Yes Gentoo Linux for ISIS: US authorities arrest an 20 year old student from Chicago for material support in ISIS.
In accordance with indictment, ο έφηβος φέρεται να δημιούργησε ένα Python script που αυτοματοποιεί την αποθήκευση multimedia του ISIS από τα επίσημα κανάλια στα Social Networks, so that members of the terrorist organization can share them on their own accounts helping to spread the propaganda.
In addition, Thomas Osadzinski, a 20 student from Chicago, also promised to develop a light distribution of Gentoo Linux for the terrorist organization.
"I will start a new and valuable project," the student wrote in one online conversation with an undercover FBI agent in March 2019.
“I will be developing a custom version of gentoo linux designed for ansar [ISIS supporters] that can run on any computer. It will be very light, fast and safe ”.
Osadzinski allegedly told his agent FBI that it will develop its own distribution of Gentoo Linux and publish the updates in an online chat room.
“It will be very secure, in sha allah and will only be released on Social. When there are fewer applications installed, the operating system is harder to crack, ”Osadzinski said.
By May, Osadzinski shared a screenshot of the Gentoo Linux distribution he developed and promised to the FBI that it would be "available soon for ansar [ISIS supporters]".
During this discussion, Osadzinski again reiterated that the operating system will be very difficult to hack by “services information of the Crusaders".
The FBI said Osadzinski had the necessary knowledge to release such a distribution, having studied computer science through DePaul.
In accordance with LinkedIn of Osadzinski, worked for two months as a software tester for BlackBerry Cylance, a cyber security startup.
If found guilty, Osadzinski faces a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
