@mnoq it's also not practical for one person to fully answer your question, hence the too broad closure. You may want to read the Help Center and maybe some Meta Stack Exchange posts as well.

@mnoq The simplest thing to do is only get your source from reputable sites or even better the developers github, launchpad etc pages or download the source with apt. Is this 100% fool proof, no but is a simple way to reduce the possibility of getting something you did not want.
