The question is simple. I wanted to get a general consensus on if people actually audit the code that they use from FOSS or open source software or apps.

Do you blindly trust the FOSS community? I am trying to get a rough idea here. Sometimes audit the code? Only on mission critical apps? Not at all?

Let’s hear it!

    If it looks sketchy I’ll look at it and not trust the binaries. I’m not going to catch anything subtle, but if it sets up a reverse shell, I can notice that shit.
