1.6 deraadt 118: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 119: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
120: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
121: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 122: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
123: <p>
1.12 deraadt 124: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

131: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
132: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
133: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
134: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.32 deraadt 143: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
144: <p>
1.6 deraadt 145: Almost 100 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates at <a

1.21 pattonme 168: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
169: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good

208: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
209: <p>
1.31 deraadt 210: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
211: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
212: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
213: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

223: <a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipsec&sektion=4&format=html>IPsec</a>
224: implementations who were tested for interoperability. The tests were
225: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in
226: specific. We managed to communicate encrypted with every vendor present,
227: and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.
