I'm not home for a few days so I can't check yet.
But I think I have something like 3/4 packages at the most.
But I need to compare that to a 400+ list I'm not sure I agree with you it's that easy to do rigorously.
you only need to check your 3 or 4 packages to see if they were installed/updated during a certain date range.
Considering I haven't been home since the 6th of June, I assume I probably couldn't have been infected. But I will still do a thorough check when I get home next week.
Not sure I understand - if you only have 3-4 packages you can just search for them specifically in the long list?
Even if you have 50 or 100s of packages, bash makes it pretty doable
Should spit out only the packages appearing in both lists (done by memory so may not be 100%)
Do you have anything that will wipe their butt too?
