 Unpleasant thoughts
 -------------------
 
- * We think of software development as a fundamentally benign activity. “I'm not that interesting.”
- * But attackers target a project's users through its developers
-	* See Dullien “Offensive work and addiction” (2014)
- * Known successful attacks against infrastructure used by Linux (2003), FreeBSD (2013)

-Single points of failure
-------------------------
-
- * Can that computer still remain secure if:
-	* It is networked?
-	* It is mobile or is physically accessible by others?
-	* It regularly has arbitrary USB devices connected?
-	* It must run Windows (in a VM)?
-	* It regularly runs unauthenticated HTML+JS?
-	* Several nation-states want access to it?

-	* Compromising that one computer gave access to:
-		* Hundreds of millions of other computers?
-		* Every bank account in the world?
-		* Every Windows computer in the world?
-		*Every Linux server in the world?
-	* Compromising that computer was worth:
-		* $100k USD? (Market price of remote 0day)
