1.55 ! deraadt 32: Many OpenBSD people from the east coast showed up and sold CDs and
! 33: shirts. It was pretty clear from discussions that many people were
! 34: very aware of OpenBSD, and that OpenBSD was being used in very
! 35: significant security roles.

1.49 deraadt 74: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically
75: turned into a list of fixed security problems and cautionary tales about
76: subsystems in which future problems may be encountered
77: (<a href=papers/security98-slides.ps>slides available</a>).

85: Usenix Annual Technical Conference.
1.32 deraadt 86: June 15-19, 1998. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.</a></strong><p>
1.6 deraadt 87: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 88: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
89: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
90: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 91: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
92: <p>
1.12 deraadt 93: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
94: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.

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

1.6 deraadt 109: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
110: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
111: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 112: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
113: <p>
1.51 deraadt 114: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.21 pattonme 137: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
138: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good
1.28 espie 139: opportunities to further project visibility and highlight its strengths.

170: More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up. By far, OpenBSD was the

172: <p>
1.31 deraadt 173: Usenix donated us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,

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

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