NSA Asked Linus Torvalds To Give Them Backdoor Access In Linux, Says MEP
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Linus and OMG! Back in 2011*
|
||||
|
||||
The United States’ National Security Agency ([**NSA**][1]) are alleged to have asked the creator of Linux, Linus Torvalds, to create ‘backdoors’ into GNU/Linux through which they could access.
|
||||
|
||||
Far from being a rumour, word of the approach comes via Linus’ father, Nils Torvalds.
|
||||
|
||||
As a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Nils was present at recent committee inquiry held on the “Mass Surveillance of EU Citizens”. Here, representatives from a number of companies named in documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden were questioned about their own (alleged) involvement.
|
||||
|
||||
Following a question put to a Microsoft spokeswoman by Pirate Party MEP Christian Engström on whether the company willingly include “backdoors” for the NSA in their system, Nils Torvalds MEP [said][2]:
|
||||
|
||||
> When my oldest son [Linus Torvalds] was asked the same question: “Has he been approached by the NSA about backdoors?” he said “No”, but at the same time he nodded. Then he was sort of in the legal free. He had given the right answer …everybody understood that the NSA had approached him.
|
||||
|
||||
If that sounds familiar to you then you might have [seen the snippet on YouTube][3]. Linus went on to insist that he was joking, and that [the NSA had not approached him][4].
|
||||
|
||||
**But, speaking at November 11th’s inquiry, his father seems to think otherwise. **
|
||||
|
||||
Following on from allegations that Google, [Yahoo!][5], Facebook [and, indeed, Microsoft][6] are among the many companies wilfully cooperating with the agency to provide “backdoor” access to their systems, this revelation is far from earth-shattering. In fact, is makes sense in the grand scheme of things. After all, why wouldn’t the NSA ask Linus to do this?
|
||||
|
||||
While Nils doesn’t explain how Linus responded – I’d like to think it involved two fingers – we can be sure that it, at the very least, involved an explanation of how open source prevents something like that being possible.
|
||||
|
||||
If any holes were left around for the NSA’s overly-long tentacles to creep into, you can bet your bottom dollar that they’d have been found, exposed and rooted out long before now.

欧洲议会：NSA曾要求Linus Torvalds给予他们在Linux中植入后门的权限
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*照片中为大神Linus(左)和Benjamin Humphrey（译者注：该小伙儿为本文原文出处‘OMG！Ubuntu！’的联合创始人之一，现已离开OMGUbuntu）！照片摄于2011年*
|
||||
|
||||
美国国家安全局（[**NSA**][1]）宣称，他们曾经要求Linux的创始人，Linus Torvalds，在GNU/Linux中建立一个他们可以访问的“后门”。
|
||||
|
||||
这绝非谣言，Linus的父亲，Nils Torvalds如此说道。
|
||||
|
||||
作为欧洲议会（MEP）的成员之一，Nils出席了最近关于“欧盟公民监视问题”的委员会质询会议。根据爱德华·斯诺登泄露出的一些NSA文档，委员会对文档中列出的一些公司代表就所谓的“合作”进行了质询。
|
||||
|
||||
同属欧洲议会成员的瑞典盗版党主席Christian Engström就质问微软的发言人，其公司是否曾主动为NSA在他们的系统中植入过“后门”，（译者注：盗版党是一个以废除专利制度、维护公民隐私为宗旨的民间自发政党，最先在瑞典出现，传送门→[盗版党百度百科](http://baike.baidu.com/view/1104760.htm)）。之后，Nils Torvalds[说道][2]：
|
||||
|
||||
> 我的长子[Linus Torvalds]也被问到了同样的问题 —— “NSA是否曾要求他植入后门？”，当时他嘴里回答“No”，但同时却在点头。我的儿子是自由主义者，他已经给出了正确的回答…… 每个人都明白，NSA的确曾要求他这么干过！
|
||||
|
||||
如果这段描述让你觉着耳熟，你可以[看下Youtube上关于这一段的视频片段][3]。后来Linus坚称他当时只是开玩笑，[NSA并没有为此找过他][4]。
|
||||
|
||||
**但是，根据11月11号质询会议上的发言看来，他的父亲并不这么想。**
|
||||
|
||||
根据文档，Google、[Yahoo!][5]、Facebook以及 —— [的确还有微软][6]，都在NSA要求提供“后门”的合作公司之列，仅这一发现，就足以震惊全世界。事实上，这些还只是冰山一角。因此，凭什么说NSA不会要求Linus也这么做呢？
|
||||
|
||||
Nils并没有说Linus具体是如何回应的 —— 但我估计，这说明了两个问题，首先我们至少可以肯定的一点是，开源世界一直在努力防范类似事情成为可能；
|
||||
|
||||
其次，如果真的有某些漏洞存在，NSA长长的触手早就已经把你的压箱底私房钱翻个底儿掉了。
