771: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
772: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
773: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
774: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
775: <br>
776: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
777: at <a href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought 2.3
778: "wire-frame" OpenBSD t-shirts to the conference and sold almost
779: 200 of them. The proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.

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

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