1.59 job 27: <li>
28: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsec.4">ipsec(4)</a>:
29: Started by John Ioannidis, Angelos D. Keromytis, Niels Provos, and
30: Niklas Hallqvist, imported February 20, 1997. OpenBSD was the first
31: free operating system to provide an IPSec stack.
32: </li>
33: <li>
34: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/inet6.4">inet6(4)</a>:
35: First complete integration and adoption of IPv6 led by
36: "Itojun" (Dr. Junichiro Hagino) [WIDE/KAME], Craig Metz [NRL], and
37: Angelos D. Keromytis starting Jan 6, 1999.
38: Almost fully operational Jun 6, 1999 during the
39: <a href="hackathons.html">first OpenBSD hackathon</a>.
40: OpenBSD 2.7.
41: </li>
42: <li>
43: <strong>Privilege separation</strong>:
44: First implemented by
45: <a href="http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html">Niels Provos</a>
46: and Markus Friedl in OpenSSH in March 2002, released with OpenBSD 3.2.
47: The concept is now used in many OpenBSD programs, for example

77: etc.
78: </li>
79: <li>
80: <strong>Privilege revocation</strong>:
81: Related to the work on privilege separation, some programs were refactored
82: to drop privileges while holding onto a tricky resource such as a raw socket,
83: reserved port, or modification-locked bpf(4) descriptor,
84: for example
85: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ping.8">ping(8)</a>,
86: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/traceroute.8">traceroute(8)</a>,
87: etc.
88: </li>
89: <li>
90: <strong>Stack protector</strong>:
91: Developed since 2001 as "propolice" by Hiroaki Etoh. Integrated, and
92: implemented for additional hardware platforms, by Miod Vallat and Theo
93: de Raadt. OpenBSD 3.3 was the first operating system to enable it
94: systemwide by default.
95: </li>
96: <li>
97: <strong>W^X</strong>:
98: First used for sparc, sparc64, alpha, and hppa in OpenBSD 3.3.
99: Strictly enforced by default since OpenBSD 6.0: a program can only
100: violate it if the executable is marked with <code>PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED</code>
101: and it is located on a filesystem mounted with the <code>wxallowed</code>
102: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mount.8">mount(8)</a> option.
103: </li>
104: <li>
105: <strong>GOT and PLT protection</strong> by ld.so:
106: first done as part of the W^X work in OpenBSD 3.3, by Dale Rahn and
107: Theo de Raadt. The GOT and PLT regions are read-only outside of ld.so
108: itself. Extended to the .init/.fini sections (constructors and
109: destructors) in OpenBSD 3.4.
110: </li>
111: <li>
112: <strong>ASLR</strong>:
113: OpenBSD 3.4 was the first widely used operating system to
114: provide it by default.
115: </li>
116: <li>
117: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/gcc-local.1">gcc-local(1)</a>
118: __attribute__((__bounded__)) static analysis annotation
119: and checking mechanism:
120: Started by Anil Madhavapeddy on June 26, 2003
121: and ported to GCC 4 by Nicholas Marriott.
122: First released with OpenBSD 3.4.
123: </li>
124: <li>
125: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a>
126: randomization implemented by Thierry Deval. Guard pages and randomized (delayed) free added by Ted Unangst.
127: Reimplemented by <a href="papers/eurobsdcon2009/otto-malloc.pdf">Otto Moerbeek</a>
128: for OpenBSD 4.4.
129: </li>
130: <li>
1.65 kurt 131: <strong>Position-independent executables (PIE)</strong>:
1.59 job 132: OpenBSD 5.3 was the first widely used operating system to enable it
133: globally by default, on seven hardware platforms.
1.65 kurt 134: Implemented in November 2008 by
135: <a href="https://www.openbsd.org/papers/nycbsdcon08-pie/">Kurt Miller</a>
136: and enabled by default by
137: <a href="https://www.openbsd.org/papers/asiabsdcon2015-pie-slides.pdf">Pascal Stumpf</a>
138: in August 2012.
1.59 job 139: </li>
140: <li>
141: <strong>Random-data memory</strong>:
1.68 deraadt 142: the ability to specify that a variable should be initialized
143: at load time with random byte values (placed into a new ELF
144: <b>.openbsd.randomdata</b> section) was implemented in
145: OpenBSD 5.3 by Matthew Dempsky.
1.59 job 146: </li>
147: <li>
148: <strong>Stack protector per shared object</strong>:
149: using the random-data memory feature, each shared object was given its
150: own stack protector cookie in OpenBSD 5.3 by Matthew Dempsky.
151: </li>
152: <li>
153: <strong>Static-PIE</strong>:
154: Position-independent static binaries for /bin, /sbin and ramdisks.
1.65 kurt 155: Implemented for OpenBSD 5.7 by Kurt Miller and Mark Kettenis.
1.59 job 156: </li>
157: <li>
158: <strong>SROP</strong>
159: (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sigreturn.2">sigreturn(2)</a>
1.71 deraadt 160: oriented programming) mitigation: attacks researched by
1.59 job 161: <a href="http://www.cs.vu.nl/~herbertb/papers/srop_sp14.pdf">Eric Bosman</a>
1.71 deraadt 162: and Herbert Bos in 2014, solution implemented by Theo de Raadt in May 2016,
1.59 job 163: enabled by default since OpenBSD 6.0.
164: </li>
165: <li>
166: <strong>Library order randomization</strong>:
167: In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a>, re-link
168: <code>libc.so</code>, <code>libcrypto</code>, and <code>ld.so</code>
169: on startup, placing the objects in a random order.
170: Theo de Raadt and Robert Peichaer, May 2016,
171: enabled by default since OpenBSD 6.0 and 6.2.
172: </li>
173: <li>
174: Kernel-assisted lazy-binding for W^X safety in multi-threaded programs.
175: A new syscall <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kbind.2">kbind(2)</a>
176: permits lazy-binding to be W^X safe in multi-threaded programs.
177: Implemented for OpenBSD 5.9 by Philip Guenther in July 2015.
178: </li>
179: <li>
180: Process layouts in memory tightened to remove execute permission from
181: all segmented, non-instruction data and to remove write permission from
182: data that is only modified during loading and relocation.
183: By combining the RELRO (Read-Only after Relocation) design from the
184: GNU project with the original ASLR work from OpenBSD 3.3 and
185: strict lazy-binding work from OpenBSD 5.9, this is applied to not
186: just a subset of programs and libraries but rather to all programs
187: and libraries.
188: Implemented for OpenBSD 6.1 by Philip Guenther in August 2016.
189: </li>
190: <li>
191: Use of <strong>fork+exec in privilege separated programs</strong>. The
192: strategy is to give each process a fresh & unique address space for
193: ASLR, stack protector -- as protection against address space discovery attacks.
194: Implemented first by
195: Damien Miller (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a> 2004),
196: Claudio Jeker (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a>, 2015),
197: Eric Faurot (<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.8">smtpd(8)</a>, 2016),
198: Rafael Zalamena (various, 2016), and others.
199: </li>
200: <li>
201: <strong>trapsleds</strong>:
202: Reduction of incidental NOP instructions/sequences in the instruction
203: stream which could be useful potentially for ROP attack methods to
204: innaccurately target gadgets. These NOP sequences are converted into
205: trap sequences where possible. Todd Mortimer and Theo de Raadt, June
206: 2017.
207: </li>
208: <li>
209: <strong>Kernel relinking at boot</strong>:
210: the .o files of the kernel are relinked in random order from a
211: link-kit, before every reboot. This provides substantial interior
212: randomization in the kernel's text and data segments for layout and
213: relative branches/calls. Basically a unique address space for each
214: kernel boot, similar to the userland fork+exec model described above
215: but for the kernel. Theo de Raadt, June 2017.
216: </li>
1.61 deraadt 217: <li>
218: Rearranged i386/amd64 register allocator order in
219: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>
220: to reduce polymorphic RET instructions:
221: Todd Mortimer, November 20, 2017.
222: </li>
1.64 deraadt 223: <li>
1.72 mortimer 224: Reencoding of i386/amd64 instruction sequences to avoid
225: embedded polymorphic RET instructions. Enhancements to
226: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>
227: Todd Mortimer, April 28, 2018 and onwards.

1.66 schwarze 230: <b>MAP_STACK</b> addition to
1.64 deraadt 231: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mmap.2">mmap(2)</a>
232: allows opportunistic verification that the stack-register
233: points at stack memory, therefore catching pivots to non-stack
234: memory (sometimes used in ROP attacks).
235: Theo de Raadt, April 12, 2018.
236: </li>
1.68 deraadt 237: <li>
238: <b>RETGUARD</b> is a replacement for the <b>stack-protector</b>
1.70 deraadt 239: which uses a per-function random cookie (located in the read-only ELF
240: <b>.openbsd.randomdata</b> section) to consistency-check the
1.68 deraadt 241: return address on the stack. Implemented for AMD64 and ARM64
242: by Todd Mortimer in OpenBSD 6.4.
