Open-source software is source code software that can be inspected, modified and improved by any person. The' source code' portion of the device, which is unknown by many people who use the machine, can be exploited by programming engineers to change the way that a part— the' function' or' application'—works. Programmers having access to the source code of a computer program will enhance the system by introducing functionalities to the software or replacing sections that do not always work properly. Open sources are different in that they are really licensed for users who can authenticate, adjust, and allocate their source code. Source Code is a vocabulary that enables the programmers of technology to create and edit software. Unfortunately, the curriculum cannot be modified or moved to any hard drive when you do not have immediate access to the malicious code. This paper reviews some trending and widely used open-source software and studies its importance.
