1.59 job 29: <li>
30: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsec.4">ipsec(4)</a>:
31: Started by John Ioannidis, Angelos D. Keromytis, Niels Provos, and
32: Niklas Hallqvist, imported February 20, 1997. OpenBSD was the first
33: free operating system to provide an IPSec stack.
34: </li>
35: <li>
36: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/inet6.4">inet6(4)</a>:
37: First complete integration and adoption of IPv6 led by
38: "Itojun" (Dr. Junichiro Hagino) [WIDE/KAME], Craig Metz [NRL], and
39: Angelos D. Keromytis starting Jan 6, 1999.
40: Almost fully operational Jun 6, 1999 during the
41: <a href="hackathons.html">first OpenBSD hackathon</a>.
42: OpenBSD 2.7.
43: </li>
44: <li>
45: <strong>Privilege separation</strong>:
46: First implemented by
47: <a href="http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html">Niels Provos</a>
48: and Markus Friedl in OpenSSH in March 2002, released with OpenBSD 3.2.

79: etc.
80: </li>
81: <li>
82: <strong>Privilege revocation</strong>:
83: Related to the work on privilege separation, some programs were refactored
84: to drop privileges while holding onto a tricky resource such as a raw socket,
85: reserved port, or modification-locked bpf(4) descriptor,
86: for example
87: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ping.8">ping(8)</a>,
88: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/traceroute.8">traceroute(8)</a>,
89: etc.
90: </li>
91: <li>
92: <strong>Stack protector</strong>:
93: Developed since 2001 as "propolice" by Hiroaki Etoh. Integrated, and
94: implemented for additional hardware platforms, by Miod Vallat and Theo
95: de Raadt. OpenBSD 3.3 was the first operating system to enable it
96: systemwide by default.
97: </li>
98: <li>
99: <strong>W^X</strong>:
100: First used for sparc, sparc64, alpha, and hppa in OpenBSD 3.3.
101: Strictly enforced by default since OpenBSD 6.0: a program can only
102: violate it if the executable is marked with <code>PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED</code>
103: and it is located on a filesystem mounted with the <code>wxallowed</code>
104: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mount.8">mount(8)</a> option.
105: </li>
106: <li>
107: <strong>GOT and PLT protection</strong> by ld.so:
108: first done as part of the W^X work in OpenBSD 3.3, by Dale Rahn and
109: Theo de Raadt. The GOT and PLT regions are read-only outside of ld.so
110: itself. Extended to the .init/.fini sections (constructors and
111: destructors) in OpenBSD 3.4.
112: </li>
113: <li>
114: <strong>ASLR</strong>:
115: OpenBSD 3.4 was the first widely used operating system to
116: provide it by default.
117: </li>
118: <li>
119: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/gcc-local.1">gcc-local(1)</a>
120: __attribute__((__bounded__)) static analysis annotation
121: and checking mechanism:
122: Started by Anil Madhavapeddy on June 26, 2003
123: and ported to GCC 4 by Nicholas Marriott.
124: First released with OpenBSD 3.4.
125: </li>
126: <li>
127: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a>
128: randomization implemented by Thierry Deval. Guard pages and randomized (delayed) free added by Ted Unangst.
129: Reimplemented by <a href="papers/eurobsdcon2009/otto-malloc.pdf">Otto Moerbeek</a>
130: for OpenBSD 4.4.
131: </li>
132: <li>
133: <strong>PIE</strong>:
134: OpenBSD 5.3 was the first widely used operating system to enable it
135: globally by default, on seven hardware platforms.
136: </li>
137: <li>
138: <strong>Random-data memory</strong>:
139: the ability to specify that a variable should be initialized at load
140: time with random byte values was implemented in OpenBSD 5.3 by Matthew
141: Dempsky.
142: </li>
143: <li>
144: <strong>Stack protector per shared object</strong>:
145: using the random-data memory feature, each shared object was given its
146: own stack protector cookie in OpenBSD 5.3 by Matthew Dempsky.
147: </li>
148: <li>
149: <strong>Static-PIE</strong>:
150: Position-independent static binaries for /bin, /sbin and ramdisks.
151: First released with OpenBSD 5.7.
152: </li>
153: <li>
154: <strong>SROP</strong>
155: (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sigreturn.2">sigreturn(2)</a>
156: oriented programming) mitigation: Researched by
157: <a href="http://www.cs.vu.nl/~herbertb/papers/srop_sp14.pdf">Eric Bosman</a>
158: and Herbert Bos in 2014, implemented by Theo de Raadt in May 2016,
159: enabled by default since OpenBSD 6.0.
160: </li>
161: <li>
162: <strong>Library order randomization</strong>:
163: In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a>, re-link
164: <code>libc.so</code>, <code>libcrypto</code>, and <code>ld.so</code>
165: on startup, placing the objects in a random order.
166: Theo de Raadt and Robert Peichaer, May 2016,
167: enabled by default since OpenBSD 6.0 and 6.2.
168: </li>
169: <li>
170: Kernel-assisted lazy-binding for W^X safety in multi-threaded programs.
171: A new syscall <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kbind.2">kbind(2)</a>
172: permits lazy-binding to be W^X safe in multi-threaded programs.
173: Implemented for OpenBSD 5.9 by Philip Guenther in July 2015.
174: </li>
175: <li>
176: Process layouts in memory tightened to remove execute permission from
177: all segmented, non-instruction data and to remove write permission from
178: data that is only modified during loading and relocation.
179: By combining the RELRO (Read-Only after Relocation) design from the
180: GNU project with the original ASLR work from OpenBSD 3.3 and
181: strict lazy-binding work from OpenBSD 5.9, this is applied to not
182: just a subset of programs and libraries but rather to all programs
183: and libraries.
184: Implemented for OpenBSD 6.1 by Philip Guenther in August 2016.
185: </li>
186: <li>
187: Use of <strong>fork+exec in privilege separated programs</strong>. The
188: strategy is to give each process a fresh & unique address space for
189: ASLR, stack protector -- as protection against address space discovery attacks.
190: Implemented first by
191: Damien Miller (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a> 2004),
192: Claudio Jeker (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a>, 2015),
193: Eric Faurot (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.8">smtpd(8)</a>, 2016),
194: Rafael Zalamena (various, 2016), and others.
195: </li>
196: <li>
197: <strong>trapsleds</strong>:
198: Reduction of incidental NOP instructions/sequences in the instruction
199: stream which could be useful potentially for ROP attack methods to
200: innaccurately target gadgets. These NOP sequences are converted into
201: trap sequences where possible. Todd Mortimer and Theo de Raadt, June
202: 2017.
203: </li>
204: <li>
205: <strong>Kernel relinking at boot</strong>:
206: the .o files of the kernel are relinked in random order from a
207: link-kit, before every reboot. This provides substantial interior
208: randomization in the kernel's text and data segments for layout and
209: relative branches/calls. Basically a unique address space for each
210: kernel boot, similar to the userland fork+exec model described above
211: but for the kernel. Theo de Raadt, June 2017.
212: </li>
1.61 deraadt 213: <li>
214: Rearranged i386/amd64 register allocator order in
215: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>
216: to reduce polymorphic RET instructions:
