Abstract
A software repository offering a software package or a computing system downloading a software package can utilize a security tool to verify the security of the software package. The security tool can check and verify that the software package is secure utilizing a black list of components. To check the security, the security tool can compare the components (archival files) of the software package to the black list. A black list can include a list of components that are known to be insecure.
