1.12 deraadt 113: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
114: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
115: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 116: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
117: <p>
1.12 deraadt 118: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

125: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
126: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated

128: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.21 pattonme 162: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While

202: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
203: <p>
1.31 deraadt 204: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
205: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
206: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
207: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

218: implementations who were tested for interoperability. The tests were
219: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in
220: specific. We managed to communicate encrypted with every vendor present,
221: and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.
