761: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
762: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
763: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
764: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
765: <br>
766: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
767: at <a href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought 2.3
768: "wire-frame" OpenBSD t-shirts to the conference and sold almost
769: 200 of them. The proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.

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

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