OpenSSH Creator's Security Philosophy Draws Renewed Attention
Original: OpenSSH Ships on Every Mac, Linux Server and Windows. Its Creator Trusts No One https://zbruceli.org/blog/the-man-who-tr
A profile of the OpenSSH project and its creator is drawing attention across the tech community. OpenSSH underpins secure remote access on virtually every Mac, Linux server and Windows machine, yet is maintained with a deliberately paranoid approach: its code is written to trust no input, no system and no contributor. The piece highlights how this rigour has kept the critical open-source tool safe for decades, prompting discussion about whether other widely used software should adopt similar discipline.
Why now: Renewed interest in open-source security and the story of the person behind a tool nearly all of the internet depends on.
