20: Every 6 months the OpenBSD project has the pleasure to release
21: software on an official CDROM set, with artwork and a matching song.
1.139 deraadt 22: Theo and some other developers mutate a theme (from a classical
23: setting, a movie, or some genre) into the fishy world of Puffy, to
24: describe some advance, event or controversy the project went through
1.108 deraadt 25: over the previous six months. To match the art released with the CD,
1.139 deraadt 26: we join up with some musicians we know to make a song. Theo then gets
27: the pleasure (and responsibility) to write a commentary explaining it all.

112: No one <b>wants</b> to fork an open source project: it's a huge
113: amount of work and isn't efficient in community time, but when you
114: wake up one day and find that a hole in the SSL library you're using

116: hiding exploit mitigation countermeasures, then suddenly forking
117: seems critically important. Two months of intense development later,
118: LibreSSL was released.
119: <p>
120: The bigger questions remain for the open source development community
121: to answer: why did this occur? Why is the OpenSSL code base so hard
122: to understand? Complexity is the enemy of security, so for something
123: whose raison d'être is security, why are secondary goals allowed
124: to endanger the absolute #1 goal? Or has OpenSSL become a brand which
125: allows companies to — on the cheap — meet security
126: "requirements" like FIPS instead of actually being secure?
127: <p>
1.149 ! deraadt 128: How important is it for developers and customers to have software
1.148 deraadt 129: where security is the goal? How much are they willing to push back
130: on the OS developers and others to achieve that? Can we set a new,
131: higher bar for best practices that will drive everyone to do more
132: than just posture?

187: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
188: back to 1901. This is known as the
189: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
190: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
191: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
192: <p>
1.146 guenther 193: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
194: solve this.
195: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
196: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
197: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
198: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
199: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 200: <p>
201: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 202: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 203: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
204: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
205: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
206: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
207: <p>
208: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
209: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
210: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
211: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
212: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
213: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
214: <p>
215: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
216: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 392: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
393: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
394: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
395: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
396: under particular Linux distributions.
397: <p>
398: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
399: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
400: <p>
401: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
402: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
403: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
404: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
405: <p>
406: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
407: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
408: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
409: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
410: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
411: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
412: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
413: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1217: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1218: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1219: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1220: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1221: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1222: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1223: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1224: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1225: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1226: probably not been read by enough people.
1227: <br>
1228: <br>
1229: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1230: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1231: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1232: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1233: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1234: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1235: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1236: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1237: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1238: <br>
1239: <br>
1240: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1241: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1242: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1243: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1244: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1245: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1246: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1247: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1248: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1249: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1250: <br>
1251: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1252: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1253: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1254: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1255: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1256: <br>
1257: <br>
1258: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1259: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1260: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1261: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1262: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1263: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1264: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1265: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1266: <br>
1267: <br>
1268: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1269: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1322: <br>

1391: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1392: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1393: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1394: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1395: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1396: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1397: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1398: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1399: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1400: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1401: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1402: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1403: <br>
1404: <br>
1405: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1406: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1407: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1408: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1409: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1410: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1411: <br>
1412: <br>
1413: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1414: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1415: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1416: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1417: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1418: influence which he could use so falsely.
1419: <br>
1420: <br>
1421: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1422: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1423: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1424: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1425: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1426: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1427: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1428: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1429: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1430: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1431: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1432: <br>
1433: <br>
1434: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1435: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1436: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1437: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1438: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1439: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1440: <br>
1441: <br>
1442: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1443: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1444: follow their own stupid rules.

1544: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1545: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1546: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1547: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1548: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1549: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1550: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1551: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1552: away from the ideals very quickly.
1553: <p>
1.93 jmc 1554: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1555: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1556: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1557: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1558: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1559: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1560: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1561: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1562: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1563: <p>
1564: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1565: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1566: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1567: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1568: led to other issues.
1569: <p>
1570: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1571: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1572: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1573: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1574: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1575: <p>
1576: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1577: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1578: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1579: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1580: projects.
1581: <p>
1582: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1583: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1584: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1585: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1586: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1587: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1588: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1589: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1590: not for their agenda.
1591: <p>
1592: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1593: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1594: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1595: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1698: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1699: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1700: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1701: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1702: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1703: device support.
1704: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1705: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1706: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1707: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1708: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1709: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1710: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1711: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1712: weird, or even buggy.
1713: <p>
1714: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1715: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1716: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1717: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1718: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1719: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1720: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1721: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1722: OpenBSD, either).
1723: <p>
1724: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1725: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1726: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1727: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
1728: 20 years building

1.82 jsg 1732: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1733: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1734: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux

2093: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2094: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2095: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2096: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2097: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2098: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2099: <br>
2100: <br>

2102: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2103: <br>
2104: <br>
2105: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2106: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2107: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2108: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2109: <br>
2110: <br>
2111: <ul>
2112: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2113: at any time.<br>
2114: <br>
2115: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>

2131: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2132: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2133: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2134: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2135: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
2136: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2277: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2278: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2279: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2280: their devices.
2281: <p>
2282: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2283: for the
1.70 steven 2284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2285: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2286: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2287: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2288: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2289: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2290: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2291: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2292: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2293: <p>
2294: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2295: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2296: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2297: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2298: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2299: "quality" to show its head.
2300: <p>
2301: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2302: <br>
2303: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2304: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2305: <li>Repair
2306: </ul>
2307: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2308: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2309: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2310: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2311: <p>
2312: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2313: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2314: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2315: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2316: <p>
2317: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2318: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2319: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2320: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2321: <p>
2322: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2323: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2324: the AMI controllers.
2325: <p>
2326: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2327: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2328: basic RAID management:
2329: <ul>
2330: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2331: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2332: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2333: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2334: </ul>
2335: <p>
2336: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2337: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2338: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2339: <p>
2340: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2341: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2342: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2343: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2344: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2345: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2346: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2347: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2348: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2349: controllers.
2350: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2351: would not get documentation, either.
2352: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2353: look saintly.
2354: <p>
2355: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2356: in OpenBSD, please buy
2357: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2455: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2456: good device support.<br>
2457: <br>
2458: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2459: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2460: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2461: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2462: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2463: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2464: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2465: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2466: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2467: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2468: <br>
2469: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2470: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2471: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2472: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2473: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2474: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2475: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2476: <br>
2477: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2478: <br>
2479: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2480: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2481: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2482: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2483: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2484: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2485: <br>
2486:
2487: Want to help us? Avoid
2488: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2489: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2490: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2491: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2492: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2493: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 2494: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
2495: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

2498: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2499: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2500: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2501: <br>
2502: <br>
2503: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2504: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2505: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2506: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2507: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2508: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2509: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2631: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2632: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that

1.41 deraadt 2637: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2638: <p>

2641: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2642: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2643: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2644: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2645: <p>
2646: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2647: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2648: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2649: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2650: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2651: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2652: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2653: </ul>
2654: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2655: others who will follow them:
2656: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2657: replace it.

2781: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2782: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2783: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2784: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2785: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2786: <p>
2787: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2788: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2789: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2790: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2791: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2792: sessions. Our
2793: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2794: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2795: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2796: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2797: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2798: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2799: <p>
2800: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2801: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2802: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2803: Redundancy Protocol); on
2804: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2805: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2806: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2807: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2808: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2809: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2810: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2811: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2812: There was much deliberation</a>
2813: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2814: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2815: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2816: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2817: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2818: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2819: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2820: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2821: eh?
2822: <p>
2823: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2824: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2825: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2826: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2827: claim patent rights.
2828: <p>
2829: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2830: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2831: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2832: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2833: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2834: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2835: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2836: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2837: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2838: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2839: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2840: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2841: <p>
2842: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2843: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2844: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2845: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2846: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2847: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2848: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2849: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2850: like all others, except against the community.
2851: <p>
2852: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2853: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2854: <p>
2855: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2856: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2857: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2858: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2859: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2860: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2861: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2862: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2863: it to use cryptography.
2864: <p>
2865: The combination of
2866: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2867: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2868: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2869: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2870: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2871: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2872: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2873: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2874: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2875: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2876: <p>
2877: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2878: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2879: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2880: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2881: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2882: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2883: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2884: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2885: <p>
2886: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2887: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3177: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3178: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3179: forces of the draconian government!
3180: <p>
3181: <br>
3182: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3183: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3184: of recent happenings.
3185: <p>
3186: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3187: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3188: security research and development .. on things that
3189: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3190: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3191: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3192: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3193: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3194: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3195: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3196: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3197: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3198: <p>
3199: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3200: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3201: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3202: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3203: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3204: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3205: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3206: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3207: theft of oil.
3208: <p>
3209: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3210: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3211: <p>
3212: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3213: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3214: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3215: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3216: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3217: the project."
3218: <p>
3219: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3220: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3221: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3222: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3223: <p>
3224: Since the termination came near natural contract
3225: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3226: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3227: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3228: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3229: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3230: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3231: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3232: <p>
3233: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3234: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3235: of Robin Hood.
