It is a system for alerting about governments national spyware. This system tries to avoid software publishers' cooperation with some governments e.g. Ubuntu and China for spying Chinese citizens,
Problem is east
Lack of independent security audit firms in
these countries. Using vpn has some flaws.
a. using VPN like Tor
makes you a more attractive target
b. still by buying VPN
companies, governments (and therefore the participating software
publisher) can know your real country
Problem in West
With cooperation of telecom companies with
software publisher they can know if a IT company is downloading a
software or an ordinary user which cannot detect an unknown spyware.
Using VPN have 2 problem:
a. It makes you a more attractive
target specially if you use Tor
b. still by buying VPN companies,
governments (and therefore the participating software publisher) can
identity you
Technique
It will be a variant of Ubuntu that every time user
connect to new vpn or proxy, the package manager downloads the
repository index. The key is that all packages in older cache of index
should exist in new index. if checksums (and release dates) in older
index does not exist in the index that downloaded by new vpn, the
package manager alarms the user
Note: The index is incremental.
What about OS itself? The users can do above checks manually for OS
installation ISO.
Also consider a scenario if someone purchased a
device in a safer country, this package manager will detect evil
illegal deals when he travel to home country and come back.
The OS updates will not allowed to manipulate the package manager. Only OS re-install can change it.
Advantages of this Technique:
1- Easily check downloads by
various VPNs through time. (without need for paying for all of them at simultaneously.)
2- If consider paid VPN as safer tunnel you will not need to always have one. Only periodically buy a short term subscription for checking packages index honesty
3- If some governments want to do something it will became so hard (they have to buy even VPN companies with few users) and also so risky for repository owner.
I need money for cancer treatment otherwise my other ideas some listed in profile will be buried with me
