Reverse Engineering Package Registries In The Middle Of Nowhere
Samuel Cochran

There are many different package registries in different ecosystems. We rely on them so much now that we take them for granted. But how do they work, and what’s inside? This talk explores what makes package registries tick, and how to mirror them with integrity. We'll focus on Rubygems, but touch on NPM (JavaScript/Node), Hex (Elixir), Homebrew (macOS), Ubuntu (Debian) and Fedora (RPM).
