1.147 jason 1063: and some users even discovered so by themselves.
1.132 louis 1064: Theo also held a BoF on the Wednesday evening, after which the developers
1065: had almost too much singing in foreign languages with the help of helium.

1.132 louis 1410: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
1411: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
1412: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1413: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
1414: <br>
1415: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.132 louis 1423: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
1424: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
1425: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
1426: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
1427: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.132 louis 1433: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1434: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
1435: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
1436: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1437: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
1438: <br>
1439: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
1440: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
