1.2 deraadt 78: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically turned

88: Usenix Annual Technical Conference.
1.32 deraadt 89: June 15-19, 1998. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.</a></strong><p>
1.6 deraadt 90: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 91: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
92: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
93: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 94: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
95: <p>
1.12 deraadt 96: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
97: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.

1.2 deraadt 102: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
103: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
104: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
105: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
106: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.6 deraadt 112: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
113: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
114: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 115: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
116: <p>
1.6 deraadt 117: Almost 100 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates at <a

1.21 pattonme 140: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
141: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good
1.28 espie 142: opportunities to further project visibility and highlight its strengths.

151: protocol and experiences from the implementation of <strong>isakmpd</strong>,
1.25 deraadt 152: an IKE implementation funded by Ericsson Radio Systems and developed
1.32 deraadt 153: primarily for the OpenBSD IPSEC stack.

1.31 deraadt 176: Usenix donated us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,

180: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
181: <p>
1.31 deraadt 182: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
183: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
184: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
185: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

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