Yes, but the point of removing Mono is, that its malware risk is potentially bigger than usual. Linux malware is big business because the cloud is big business, and nearly all of it runs on linux. Desktop users have been fortunate only in that linux servers are the main target, targeted for OpenSSH exploits, and android devices, targeted for kernel exploits. What gets me about malware discussions in relation to linux is that too many people who ought to know better claim there is little to no chance of linux malware to the point of it having immunity, yet there is a plethora of linux malware out there. You are, of course, quite right but those of us not silly enough to do such things ought to ring the warning bells for those who would listen. Furthermore, I have no doubt that users would confirm to install mono when the malware asks them to do it, anyway. Whether you run a malicious mono application or even just a malicious shell script really makes no difference at that point, you're compromised either way. Even if there was a lot of malware compiled with mono, which I strongly doubt, the real problem is the user executing the malware in the first place. Removing mono reduces the potential attack surface area. ![]()
