I should have said your original was based on a false premise, i.e. that compiled code is somehow more secure than open source. It's not.

But you didn't, and if you had, it still would have been an apples to oranges comparison. I can download the entirety of Linux source code, for almost every version that exists, in no time in comparison to efforts to backwardly engnineer just portions of any single proprietary code product.

I'm going to guess that you aren't a programmer, and have never used a debugger or disassembler.

I'll end it here so as not to distract you from your mission.
