1.132 louis 1396: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
1397: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
1398: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1399: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
1400: <br>
1401: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.132 louis 1403: "wire-frame" OpenBSD t-shirts to the conference and sold almost
1404: 200 of them. The proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.

1.132 louis 1409: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
1410: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
1411: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
1412: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
1413: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.132 louis 1419: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1420: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
1421: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
1422: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1423: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
1424: <br>
1425: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
1426: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
