users. How can we avert this? \n\nThe idea behind "repro
 ducible" builds is to allow verification that no flaws have been introduce
 d during build processes\; this prevents against the installation of backd
 oor-introducing malware on developers' machines\, ensuring attempts at ext
 ortion and other forms of subterfuge are quickly uncovered and thus ultima
 tely futile. \n\nThrough a story of three different developers\, this talk
  will engage you on this growing threat to you and how it affects everyone
  involved in the production lifecycle of software development\, as well as
  how reproducible builds can help prevent against it.
