  • + + Thinking about Security, Unix Review, August 2001 +
    + + Following the Code Red worm hit of ISS, Joe "Zonker" + Brockmeier takes a tour through systems administration + security and says that even secured operating systems running + Apache like OpenBSD and others have security issues from time + to time.
    + Oh well, we'll have to live with not having a total secure + system and just the most secure system. +

  • + + Homebrew Intrusion Detection Systems, SysAdmin, August 2001 +
    + + Chris Kuethe goes one step ahead of installing network + intrusion detection systems and writes on how to make the + right environment for these tools and how to put them to work + instead, for which he takes OpenBSD as the platform of his + choice:
    + "To the best of my knowledge (reproducible evidence + to the contrary is welcome) OpenBSD has the fastest IP stack + available (although all BSD-derived operating systems have + good network code) and an enviable security record. The + network monitor is unique in that it is often outside of any + network security devices and as such must be well + armored."
    + For the references, he points out that "OpenBSD has + thorough documentation; almost everything you'll ever need to + know about making your analysis station be well behaved and + stable can be found in the man pages or the FAQ." +
    + Bravo! +
