1.6 deraadt 113: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 114: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
115: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
116: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 117: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
118: <p>

126: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
127: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated

136: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
137: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 138: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
139: <p>
1.51 deraadt 140: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
