Risky Bulletin: Academics find source code overlaps between Geedge and China's Great Firewall
Academics presented research at USENIX showing that Geedge Networks' Tiangou Secure Gateway device shares source code with China's Great Firewall filtering system. The discovery was made through analysis of over 100,000 files leaked from Geedge's network, establishing the commercial device as one of three known components of the Great Firewall's traffic filtering infrastructure.
Why it matters: Network security practitioners and policy makers need to understand that commercial networking equipment from Chinese vendors may be integrated into state censorship and surveillance systems, affecting organizations' supply chain risk assessments and international network deployments.
