OpenBSD: The most secure OS around</a>, ZDNet, November 5, 2001 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
|
|
IT columnist and former NASA and DoD network administrator and |
|
programmer Steven Vaughan-Nichols, praises the OpenBSD |
|
security audits and the team's search for potential problems |
|
and its resolution to fix them <strong>before</strong> they |
|
can develop into security holes: <em>"Unlike |
|
most operating system vendors, the OpenBSD crew is proactive |
|
rather than reactive to security problems."</em><br> |
|
Then goes on naming OpenBSD's <em>secure by default</em> |
|
policy, Kerberos authentication protocol implementation, and |
|
TCP/IP stack built-in IPSec protocol, as ready to use VPN |
|
solutions whereas they are options to be installed and applied |
|
on other operating systems.<br> |
|
Furthermore, he writes he agrees with Theo de Raadt while |
|
quoting him saying <em>"security is usually increased by |
|
removing stuff, not by adding more junk"</em> in that |
|
it's easier to keep something simple secure. |
