1.32 deraadt 83: June 15-19, 1998. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.</a></strong><p>
1.6 deraadt 84: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 85: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
86: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
87: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 88: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
89: <p>
1.12 deraadt 90: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
91: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.

1.2 deraadt 96: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
97: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
98: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
99: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
100: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.6 deraadt 106: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved

108: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 109: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
110: <p>
1.51 deraadt 111: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.21 pattonme 134: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
135: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good

174: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
175: <p>
1.31 deraadt 176: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
177: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
178: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
179: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

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