1.6 deraadt 85: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 86: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
87: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
88: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 89: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
90: <p>
1.12 deraadt 91: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

1.2 deraadt 97: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
98: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
99: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
100: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
101: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.6 deraadt 107: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
108: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
109: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 110: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
111: <p>
1.51 deraadt 112: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.21 pattonme 135: An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
136: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good

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