1.6 deraadt 109: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 110: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
111: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
112: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 113: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
114: <p>

122: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
123: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated

1.6 deraadt 131: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
132: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
133: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 134: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
135: <p>
1.51 deraadt 136: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
