184: Like the movie "Hackers", the OpenBSD project is now 25 years old.
185: Though the movie played no part in our focus on security.
186: <p>
187: What a ride it's been.
188: <p>
189: My little hobby project took itself both too seriously, and not
190: seriously at all. Then somewhere along the way the project started
191: collecting many seriously skilled developers who found it a
192: "fertile ground" to play and experiment. (To counter that, maybe they
193: didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write
194: independent software which wasn't being adopted).
195: <p>
196: The "fertile ground" I'm talking about is our willingness to throw away
197: the old and replace it, or try to adopt or build security protections,
198: or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the
199: extensive network components). The OpenSSH story comes from the same
200: approach.
201: <p>
202: In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to
203: the spirit of old BSD unix. It <i>feels</i> like modernized SunOS 4.0,
1.219 tj 204: trying to be a highly cohesive complete system where all the parts are
1.223 ! jsg 205: supposed to work similarly, and if they don't, we consider changing them.
1.218 job 206: The ifconfig command has been extended greatly, but it remains :-)
207: <p>
208: Strangely, along the way our work started influencing the whole
209: software industry. The packet filter pf is included in some systems.
210: Our libc work is in other places. OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and
211: address space randomization and other hardenings are either ubiquitous
212: now or inching that way. Pieces of our work are in nooks and crannies
213: everywhere, while the cohesive whole OpenBSD continues to be developed
214: apace.
215: <p>
216: Another 25 years?

1.212 deraadt 288: In OpenBSD developer circles few memes carry as strongly as "The 3
289: line diff". This is a humorous warning, but also a true story. More
290: than half the developers ("the new kids") don't know this story but
1.214 bentley 291: still repeat the meme — it has nearly become apocrypha.
1.212 deraadt 292: <p>
293: Unfortunately, in software development not all problems are as trivial
294: as we think.
295: <p>
296: The event happened at a hackathon in Portugal more than a decade ago.
297: <p>
298: In a eureka moment Art declared he had found a stunningly simple
1.214 bentley 299: solution for a problem long pondered, and he could fix it in 2 — no
300: — 3 lines. In the following weeks his change grew larger and larger,
1.212 deraadt 301: introducing (or exposing) other problems. We stood and stared. It
302: was far from a 3 line diff, and was eventually discarded.
303: <p>
1.215 fcambus 304: I am not writing words of mockery here. This is a common occurrence in
1.212 deraadt 305: complex software development. To do great things, we must reach for
306: the sky. Sometimes we fail, and quite often it is messy.
307: <p>
308: There is of course a danger we'll believe we are invincible, and push
309: a change which is too disruptive to others. For that reason, we
310: operate as a team. We can try to avoid hubris.
311: <p>
312: Therefore to this day posing a question like "And you can fix the
313: problem in 3 lines?" is a humorous way of keeping each other honest.

1.202 deraadt 390: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
391: we realized that read-only repository access
392: for everyone was a critical concept.
393: <p>
394: Previously, open source projects would make
395: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
396: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
397: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
398: development process. Unwittingly all open source
399: projects were operating with a walled garden
400: approach.
401: <p>
402: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
403: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
404: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
405: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
406: to deliver. Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
407: <p>
408: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
409: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
410: committed diff. They could reason about the past as
411: they proposed new changes.
412: <p>
413: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
414: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs. These
415: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
416: sufficient context to reason upon. Those who overwhelmed us
417: with good changes became developers with commit access. We
418: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
419: <p>
420: Some people said we would never last. Their cynicism
421: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
422: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
423: to embrace it also.

769: <p>
770: One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
771: software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
772: OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
773: to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
774: others to follow our lead.
775: <p>
776: We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
777: individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
778: ports developers. We've had less success promoting things up through
779: standards bodies and other projects. Too often the world seems caught
780: up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
1.215 fcambus 781: exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate representation
1.188 deraadt 782: that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
783: cause expense.
784: <p>
785: This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
786: long. I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
787: standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being

1287: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
1288: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
1289: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
1.214 bentley 1290: many times in OpenBSD — a decision is made by a few people to do
1.159 deraadt 1291: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
1292: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
1293: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or

1407: No one <em>wants</em> to fork an open source project: it's a huge
1.148 deraadt 1408: amount of work and isn't efficient in community time, but when you
1409: wake up one day and find that a hole in the SSL library you're using
1410: made world-wide news, and that the library's bad code style is
1411: hiding exploit mitigation countermeasures, then suddenly forking
1412: seems critically important. Two months of intense development later,
1413: LibreSSL was released.
1414: <p>
1415: The bigger questions remain for the open source development community
1416: to answer: why did this occur? Why is the OpenSSL code base so hard
1417: to understand? Complexity is the enemy of security, so for something
1418: whose raison d'être is security, why are secondary goals allowed
1419: to endanger the absolute #1 goal? Or has OpenSSL become a brand which

1.144 deraadt 1487: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
1488: back to 1901. This is known as the
1489: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
1490: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
1491: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
1492: <p>
1.146 guenther 1493: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 1494: solve this.
1.146 guenther 1495: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
1496: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
1497: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
1498: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
1499: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 1500: <p>
1501: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 1502: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1503: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1504: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1505: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1506: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1507: <p>
1508: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1509: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1510: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1511: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1512: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1513: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1514: <p>
1515: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1516: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 1684: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
1685: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
1686: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
1687: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
1688: under particular Linux distributions.
1689: <p>
1690: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
1691: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
1692: <p>
1693: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
1694: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 1695: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
1696: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 1697: <p>
1698: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
1699: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1700: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
1701: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
1702: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
1703: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
1704: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 1705: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1.104 deraadt 2459: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
2460: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 2461: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 2462: We recommend you read his story, entitled
2463: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
2464: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
2465: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
2466: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
2467: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
2468: probably not been read by enough people.
1.216 bentley 2469: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2470: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
2471: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
2472: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1.214 bentley 2473: of corporate pollution — and release it freely — is more interesting
1.104 deraadt 2474: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2475: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2476: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2477: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214 bentley 2478: lots of really evil lawyers back then too — were they not afraid?
1.216 bentley 2479: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2480: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2481: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2482: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2483: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2484: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2485: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2486: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2487: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214 bentley 2488: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor — people like
1.104 deraadt 2489: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1.216 bentley 2490: <p>
1.105 deraadt 2491: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2492: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214 bentley 2493: was given to the world in June 1991 — the largest dump of free source
2494: code the world had ever received (for those days — not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.216 bentley 2495: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2496: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2497: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2498: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2499: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2500: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2501: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2502: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2503: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.216 bentley 2504: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2505: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2506: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1.216 bentley 2619: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2620: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2621: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2622: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2623: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2624: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2625: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2626: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2627: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2628: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2629: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1.216 bentley 2630: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by,
1.95 deraadt 2631: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1.216 bentley 2632: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2633: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2634: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2635: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2636: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1.214 bentley 2637: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him — and him
2638: alone — and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1.216 bentley 2639: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2640: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2641: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2642: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2643: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2644: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
2645: influence which he could use so falsely.
1.216 bentley 2646: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2647: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
2648: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2649: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2650: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2651: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2652: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2653: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2654: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
2655: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
2656: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
2657: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1.216 bentley 2658: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2659: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
2660: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
2661: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
2662: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
2663: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1.214 bentley 2664: GNU software — including Emacs — compiles and runs on Windows.
1.216 bentley 2665: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2666: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
2667: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not

1.90 deraadt 2763: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2764: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.214 bentley 2765: remained unchanged over the years — secure, free, reliable software,
1.90 deraadt 2766: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2767: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2768: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2769: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2770: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2771: away from the ideals very quickly.
2772: <p>
1.93 jmc 2773: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2774: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2775: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2776: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2777: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2778: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2779: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2780: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2781: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2782: <p>
2783: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2784: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2785: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2786: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2787: led to other issues.
2788: <p>
2789: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2790: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2791: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2792: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2793: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2794: <p>
2795: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1.214 bentley 2796: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit — it remains a core goal;
1.90 deraadt 2797: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1.214 bentley 2798: from projects who talk about sharing — such as the various Linux
1.90 deraadt 2799: projects.
2800: <p>
2801: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2802: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2803: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2804: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2805: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2806: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214 bentley 2807: — they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90 deraadt 2808: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2809: not for their agenda.
2810: <p>
2811: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2812: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2813: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2814: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2912: <p>
1.81 deraadt 2913: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2914: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2915: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2916: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2917: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2918: device support.
2919: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2920: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2921: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2922: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2923: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2924: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2925: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2926: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2927: weird, or even buggy.
2928: <p>
2929: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2930: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2931: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2932: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2933: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2934: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2935: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2936: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2937: OpenBSD, either).
2938: <p>
2939: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2940: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2941: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2942: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2943: 20 years building
1.83 wvdputte 2944: <a href="papers/brhard2007/mgp00024.html">
1.81 deraadt 2945: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2946: <p>
1.82 jsg 2947: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2948: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2949: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
2950: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1.214 bentley 2951: communities — and their developers — with much less available clout for
1.81 deraadt 2952: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would

2954: would be fantastic by now.

1.63 deraadt 3286: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3287: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3288: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3289: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3290: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1.216 bentley 3291: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.
3292: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3293: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
1.216 bentley 3294: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.
3295: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3296: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3297: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3298: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1.216 bentley 3299: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.
1.63 deraadt 3300: <ul>
1.216 bentley 3301: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors at any time.

3304: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.
3305: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.
3306: <li>Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus less portable.
3307: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.

1.216 bentley 3309: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3310: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
3311: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
3312: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3313: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3314: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 3315: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

3453: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3454: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
3455: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
3456: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
3457: their devices.
3458: <p>
3459: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
3460: for the
1.204 tb 3461: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3462: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
3463: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
3464: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3465: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3466: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3467: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3468: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3469: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3470: <p>
3471: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3472: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3473: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3474: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214 bentley 3475: development model — it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58 deraadt 3476: "quality" to show its head.
3477: <p>
3478: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3479: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3480: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3481: <li>Repair
3482: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3483: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3484: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3485: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3486: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3487: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3488: <p>
3489: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3490: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3491: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3492: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3493: <p>
3494: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3495: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3496: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3497: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3498: <p>
3499: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3500: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3501: the AMI controllers.
3502: <p>
3503: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3504: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3505: basic RAID management:
3506: <ul>
3507: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3508: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3509: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3510: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3511: </ul>
3512: <p>
3513: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3514: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3515: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3516: <p>
3517: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3518: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3519: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3520: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3521: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3522: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3523: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3524: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3525: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3526: controllers.
3527: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3528: would not get documentation, either.
3529: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3530: look saintly.
3531: <p>
3532: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3533: in OpenBSD, please buy
1.216 bentley 3534: LSI/AMI RAID cards. And everything

3641: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3642: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1.216 bentley 3643: good device support.
3644: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3645: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3646: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3647: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3648: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3649: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3650: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3651: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3652: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3653: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216 bentley 3654: solved in the ethernet market.
3655: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3656: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3657: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3658: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3659: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3660: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3661: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1.216 bentley 3662: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.
3663: <p>
3664: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.
3665: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3666: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3667: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3668: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3669: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3670: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1.216 bentley 3671: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.
3672: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3673: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3674: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3675: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3676: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3677: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3678: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3679: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.204 tb 3680: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
3681: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

3683: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=awi">ADMTek</a>,
3684: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3685: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3686: which chipsets into which product.
1.216 bentley 3687: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3688: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3689: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3690: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3691: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3692: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3693: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3694: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

3696: telling their development communities to not work with us at

1.37 deraadt 3799: What is up with some free software providers?!
3800: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3801: <p>
3802: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3803: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3804: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3805: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3806: going to remember them in the end.
3807: <p>
3808: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3809: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3810: offerings in the last few years:
3811: <ul>
3812: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3813: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3814: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3815: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3816: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3817: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3818: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3819: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3820: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3821: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3822: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3823: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3824: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3825: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3826: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3827: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3828: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3829: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3830: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3831: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3832: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3833: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3834: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3835: <p>
1.37 deraadt 3836: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3837: others who will follow them:
3838: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3839: replace it.

1.37 deraadt 3844: Well he rode from the ocean far upstream<br>
3845: Nuthin' to his name but a code and a dream<br>
3846: Lookin' for the legendary inland sea<br>
3847: Where the water was deep n' clean n' free<br>
3848: <p>
3849: But the town he found had suffered a blow<br>
1.38 pvalchev 3850: Fish were dying, cause the water was low<br>
1.37 deraadt 3851: Fat cat fish name o' Diamond Dawes<br>
3852: Plugged the stream with copyright laws<br>
3853: <p>
3854: <br>
3855: He said my water's good n' my water's free<br>
3856: So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me!<br>
3857: Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine"<br>
3858: They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time!<br>
3859: <p>
3860: So Puff made a brand and he tanned his hide<br>
3861: Said. "this is the mark of too much pride"<br>
3862: Tied him to a horse, set the tail on fire<br>
3863: Slapped er on the ass and the water went higher!<br>

3867: wouldn't take no guff<br>
1.41 deraadt 3868: Water oughta be clean and free<br>
1.37 deraadt 3869: So he fought the fight<br>
3870: and he set things right<br>
3871: With his OpenBSD<br>
3872: <p>
3873: <br>
3874: Well things were good fer a spell in town<br>
3875: But then one day, dang water turned brown<br>
3876: Comin' to the rescue, Mayor Reed<br>
3877: He said, "This here filter's all ya'll need"<br>
3878: <p>
3879: But it didn't take long 'fore the filter plugged<br>
3880: Full of mud, n' crud, n' bugs<br>
3881: Folks said "gotta be a gooder way"<br>
3882: Mayor said "Hell No! She's O.K."<br>
3883: <p>
3884: <br>
3885: "The water's fine on the Open range"<br>
3886: And he passed a law that it couldn't change.<br>
1.51 jcs 3887: "No freeze, no boil, no frolicking young"<br>
1.37 deraadt 3888: Puff took him aside, said "this is wrong"<br>
3889: <p>
3890: Then he found the Mayor was addin' the crud!<br>
3891: So he took him down in a cloud of blood<br>
3892: Said "The Mayor's learnd, he's done been mean"<br>
3893: So they did it right and the water went clean!<br>
3894: <p>

1.216 bentley 3896: CHORUS

3898: <br>
3899: So once agin' it was right, but then<br>
3900: The lake went dry, she was gone again!<br>
3901: Fish started flippin' and floppin' about<br>
1.42 deraadt 3902: Yellin' "Mercy Puff! It's a doggone drought!"<br>
1.37 deraadt 3903: <p>
3904: So he rolled up-gulch till he hit the lake<br>
3905: Of Apache fish, they was on the take<br>
3906: They'd built a dam that was made of rules<br>
3907: Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool!<br>
3908: <p>
3909: <br>
3910: I'm sick and tired of these goldarn words!<br>
1.39 mcbride 3911: n' laws n' bureaucratic nerds!<br>

3958: <p>
1.30 deraadt 3959: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3960: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3961: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3962: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3963: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3964: <p>
3965: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.204 tb 3966: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3967: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3968: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3969: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3970: sessions. Our
1.204 tb 3971: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3972: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3973: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3974: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3975: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3976: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3977: <p>
3978: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3979: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3980: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3981: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 3982: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 3983: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3984: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3985: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3986: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3987: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3988: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3989: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3990: There was much deliberation</a>
3991: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3992: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1.214 bentley 3993: standards — as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1.30 deraadt 3994: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3995: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3996: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3997: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3998: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3999: eh?
4000: <p>
4001: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
4002: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
4003: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1.214 bentley 4004: — a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1.30 deraadt 4005: claim patent rights.
4006: <p>
4007: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
4008: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1.214 bentley 4009: its patents for VRRP implementations — meaning basically that it was
1.30 deraadt 4010: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
4011: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
4012: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
4013: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
4014: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
4015: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 4016: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 4017: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
4018: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
4019: <p>
4020: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
4021: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
4022: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
4023: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1.214 bentley 4024: avoid it — the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 4025: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 4026: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
4027: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
4028: like all others, except against the community.
4029: <p>
4030: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
4031: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
4032: <p>
4033: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
4034: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
4035: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
4036: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
4037: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
4038: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
4039: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
4040: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
4041: it to use cryptography.
4042: <p>
4043: The combination of
1.204 tb 4044: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
4045: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
4046: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4047: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
4048: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
4049: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
4050: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
4051: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
4052: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
4053: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
4054: <p>
4055: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
4056: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
4057: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
4058: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
4059: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
4060: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
4061: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
4062: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
4063: <p>
4064: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
4065: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.20 deraadt 4353: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 4354: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 4355: forces of the draconian government!
4356: <p>
4357: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4358: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4359: of recent happenings.
4360: <p>
4361: Two years ago we became involved with the University
4362: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
4363: security research and development .. on things that
4364: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4365: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4366: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4367: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4368: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4369: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4370: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214 bentley 4371: than funding — heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4372: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4373: <p>
4374: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4375: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4376: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4377: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4378: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4379: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4380: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4381: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4382: theft of oil.
4383: <p>
4384: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4385: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4386: <p>
4387: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4388: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4389: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4390: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4391: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4392: the project."
4393: <p>
4394: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4395: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4396: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4397: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4398: <p>
4399: Since the termination came near natural contract
4400: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4401: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4402: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4403: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4404: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4405: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4406: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4407: <p>
4408: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4409: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4410: of Robin Hood.
