759: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
760: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
761: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
762: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
763: <br>
764: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
765: at <a href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought 2.3
766: "wire-frame" OpenBSD t-shirts to the conference and sold almost
767: 200 of them. The proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.

772: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
773: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
774: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
775: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
776: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

784: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
785: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
786: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
787: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
788: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
789: <br>
790: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
791: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
