1.49 deraadt 91: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically
92: turned into a list of fixed security problems and cautionary tales about
93: subsystems in which future problems may be encountered
94: (<a href=papers/security98-slides.ps>slides available</a>).

1.6 deraadt 104: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 105: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
106: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
107: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 108: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
109: <p>
1.12 deraadt 110: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

1.6 deraadt 126: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
127: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
128: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 129: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
130: <p>
1.51 deraadt 131: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.21 pattonme 154: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
155: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good

194: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
195: <p>
1.31 deraadt 196: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
197: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
198: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
199: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

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