Quote:

“Open source would be easier [to hack], it’s less work.”  

open source software:

  • easier to analyse for security holes, since you can see the code.

proprietary software:

  • requires either reverse engineering;
  • getting your hands on illicit copies of the source code, or
  • using a technique called “fuzzing”.
