Canât find out the flavor on any websites. It might be a custom one and I imagine sharing the info would be more of a security risk.
It wonât be a security risk once itâs in use, IT across Germany will know within days of deployment. It will almost definitely be a modified version of some probably well known Linux.
No sense in giving an adversary info on the distro before itâs fully implemented though I imagine. (I would consider that a head-start even if they heavily modify a popular distro)
Giving the Seeđď¸Aye advanced notice wouldnât be smart, no matter how they wanted to play it.
It wonât be a security risk once itâs in use
I agree
I donât think it really matters whether a potential adversary has a âhead startâ all that much, security through obscurity doesnât work super well when itâs going to be deployed to thousands of easily accessible devices anyway. Itâd only just be a defense in depth, but even then meh. But itâs neither here nor there, theyâll do it whatever way they feel is best.
