1.49 deraadt 75: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically

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

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

1.6 deraadt 110: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
111: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
112: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 113: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
114: <p>
1.51 deraadt 115: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.21 pattonme 138: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
139: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good

1.31 deraadt 174: Usenix donated us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,

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

195: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in

197: and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.
