1.132 louis 2030: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
2031: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers

2033: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
2034: <br>
2035: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.132 louis 2043: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
2044: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
2045: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
2046: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
2047: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

2056: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
2057: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).

2059: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
