Verification of netboot installer and firmware files

2015-09-06 Thread Daniel Reichelt
Hey there

I'm wondering if there's a practical way to verify the netboot installer files
and firmware archives provided via [1]-[3]. I couldn't find anything similar to
the signed (md5|shaX)sum files provided for the ISOs, nor any lines in the
official installation guide about verification.

Am I missing s.th.? Looking forward to suggestions!


If I'm really the first one to bring this up: IMHO the simplest solution would
be to gpg-sign the hash lists under [1]/[2] and provide signed hash lists for
[3] as well.



Thanks

Daniel

Folk are aware of this: in other threads on other mailing lists, they're 
discussing the
things needed to harden/verify repositories and downloads.

The next iteration of Apt does bring significant enhancements for some of those 
steps

http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening/RepoAndImages may also help - people are aware 
:)

Probably better to use the ISO images that include firmware, these are signed:
