Operating system designed to foil hackers</a></strong></font>,
National Post, May 25, 1999</a>

Newspaper article about OpenBSD.

<a href="http://www.computerbits.com/archive/19990300/bsd.htm">
Why to BSD in a Linux world.</a></strong></font>, March, 1999<p>

Description of the OpenBSD development process, and arguments as to why
Linux probably cannot achieve the same level of security audit.
<p>

<li><font color=#009000><strong>
<a href="http://www.anzen.com/products/nfr/testing/">
NFR Performance Testing</a> report, written by
<a href="http://www.anzen.com">Anzen</a>.  February, 1999.</strong></font><p>

This report compares the network monitoring performance of the
<a href="http://www.nfr.net">NFR (Network Flight Recorder)</a> package at
handling flat-out 100Mbit ethernet monitoring, running on OpenBSD, BSDI,
Linux, and Solaris.  OpenBSD comes out as a clear winner just for raw
performance; even before you consider the superior security of OpenBSD
which you probably would want for a network-monitoring station.

<a href="http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayNew.pl?/security/990215sw.htm">
Security Watch, end of year Golden Guardian awards.</a> 
February, 1999.</strong></font><p>

"Finally, we'd be remiss in ignoring OpenBSD in any discussion of top
open-source security products. It registered high in our e-mail
survey, and we promise to take a more active look at it in future
columns."
<p>

<li><font color="#009000"><strong>
<a href="http://www.daemonnews.org/199811/security.html">
OpenBSD and IPSec, leading the pack</a>, November, 1998.
</strong></font><p>

A two-part article by Ejovi Nuwere focusing on OpenBSD's IPSec Development.
Part one is an introduction to OpenBSD's Photurisd and its current
Implementation, including a brief interview with
Photurisd creator Neils Provos.

<a href="http://www.wired.com/news/news/business/story/12035.html">

Freenix track held at Usenix in New Orleans.

<a href="http://www.wired.com/news/news/culture/story/5943.html">
Wired Magazine, Aug 11, 1997, Beyond HOPE coverage.</a></strong></font><p>

Completely bogus (but quite amusing) description of what
OpenBSD is.
<p>

<a href="http://webserver.cpg.com/reviews/r1/3.4/index.html">
SunExpert Magazine, June 1998, page 81.</a></strong></font><p>

A glowing four-page description of OpenBSD

<a href="http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayArchive.pl?/98/28/o03-28.40d.htm">
Security Watch: Monthly Editorial.</a> 
July, 1998.</strong></font><p>

Points at our <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/security.html">security page</a>
calling it "OpenBSD's mantra".
<p>

<li><font color=#009000><strong><a href="http://www.wired.com">
Wired Magazine</a>, June 1998, page 96. Paper edition only.</strong></font><p>
A half-page description of what OpenBSD is, with a cheezy picture
of project founder Theo de Raadt (watch those wired people do
photoshop jobs!).
<p>

<h4>Swedish press coverage (in swedish)</h4>

<a href="http://www.datateknik.se/arkiv/98-20/28.html">
Datateknik</a> no 20, 1998.</strong></font><p>

An article on the swedish <a href="events.html#ipsec98">IPSec interop</a> event
mentions OpenBSD as one of the successful participants, and has a
mini-interview with OpenBSD developer Niklas Hallqvist.

Datateknik</a> no 14, 1998.</strong></font><p>

Two published letters talking about OpenBSD's role in MacOS X.  The 1st
one has some misconceptions which are corrected by the 2nd which
explains the licensing issues and points to our
<a href="policy.html">copyright policy</a> page.
