Compromised code in the Linux Kernel?
In this cybersecurity podcast, Professor Justin Cappos discusses his research on "confusing atoms" - small code patterns that consistently mislead programmers. His team discovered 3.6 million such patterns in major projects like Linux and Git. Speaking about the challenge of measuring security improvements, Cappos notes: "if you design a really good defensive system then a lot of times you just don't know that you prevented an attack."
