The Linux Backdoor Attempt of 2003
We still dont have a report on the kernel.org hack of 2011.<p>Many people say, calm down, its git they cant have inserted backdoors etc without messing up the git history/changelog/hashes/whatever. But what if, git was modified and backdoored previously to hide some objects/changes? How would such an attack work? Lets say you discover a problem in git, which allows you to omit changesets in its output. How would that work to backdoor the kernel?
