1.55 deraadt 40: Many OpenBSD people from the east coast showed up and sold CDs and
41: shirts. It was pretty clear from discussions that many people were
42: very aware of OpenBSD, and that OpenBSD was being used in very

1.49 deraadt 82: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically
83: turned into a list of fixed security problems and cautionary tales about
84: subsystems in which future problems may be encountered
85: (<a href=papers/security98-slides.ps>slides available</a>).

93: Usenix Annual Technical Conference.
1.32 deraadt 94: June 15-19, 1998. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.</a></strong><p>
1.6 deraadt 95: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 96: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
97: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
98: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 99: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
100: <p>
1.12 deraadt 101: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
102: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.

1.2 deraadt 107: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
108: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
109: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
110: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
111: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.6 deraadt 117: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
118: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
119: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 120: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
121: <p>
1.51 deraadt 122: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.21 pattonme 145: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
146: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good
1.28 espie 147: opportunities to further project visibility and highlight its strengths.

1.31 deraadt 181: Usenix donated us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,

185: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
186: <p>
1.31 deraadt 187: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
188: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
189: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
190: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

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