1.212 deraadt 183: In OpenBSD developer circles few memes carry as strongly as "The 3
184: line diff". This is a humorous warning, but also a true story. More
185: than half the developers ("the new kids") don't know this story but
1.214 bentley 186: still repeat the meme — it has nearly become apocrypha.
1.212 deraadt 187: <p>
188: Unfortunately, in software development not all problems are as trivial
189: as we think.
190: <p>
191: The event happened at a hackathon in Portugal more than a decade ago.
192: <p>
193: In a eureka moment Art declared he had found a stunningly simple
1.214 bentley 194: solution for a problem long pondered, and he could fix it in 2 — no
195: — 3 lines. In the following weeks his change grew larger and larger,
1.212 deraadt 196: introducing (or exposing) other problems. We stood and stared. It
197: was far from a 3 line diff, and was eventually discarded.
198: <p>
1.215 fcambus 199: I am not writing words of mockery here. This is a common occurrence in
1.212 deraadt 200: complex software development. To do great things, we must reach for
201: the sky. Sometimes we fail, and quite often it is messy.
202: <p>
203: There is of course a danger we'll believe we are invincible, and push
204: a change which is too disruptive to others. For that reason, we
205: operate as a team. We can try to avoid hubris.
206: <p>
207: Therefore to this day posing a question like "And you can fix the
208: problem in 3 lines?" is a humorous way of keeping each other honest.

219: And he was mighty sure<br>

1.216 bentley 222: <p>
1.212 deraadt 223: The coding started getting tough,<br>
224: The change began to swell,<br>
225: Despite the confidence of the programmers<br>
226: The system would then crash,<br>
227: the system always crashed.<br>
1.216 bentley 228: <p>
1.212 deraadt 229: The simple change became complex<br>

284: <p>
1.202 deraadt 285: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
286: we realized that read-only repository access
287: for everyone was a critical concept.
288: <p>
289: Previously, open source projects would make
290: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
291: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
292: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
293: development process. Unwittingly all open source
294: projects were operating with a walled garden
295: approach.
296: <p>
297: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
298: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
299: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
300: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
301: to deliver. Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
302: <p>
303: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
304: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
305: committed diff. They could reason about the past as
306: they proposed new changes.
307: <p>
308: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
309: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs. These
310: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
311: sufficient context to reason upon. Those who overwhelmed us
312: with good changes became developers with commit access. We
313: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
314: <p>
315: Some people said we would never last. Their cynicism
316: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
317: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
318: to embrace it also.

662: sometimes it's a bit of a chore. Theo bugs me to help him out, often
663: with a theme, and eventually I relent and devote an evening to it.
664: <p>
665: One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
666: software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
667: OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
668: to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
669: others to follow our lead.
670: <p>
671: We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
672: individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
673: ports developers. We've had less success promoting things up through
674: standards bodies and other projects. Too often the world seems caught
675: up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
1.215 fcambus 676: exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate representation
1.188 deraadt 677: that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
678: cause expense.
679: <p>
680: This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
681: long. I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
682: standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being

1182: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
1183: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The

1.214 bentley 1185: many times in OpenBSD — a decision is made by a few people to do

1302: No one <em>wants</em> to fork an open source project: it's a huge
1.148 deraadt 1303: amount of work and isn't efficient in community time, but when you
1304: wake up one day and find that a hole in the SSL library you're using
1305: made world-wide news, and that the library's bad code style is
1306: hiding exploit mitigation countermeasures, then suddenly forking
1307: seems critically important. Two months of intense development later,
1308: LibreSSL was released.
1309: <p>
1310: The bigger questions remain for the open source development community
1311: to answer: why did this occur? Why is the OpenSSL code base so hard
1312: to understand? Complexity is the enemy of security, so for something
1313: whose raison d'être is security, why are secondary goals allowed
1314: to endanger the absolute #1 goal? Or has OpenSSL become a brand which
1315: allows companies to — on the cheap — meet security
1316: "requirements" like FIPS instead of actually being secure?
1317: <p>
1.149 deraadt 1318: How important is it for developers and customers to have software
1.148 deraadt 1319: where security is the goal? How much are they willing to push back
1320: on the OS developers and others to achieve that? Can we set a new,
1321: higher bar for best practices that will drive everyone to do more
1322: than just posture?

1.144 deraadt 1382: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
1383: back to 1901. This is known as the
1384: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
1385: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
1386: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
1387: <p>
1.146 guenther 1388: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 1389: solve this.
1.146 guenther 1390: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
1391: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
1392: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
1393: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
1394: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 1395: <p>
1396: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 1397: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1398: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1399: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1400: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1401: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1402: <p>
1403: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1404: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1405: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1406: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1407: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1408: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1409: <p>
1410: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1411: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 1579: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
1580: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
1581: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
1582: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
1583: under particular Linux distributions.
1584: <p>
1585: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
1586: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
1587: <p>
1588: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
1589: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 1590: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
1591: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 1592: <p>
1593: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
1594: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1595: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
1596: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
1597: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
1598: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
1599: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 1600: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1.104 deraadt 2354: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
2355: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 2356: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 2357: We recommend you read his story, entitled
2358: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
2359: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
2360: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
2361: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
2362: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
2363: probably not been read by enough people.
1.216 bentley 2364: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2365: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
2366: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
2367: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1.214 bentley 2368: of corporate pollution — and release it freely — is more interesting
1.104 deraadt 2369: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2370: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2371: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2372: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214 bentley 2373: lots of really evil lawyers back then too — were they not afraid?
1.216 bentley 2374: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2375: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2376: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2377: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2378: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2379: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2380: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2381: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2382: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214 bentley 2383: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor — people like
1.104 deraadt 2384: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1.216 bentley 2385: <p>
1.105 deraadt 2386: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2387: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214 bentley 2388: was given to the world in June 1991 — the largest dump of free source
2389: code the world had ever received (for those days — not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.216 bentley 2390: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2391: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2392: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2393: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2394: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2395: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2396: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2397: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2398: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.216 bentley 2399: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2400: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2401: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1.95 deraadt 2515: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2516: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2517: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2518: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2519: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2520: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2521: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2522: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2523: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2524: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1.216 bentley 2525: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by,
1.95 deraadt 2526: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1.216 bentley 2527: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2528: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2529: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2530: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2531: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1.214 bentley 2532: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him — and him
2533: alone — and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1.216 bentley 2534: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2535: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2536: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2537: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2538: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2539: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful

2543: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2544: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2545: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2546: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2547: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2548: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2549: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched

1.90 deraadt 2658: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2659: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.214 bentley 2660: remained unchanged over the years — secure, free, reliable software,
1.90 deraadt 2661: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2662: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2663: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2664: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2665: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2666: away from the ideals very quickly.
2667: <p>
1.93 jmc 2668: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2669: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2670: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2671: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2672: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2673: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2674: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2675: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2676: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2677: <p>
2678: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2679: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2680: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2681: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2682: led to other issues.
2683: <p>
2684: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2685: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2686: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2687: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2688: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2689: <p>
2690: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1.214 bentley 2691: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit — it remains a core goal;
1.90 deraadt 2692: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1.214 bentley 2693: from projects who talk about sharing — such as the various Linux
1.90 deraadt 2694: projects.
2695: <p>
2696: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2697: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2698: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2699: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2700: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2701: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214 bentley 2702: — they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90 deraadt 2703: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2704: not for their agenda.
2705: <p>
2706: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2707: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2708: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2709: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2807: <p>
1.81 deraadt 2808: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2809: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2810: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2811: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2812: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2813: device support.
2814: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2815: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2816: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2817: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2818: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2819: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2820: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2821: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2822: weird, or even buggy.
2823: <p>
2824: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2825: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2826: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2827: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2828: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2829: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2830: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2831: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2832: OpenBSD, either).
2833: <p>
2834: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2835: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2836: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2837: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2838: 20 years building
1.83 wvdputte 2839: <a href="papers/brhard2007/mgp00024.html">
1.81 deraadt 2840: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2841: <p>
1.82 jsg 2842: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2843: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2844: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux

1.63 deraadt 3181: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3182: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3183: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3184: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3185: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1.216 bentley 3186: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.
3187: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3188: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
1.216 bentley 3189: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.
3190: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3191: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3192: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3193: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1.216 bentley 3194: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.
1.63 deraadt 3195: <ul>
1.216 bentley 3196: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors at any time.
3197: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.
3198: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.
3199: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.
3200: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.
3201: <li>Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus less portable.
3202: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.

1.216 bentley 3204: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3205: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
3206: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
3207: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3208: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3209: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 3210: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

3359: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3360: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3361: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3362: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3363: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3364: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3365: <p>
3366: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3367: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3368: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3369: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214 bentley 3370: development model — it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58 deraadt 3371: "quality" to show its head.
3372: <p>
3373: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3374: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3375: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3376: <li>Repair
3377: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3378: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3379: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3380: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3381: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3382: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3383: <p>
3384: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3385: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3386: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3387: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3388: <p>
3389: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3390: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3391: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3392: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3393: <p>
3394: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3395: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3396: the AMI controllers.
3397: <p>
3398: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3399: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3400: basic RAID management:
3401: <ul>
3402: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3403: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3404: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3405: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3406: </ul>
3407: <p>
3408: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3409: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3410: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3411: <p>
3412: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3413: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3414: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3415: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3416: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3417: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3418: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3419: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3420: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3421: controllers.
3422: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3423: would not get documentation, either.
3424: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3425: look saintly.
3426: <p>
3427: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3428: in OpenBSD, please buy
1.216 bentley 3429: LSI/AMI RAID cards. And everything

3536: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3537: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1.216 bentley 3538: good device support.
3539: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3540: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3541: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3542: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3543: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3544: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3545: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3546: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3547: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3548: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216 bentley 3549: solved in the ethernet market.
3550: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3551: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3552: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3553: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3554: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3555: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3556: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1.216 bentley 3557: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.
3558: <p>
3559: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.
3560: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3561: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3562: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3563: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3564: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3565: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1.216 bentley 3566: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.
3567: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3568: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3569: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3570: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3571: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3572: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3573: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3574: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.204 tb 3575: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
3576: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

3578: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=awi">ADMTek</a>,
3579: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3580: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3581: which chipsets into which product.
1.216 bentley 3582: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3583: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3584: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3585: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3586: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3587: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3588: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3589: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 3590: development information for all, but are even going further and
3591: telling their development communities to not work with us at

1.37 deraadt 3694: What is up with some free software providers?!
3695: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3696: <p>
3697: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3698: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3699: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3700: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3701: going to remember them in the end.
3702: <p>
3703: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3704: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3705: offerings in the last few years:
3706: <ul>
3707: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3708: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3709: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3710: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3711: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3712: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3713: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3714: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3715: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3716: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3717: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3718: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3719: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3720: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3721: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3722: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3723: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3724: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3725: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3726: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3727: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3728: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3729: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3730: <p>
1.37 deraadt 3731: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3732: others who will follow them:
3733: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3734: replace it.

1.30 deraadt 3854: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3855: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3856: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3857: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3858: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3859: <p>
3860: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.204 tb 3861: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3862: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3863: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3864: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3865: sessions. Our
1.204 tb 3866: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3867: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3868: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3869: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3870: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3871: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3872: <p>
3873: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3874: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3875: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3876: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 3877: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 3878: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3879: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3880: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3881: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3882: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3883: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3884: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3885: There was much deliberation</a>
3886: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3887: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1.214 bentley 3888: standards — as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1.30 deraadt 3889: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3890: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3891: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3892: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3893: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3894: eh?
3895: <p>
3896: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3897: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3898: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1.214 bentley 3899: — a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1.30 deraadt 3900: claim patent rights.
3901: <p>
3902: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3903: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1.214 bentley 3904: its patents for VRRP implementations — meaning basically that it was
1.30 deraadt 3905: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3906: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3907: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3908: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3909: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3910: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3911: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3912: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3913: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3914: <p>
3915: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3916: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3917: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3918: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1.214 bentley 3919: avoid it — the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3920: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3921: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3922: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3923: like all others, except against the community.
3924: <p>
3925: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3926: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3927: <p>
3928: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3929: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3930: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3931: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3932: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3933: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3934: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3935: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3936: it to use cryptography.
3937: <p>
3938: The combination of
1.204 tb 3939: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3940: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3941: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3942: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3943: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3944: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3945: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3946: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3947: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3948: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3949: <p>
3950: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3951: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3952: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3953: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3954: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3955: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3956: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3957: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3958: <p>
3959: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3960: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.20 deraadt 4248: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 4249: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 4250: forces of the draconian government!
4251: <p>
4252: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4253: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4254: of recent happenings.
4255: <p>
4256: Two years ago we became involved with the University
4257: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
4258: security research and development .. on things that
4259: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4260: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4261: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4262: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4263: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4264: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4265: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214 bentley 4266: than funding — heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4267: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4268: <p>
4269: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4270: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4271: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4272: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4273: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4274: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4275: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4276: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4277: theft of oil.
4278: <p>
4279: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4280: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4281: <p>
4282: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4283: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4284: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4285: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4286: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4287: the project."
4288: <p>
4289: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4290: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4291: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4292: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4293: <p>
4294: Since the termination came near natural contract
4295: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4296: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4297: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4298: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4299: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4300: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4301: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4302: <p>
4303: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4304: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4305: of Robin Hood.
