Like the movie "Hackers", the OpenBSD project is now 25 years old. |
| |
Though the movie played no part in our focus on security. |
| |
<p> |
| |
What a ride it's been. |
| |
<p> |
| |
My little hobby project took itself both too seriously, and not |
| |
seriously at all. Then somewhere along the way the project started |
| |
collecting many seriously skilled developers who found it a |
| |
"fertile ground" to play and experiment. (To counter that, maybe they |
| |
didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write |
| |
independent software which wasn't being adopted). |
| |
<p> |
| |
The "fertile ground" I'm talking about is our willingness to throw away |
| |
the old and replace it, or try to adopt or build security protections, |
| |
or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the |
| |
extensive network components). The OpenSSH story comes from the same |
| |
approach. |
| |
<p> |
| |
In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to |
| |
the spirit of old BSD unix. It <i>feels</i> like modernized SunOS 4.0, |
| |
trying to be highly cohesive complete system where all the parts are |
| |
supposed to work similarily, and if they don't, we consider changing them. |
| |
The ifconfig command has been extended greatly, but it remains :-) |
| |
<p> |
| |
Strangely, along the way our work started influencing the whole |
| |
software industry. The packet filter pf is included in some systems. |
| |
Our libc work is in other places. OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and |
| |
address space randomization and other hardenings are either ubiquitous |
| |
now or inching that way. Pieces of our work are in nooks and crannies |
| |
everywhere, while the cohesive whole OpenBSD continues to be developed |
| |
apace. |
| |
<p> |
| |
Another 25 years? |

This is software is free,<br> |
| |
so on the count of three,<br> |
| |
update to six dot eight!<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
Stack up too much fakes and the world breaks.<br> |
| |
Only what is open can be true.<br> |
| |
Full transparency is best for you.<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
Free functional, and secure.<br> |
| |
hacker people! hacker people!<br> |
| |
Just read the code if unsure.<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
Hack the planet,<br> |
| |
search to see what makes it tick,<br> |
| |
makes it panic<br> |
| |
This software is free, on the count of three:<br> |

update to six dot eight.<br> |

<p> |
| |
Hacker people! Hacker people!<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
What's the deal, what's still real?<br> |
| |
Ground yourself with truth.<br> |
| |
Run a software that allows you to sleuth.<br> |
| |
Only that what's open can be true.<br> |
| |
Full transparency is best for me and you.<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
Hack the planet,<br> |
| |
search to see what makes it tick,<br> |

makes it panic.<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
if I fool your time you are mine.<br> |
| |
if I hide what you should see,<br> |
| |
your routing is debris.<br> |
| |
<p> |
| |
Hack the planet,<br> |
| |
search to see what makes it tick,<br> |

| |
Together we are openbsd,<br> |
| |
everyone update to 6.8!<br> |
