If you can read codes then you’ll be able to read through to see if there’s any back door, but if you’re not you could take them to someone who can and if they confirm that it’s safe then you can proceed to compiling them yourself if you don’t trust the app that was uploaded or if you’re skeptical about using the software since they can use a different code for it.
I don’t know if it’s practical but you could watch a few tutorials on how to work your way through compiling the files depending on the language to an .exe file. I have never tried it myself but it’s never bad to learn something new.
Topic: How Do I Verify the Integrity of Open-Source Code - page 2. (Read 249 times)
Is there anyway that I can verify the integrity of open-source code and ensure that the code running on your device matches the published code?
Use the forum to help you verify it. There’s a lot of good developer here on the technical board that can help you verify the code.
There’s no way to verify it if you didn’t know how to read a code since you will need to determine how it was coded to verify if the code use is safe for user safety. I was wondering if there’s a specifi code line that a non-developer can use a reference to watch out if the code is safe or not.
If you are not a developer, you can not know it, only developers can be able to completely know if a code is completely open source or not. For wallets, you can ask on this forum.

If you are a developer, the open source wallets leave their code public on GitHub.

The general advice is the a Bitcoin tool such as a wallet is okay to use if it is open-source. Aside this there are crypto companies that post their open source code online. I consider my self a skeptic to a degree and I know that there is always the possibility that these companies could post the open source code online but run a different code on your device. There's also another possibility that it could be tampered with during transit.Is there anyway that I can verify the integrity of open-source code and ensure that the code running on your device matches the published code?
