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

1.6 deraadt 91: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 92: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
93: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
94: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 95: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
96: <p>
1.12 deraadt 97: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

1.6 deraadt 113: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved

115: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 116: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
117: <p>

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

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