   Code</a>, Kurt's Closet, Security Portal, October 31, 2000
   </strong></font><br>
   
   Kurt Seifried interviews John Viega, author of the ITS4 code auditing
   system. While he acknowledges the value of OpenBSD's strictly
   expert-based auditing process, he argues that using even an imperfect
   auditing tool is better than no audit at all.

   Charles Babcock suggests that Unix and freenix OSes like Linux and
   OpenBSD are putting the squeeze on Microsoft Windows 2000's share of
   the high end server market. Not bad for a bunch of hackers who just do
   it because they love coding...

   Dean Fogarty and David O'Rourke, engineers at Stallion Technologies
   Pty Ltd in Australia, presented this paper at BSDCon.<br>
   <i>&quot;Making an Internet embedded appliance for public
   consumption is not a simple task. Choices including hardware, code
   development and user interface design must be made, each of which could
   either help or hinder a product. This paper outlines how and why
   Stallion Technologies used the Motorola ColdFire CPU and the OpenBSD
   operating system to create a successful Internet appliance.&quot;</i>

   Dissipating the smokescreen of FUD surrounding &quot;full
   disclosure&quot; is a never ending thankless task. Rik Farrow shows how
   it works by picking a particularly busy day in the life of BUGTRAQ, the
   full disclosure security mailing list. He concludes with a tip of the
   white hat to OpenBSD:<br>
   <i>"The true goal should be to write secure software in the first
   place. One Unix version, OpenBSD, gets all of its code audited for
   security bugs before it gets shipped."</i>
