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.

260: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
261: back to 1901. This is known as the
262: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
263: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
264: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
265: <p>
1.146 guenther 266: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
267: solve this.
268: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
269: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
270: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
271: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
272: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 273: <p>
274: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 275: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 276: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
277: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
278: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
279: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
280: <p>
281: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
282: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
283: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
284: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
285: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
286: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
287: <p>
288: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
289: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 462: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
463: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
464: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
465: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
466: under particular Linux distributions.
467: <p>
468: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
469: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
470: <p>
471: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
472: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
473: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
474: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
475: <p>
476: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
477: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
478: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
479: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
480: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
481: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
482: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
483: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1277: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1278: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1279: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1280: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1281: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1282: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1283: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1284: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1285: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1286: probably not been read by enough people.
1287: <br>
1288: <br>
1289: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1290: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1291: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1292: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1293: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1294: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1295: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1296: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1297: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1298: <br>
1299: <br>
1300: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1301: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1302: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1303: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1304: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1305: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1306: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1307: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1308: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1309: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1310: <br>
1311: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1312: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1313: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1314: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1315: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1316: <br>
1317: <br>
1318: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1319: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1320: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1321: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1322: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1323: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1324: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1325: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1326: <br>
1327: <br>
1328: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1329: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1377: <br>
1378: The case was thrown out by the judge<br>
1379: and "settled" out of court<br>
1380: And UCB was big enough<br>
1381: to take it like a sport<br>
1382: <br>
1383: And to this day the geekfolk say<br>
1384: Now did we win or lose?<br>
1385: They shoulda made 'em reprint<br>
1386: every book with proper dues<br>
1387: <br>
1388: And take out ads in major rags<br>
1389: apologetically<br>
1390: And maybe now it wouldn't be<br>
1391: the same monopoly<br>
1392: <br>
1393: The Empire might have tumbled<br>
1394: down if everybody saw<br>
1395: How greed became so big<br>
1396: they couldn't see that glaring flaw<br>
1397: <br>
1398: But only one community<br>
1399: the one that makes it tick<br>
1400: Is there to fight for everyone<br>
1401: exposing hypocrites<br>
1402: <br>
1403: And OpenBSD is here<br>
1404: to tell the story right<br>
1405: Once again the fight is fought<br>
1406: and kept in shining light<br>
1407: <br>
1408: And may the source be with you<br>
1409: May the Empire fall apart<br>
1410: Ya like that's gonna happen!<br>
1411: But we gotta keep heart!<br>

1450: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1451: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1452: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1453: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1454: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1455: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1456: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1457: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1458: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1459: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1460: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1461: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1462: <br>
1463: <br>
1464: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1465: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1466: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1467: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1468: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1469: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1470: <br>
1471: <br>
1472: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1473: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1474: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1475: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1476: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1477: influence which he could use so falsely.
1478: <br>
1479: <br>
1480: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1481: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1482: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1483: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1484: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1485: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1486: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1487: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1488: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1489: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1490: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1491: <br>
1492: <br>
1493: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1494: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1495: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1496: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1497: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1498: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1499: <br>
1500: <br>
1501: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1502: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1503: follow their own stupid rules.

1602: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1603: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1604: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1605: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1606: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1607: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1608: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1609: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1610: away from the ideals very quickly.
1611: <p>
1.93 jmc 1612: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1613: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1614: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1615: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1616: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1617: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1618: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1619: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1620: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1621: <p>
1622: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1623: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1624: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1625: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1626: led to other issues.
1627: <p>
1628: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1629: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1630: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1631: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1632: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1633: <p>
1634: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1635: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1636: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1637: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1638: projects.
1639: <p>
1640: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1641: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1642: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1643: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1644: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1645: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1646: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1647: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1648: not for their agenda.
1649: <p>
1650: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1651: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1652: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1653: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1755: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1756: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1757: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1758: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1759: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1760: device support.
1761: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1762: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1763: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1764: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1765: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1766: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1767: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1768: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1769: weird, or even buggy.
1770: <p>
1771: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1772: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1773: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1774: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1775: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1776: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1777: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices

1809: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
1810: We all know the details<br>
1811: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>

1813: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
1814: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
1815: The little guy who<br>
1816: did the best with what he had<br>

1820: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
1821: in moderation<br>
1822: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
1823: <br>
1824: <br>
1825: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
1826: never give him the password<br>
1827: If he goes penguin on you,<br>

1847: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
1848: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>

2161: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2162: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>

2330: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2331: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2332: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2333: their devices.
2334: <p>
2335: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2336: for the
1.70 steven 2337: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2338: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2339: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2340: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2341: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2342: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2343: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2344: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2345: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2346: <p>
2347: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2348: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2349: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2350: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2351: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2352: "quality" to show its head.
2353: <p>
2354: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2355: <br>
2356: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2357: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2358: <li>Repair
2359: </ul>
2360: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2361: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2362: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2363: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2364: <p>
2365: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2366: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2367: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2368: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2369: <p>
2370: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2371: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2372: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2373: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2374: <p>
2375: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2376: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2377: the AMI controllers.
2378: <p>
2379: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2380: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2381: basic RAID management:
2382: <ul>
2383: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2384: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2385: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2386: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2387: </ul>
2388: <p>
2389: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2390: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2391: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2392: <p>
2393: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2394: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2395: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2396: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2397: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2398: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2399: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2400: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2401: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2402: controllers.
2403: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2404: would not get documentation, either.
2405: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2406: look saintly.
2407: <p>
2408: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2409: in OpenBSD, please buy
2410: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2507: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2508: good device support.<br>
2509: <br>
2510: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2511: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2512: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2513: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2514: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2515: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2516: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2517: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2518: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2519: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2520: <br>
2521: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2522: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2523: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2524: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2525: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2526: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2527: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2528: <br>
2529: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2530: <br>
2531: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2532: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2533: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2534: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2535: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2536: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2537: <br>
2538:
2539: Want to help us? Avoid
2540: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2541: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2542: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2543: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2544: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2545: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by

2550: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2551: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2552: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2553: <br>

2555: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2556: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2557: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2558: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2559: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2560: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2561: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2667: What is up with some free software providers?!
2668: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2669: <p>
2670: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2671: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2672: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2673: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2674: going to remember them in the end.
2675: <p>
2676: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2677: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2678: offerings in the last few years:
2679: <ul>
2680: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2681: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2682: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2683: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2684: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2685: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2686: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2687: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2688: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2689: <p>
2690: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2691: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2692: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2693: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2694: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2695: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2696: <p>
2697: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2698: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2699: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2700: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2701: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2702: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2703: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2704: </ul>
2705: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2706: others who will follow them:
2707: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2708: replace it.

2831: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2832: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2833: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2834: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2835: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2836: <p>
2837: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2838: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2839: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2840: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2841: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2842: sessions. Our
2843: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2844: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2845: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2846: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2847: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2848: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2849: <p>
2850: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2851: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2852: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2853: Redundancy Protocol); on
2854: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2855: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2856: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2857: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2858: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2859: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2860: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2861: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2862: There was much deliberation</a>
2863: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2864: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2865: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2866: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2867: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2868: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2869: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2870: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2871: eh?
2872: <p>
2873: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2874: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2875: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2876: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2877: claim patent rights.
2878: <p>
2879: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2880: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2881: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2882: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2883: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2884: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2885: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2886: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2887: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2888: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2889: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2890: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2891: <p>
2892: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2893: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2894: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2895: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2896: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2897: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2898: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2899: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2900: like all others, except against the community.
2901: <p>
2902: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2903: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2904: <p>
2905: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2906: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2907: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2908: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2909: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2910: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2911: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2912: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2913: it to use cryptography.
2914: <p>
2915: The combination of
2916: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2917: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2918: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2919: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2920: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2921: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2922: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2923: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2924: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2925: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2926: <p>
2927: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2928: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2929: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2930: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2931: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2932: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2933: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2934: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2935: <p>
2936: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2937: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3226: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3227: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3228: forces of the draconian government!
3229: <p>
3230: <br>
3231: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3232: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3233: of recent happenings.
3234: <p>
3235: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3236: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3237: security research and development .. on things that
3238: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3239: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3240: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3241: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3242: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3243: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3244: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3245: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3246: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3247: <p>
3248: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3249: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3250: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3251: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3252: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3253: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3254: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3255: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3256: theft of oil.
3257: <p>
3258: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3259: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3260: <p>
3261: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3262: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3263: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3264: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3265: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3266: the project."
3267: <p>
3268: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3269: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3270: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3271: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3272: <p>
3273: Since the termination came near natural contract
3274: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3275: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3276: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3277: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3278: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3279: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3280: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3281: <p>
3282: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3283: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3284: of Robin Hood.
