218: Like the movie "Hackers", the OpenBSD project is now 25 years old.
219: Though the movie played no part in our focus on security.
220: <p>
221: What a ride it's been.
222: <p>
223: My little hobby project took itself both too seriously, and not
224: seriously at all. Then somewhere along the way the project started
225: collecting many seriously skilled developers who found it a
226: "fertile ground" to play and experiment. (To counter that, maybe they
227: didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write
228: independent software which wasn't being adopted).
229: <p>
230: The "fertile ground" I'm talking about is our willingness to throw away
231: the old and replace it, or try to adopt or build security protections,
232: or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the
233: extensive network components). The OpenSSH story comes from the same
234: approach.
235: <p>
236: In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to
237: the spirit of old BSD unix. It <i>feels</i> like modernized SunOS 4.0,
1.219 tj 238: trying to be a highly cohesive complete system where all the parts are
1.223 jsg 239: supposed to work similarly, and if they don't, we consider changing them.
1.218 job 240: The ifconfig command has been extended greatly, but it remains :-)
241: <p>
242: Strangely, along the way our work started influencing the whole
243: software industry. The packet filter pf is included in some systems.
244: Our libc work is in other places. OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and
245: address space randomization and other hardenings are either ubiquitous
246: now or inching that way. Pieces of our work are in nooks and crannies
247: everywhere, while the cohesive whole OpenBSD continues to be developed
248: apace.

1.212 deraadt 322: In OpenBSD developer circles few memes carry as strongly as "The 3
323: line diff". This is a humorous warning, but also a true story. More
324: than half the developers ("the new kids") don't know this story but
1.214 bentley 325: still repeat the meme — it has nearly become apocrypha.
1.212 deraadt 326: <p>
327: Unfortunately, in software development not all problems are as trivial
328: as we think.
329: <p>
330: The event happened at a hackathon in Portugal more than a decade ago.
331: <p>
332: In a eureka moment Art declared he had found a stunningly simple
1.214 bentley 333: solution for a problem long pondered, and he could fix it in 2 — no
334: — 3 lines. In the following weeks his change grew larger and larger,
1.212 deraadt 335: introducing (or exposing) other problems. We stood and stared. It
336: was far from a 3 line diff, and was eventually discarded.
337: <p>
1.215 fcambus 338: I am not writing words of mockery here. This is a common occurrence in
1.212 deraadt 339: complex software development. To do great things, we must reach for
340: the sky. Sometimes we fail, and quite often it is messy.
341: <p>
342: There is of course a danger we'll believe we are invincible, and push
343: a change which is too disruptive to others. For that reason, we
344: operate as a team. We can try to avoid hubris.
345: <p>
346: Therefore to this day posing a question like "And you can fix the
347: problem in 3 lines?" is a humorous way of keeping each other honest.

1.202 deraadt 424: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
425: we realized that read-only repository access
426: for everyone was a critical concept.
427: <p>
428: Previously, open source projects would make
429: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
430: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
431: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
432: development process. Unwittingly all open source
433: projects were operating with a walled garden
434: approach.
435: <p>
436: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
437: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
438: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
439: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
440: to deliver. Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
441: <p>
442: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
443: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
444: committed diff. They could reason about the past as
445: they proposed new changes.
446: <p>
447: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
448: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs. These
449: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
450: sufficient context to reason upon. Those who overwhelmed us
451: with good changes became developers with commit access. We
452: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
453: <p>
454: Some people said we would never last. Their cynicism
455: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
456: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
457: to embrace it also.

801: sometimes it's a bit of a chore. Theo bugs me to help him out, often
802: with a theme, and eventually I relent and devote an evening to it.
803: <p>
804: One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
805: software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
806: OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
807: to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
808: others to follow our lead.
809: <p>
810: We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
811: individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
812: ports developers. We've had less success promoting things up through
813: standards bodies and other projects. Too often the world seems caught
814: up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
1.215 fcambus 815: exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate representation
1.188 deraadt 816: that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
817: cause expense.
818: <p>
819: This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
820: long. I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
821: standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being

1322: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
1323: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
1.214 bentley 1324: many times in OpenBSD — a decision is made by a few people to do
1.159 deraadt 1325: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
1326: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
1327: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
1328: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
1329: surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
1330: feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality.. Sort of like the
1331: song. A number of us have had many years like this in the last 20.

1441: No one <em>wants</em> to fork an open source project: it's a huge

1443: wake up one day and find that a hole in the SSL library you're using

1448: <p>

1.144 deraadt 1521: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
1522: back to 1901. This is known as the
1523: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
1524: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
1525: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
1526: <p>
1.146 guenther 1527: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 1528: solve this.
1.146 guenther 1529: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
1530: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
1531: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
1532: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
1533: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 1534: <p>
1535: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 1536: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1537: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1538: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1539: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1540: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1541: <p>
1542: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1543: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1544: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1545: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1546: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1547: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1548: <p>
1549: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1550: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1725: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
1726: <p>
1727: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
1728: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 1729: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
1730: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 1731: <p>
1732: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
1733: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1734: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
1735: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
1736: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
1737: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
1738: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 1739: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1.104 deraadt 2493: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
2494: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 2495: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 2496: We recommend you read his story, entitled
2497: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
2498: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
2499: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
2500: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
2501: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
2502: probably not been read by enough people.
1.216 bentley 2503: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2504: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
2505: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
2506: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1.214 bentley 2507: of corporate pollution — and release it freely — is more interesting
1.104 deraadt 2508: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2509: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2510: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2511: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214 bentley 2512: lots of really evil lawyers back then too — were they not afraid?
1.216 bentley 2513: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2514: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2515: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2516: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2517: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2518: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2519: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2520: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2521: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214 bentley 2522: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor — people like
1.104 deraadt 2523: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1.216 bentley 2524: <p>
1.105 deraadt 2525: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2526: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214 bentley 2527: was given to the world in June 1991 — the largest dump of free source
2528: code the world had ever received (for those days — not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.216 bentley 2529: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2530: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2531: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2532: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2533: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2534: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2535: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2536: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2537: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.216 bentley 2538: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2539: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2540: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1.216 bentley 2653: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2654: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2655: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2656: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2657: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2658: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2659: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2660: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2661: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2662: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2663: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1.216 bentley 2664: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by,
1.95 deraadt 2665: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1.216 bentley 2666: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2667: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2668: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2669: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2670: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1.214 bentley 2671: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him — and him
2672: alone — and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1.216 bentley 2673: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2674: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2675: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2676: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2677: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2678: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
2679: influence which he could use so falsely.
1.216 bentley 2680: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2681: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
2682: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2683: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2684: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2685: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2686: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2687: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2688: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
2689: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
2690: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
2691: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1.216 bentley 2692: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2693: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
2694: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
2695: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
2696: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
2697: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1.214 bentley 2698: GNU software — including Emacs — compiles and runs on Windows.
1.216 bentley 2699: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2700: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
2701: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not

1.90 deraadt 2797: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2798: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.214 bentley 2799: remained unchanged over the years — secure, free, reliable software,
1.90 deraadt 2800: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2801: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2802: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2803: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2804: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2805: away from the ideals very quickly.
2806: <p>
1.93 jmc 2807: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2808: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2809: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2810: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2811: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2812: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2813: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2814: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2815: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2816: <p>
2817: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2818: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2819: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2820: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2821: led to other issues.
2822: <p>
2823: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2824: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2825: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2826: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2827: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2828: <p>
2829: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1.214 bentley 2830: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit — it remains a core goal;
1.90 deraadt 2831: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1.214 bentley 2832: from projects who talk about sharing — such as the various Linux
1.90 deraadt 2833: projects.
2834: <p>
2835: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2836: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2837: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2838: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2839: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2840: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214 bentley 2841: — they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90 deraadt 2842: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2843: not for their agenda.
2844: <p>
2845: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2846: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2847: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2848: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1.81 deraadt 2947: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2948: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2949: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2950: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2951: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2952: device support.
2953: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2954: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2955: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2956: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2957: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2958: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2959: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2960: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2961: weird, or even buggy.
2962: <p>
2963: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2964: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2965: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2966: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2967: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2968: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2969: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices

2974: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2975: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But

1.63 deraadt 3320: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3321: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3322: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3323: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3324: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1.216 bentley 3325: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.
3326: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3327: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
1.216 bentley 3328: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.
3329: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3330: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3331: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3332: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1.216 bentley 3333: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.

3346: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3347: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3348: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,

3487: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3488: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
3489: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
3490: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
3491: their devices.
3492: <p>
3493: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
3494: for the
1.204 tb 3495: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3496: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
3497: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
3498: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3499: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3500: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3501: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3502: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3503: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3504: <p>
3505: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3506: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3507: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3508: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214 bentley 3509: development model — it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58 deraadt 3510: "quality" to show its head.
3511: <p>
3512: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3513: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3514: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3515: <li>Repair
3516: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3517: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3518: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3519: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3520: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3521: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3522: <p>
3523: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3524: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3525: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3526: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3527: <p>
3528: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3529: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3530: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3531: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3532: <p>
3533: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3534: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3535: the AMI controllers.
3536: <p>
3537: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3538: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3539: basic RAID management:
3540: <ul>
3541: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3542: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3543: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3544: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3545: </ul>
3546: <p>
3547: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3548: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3549: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3550: <p>
3551: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3552: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3553: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3554: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3555: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3556: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3557: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3558: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3559: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3560: controllers.
3561: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3562: would not get documentation, either.
3563: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3564: look saintly.
3565: <p>
3566: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3567: in OpenBSD, please buy
1.216 bentley 3568: LSI/AMI RAID cards. And everything

3675: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3676: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1.216 bentley 3677: good device support.
3678: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3679: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3680: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3681: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3682: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3683: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3684: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3685: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3686: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3687: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216 bentley 3688: solved in the ethernet market.
3689: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3690: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3691: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3692: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3693: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3694: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3695: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1.216 bentley 3696: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.
3697: <p>
3698: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.
3699: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3700: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3701: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3702: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3703: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3704: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1.216 bentley 3705: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.
3706: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3707: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3708: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3709: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3710: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3711: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3712: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3713: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.204 tb 3714: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,

3718: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3719: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3720: which chipsets into which product.
1.216 bentley 3721: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3722: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3723: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3724: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3725: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3726: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3727: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3728: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

3730: telling their development communities to not work with us at

1.37 deraadt 3833: What is up with some free software providers?!
3834: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3835: <p>
3836: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3837: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3838: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3839: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3840: going to remember them in the end.
3841: <p>
3842: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3843: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3844: offerings in the last few years:
3845: <ul>
3846: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3847: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3848: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3849: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3850: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3851: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3852: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3853: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3854: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3855: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3856: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3857: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3858: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3859: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3860: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3861: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3862: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3863: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3864: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3865: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3866: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3867: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3868: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3869: <p>
1.37 deraadt 3870: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3871: others who will follow them:
3872: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3873: replace it.

1.37 deraadt 3878: Well he rode from the ocean far upstream<br>
3879: Nuthin' to his name but a code and a dream<br>
3880: Lookin' for the legendary inland sea<br>
3881: Where the water was deep n' clean n' free<br>
3882: <p>
3883: But the town he found had suffered a blow<br>
1.38 pvalchev 3884: Fish were dying, cause the water was low<br>
1.37 deraadt 3885: Fat cat fish name o' Diamond Dawes<br>
3886: Plugged the stream with copyright laws<br>
3887: <p>
3888: <br>
3889: He said my water's good n' my water's free<br>
3890: So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me!<br>
3891: Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine"<br>
3892: They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time!<br>
3893: <p>
3894: So Puff made a brand and he tanned his hide<br>
3895: Said. "this is the mark of too much pride"<br>

3905: With his OpenBSD<br>
3906: <p>
3907: <br>
3908: Well things were good fer a spell in town<br>
3909: But then one day, dang water turned brown<br>
3910: Comin' to the rescue, Mayor Reed<br>
3911: He said, "This here filter's all ya'll need"<br>
3912: <p>
3913: But it didn't take long 'fore the filter plugged<br>
3914: Full of mud, n' crud, n' bugs<br>
3915: Folks said "gotta be a gooder way"<br>
3916: Mayor said "Hell No! She's O.K."<br>
3917: <p>
3918: <br>
3919: "The water's fine on the Open range"<br>
3920: And he passed a law that it couldn't change.<br>
1.51 jcs 3921: "No freeze, no boil, no frolicking young"<br>
1.37 deraadt 3922: Puff took him aside, said "this is wrong"<br>
3923: <p>
3924: Then he found the Mayor was addin' the crud!<br>
3925: So he took him down in a cloud of blood<br>
3926: Said "The Mayor's learnd, he's done been mean"<br>
3927: So they did it right and the water went clean!<br>

3938: So he rolled up-gulch till he hit the lake<br>
3939: Of Apache fish, they was on the take<br>
3940: They'd built a dam that was made of rules<br>
3941: Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool!<br>

3944: I'm sick and tired of these goldarn words!<br>

3992: <p>
1.30 deraadt 3993: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3994: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3995: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3996: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3997: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3998: <p>
3999: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.204 tb 4000: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4001: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
4002: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
4003: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
4004: sessions. Our
1.204 tb 4005: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4006: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
4007: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
4008: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
4009: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
4010: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
4011: <p>
4012: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
4013: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
4014: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
4015: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 4016: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 4017: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
4018: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
4019: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
4020: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
4021: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
4022: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 4023: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 4024: There was much deliberation</a>
4025: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
4026: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1.214 bentley 4027: standards — as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1.30 deraadt 4028: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
4029: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
4030: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
4031: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
4032: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
4033: eh?
4034: <p>
4035: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
4036: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
4037: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1.214 bentley 4038: — a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1.30 deraadt 4039: claim patent rights.
4040: <p>
4041: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
4042: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1.214 bentley 4043: its patents for VRRP implementations — meaning basically that it was
1.30 deraadt 4044: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
4045: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
4046: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
4047: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
4048: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
4049: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 4050: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 4051: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
4052: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
4053: <p>
4054: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
4055: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
4056: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
4057: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1.214 bentley 4058: avoid it — the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 4059: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 4060: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
4061: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
4062: like all others, except against the community.
4063: <p>
4064: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
4065: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
4066: <p>
4067: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
4068: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
4069: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
4070: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
4071: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
4072: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
4073: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
4074: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
4075: it to use cryptography.
4076: <p>
4077: The combination of
1.204 tb 4078: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
4079: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
4080: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4081: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
4082: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
4083: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
4084: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
4085: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
4086: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
4087: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
4088: <p>
4089: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
4090: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
4091: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
4092: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
4093: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
4094: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
4095: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
4096: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
4097: <p>
4098: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
4099: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.20 deraadt 4387: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 4388: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 4389: forces of the draconian government!
4390: <p>
4391: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4392: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4393: of recent happenings.
4394: <p>
4395: Two years ago we became involved with the University
4396: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
4397: security research and development .. on things that
4398: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4399: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4400: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4401: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4402: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4403: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4404: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214 bentley 4405: than funding — heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4406: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4407: <p>
4408: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4409: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4410: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4411: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4412: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4413: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4414: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4415: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4416: theft of oil.
4417: <p>
4418: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4419: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4420: <p>
4421: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4422: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4423: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4424: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4425: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4426: the project."
4427: <p>
4428: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4429: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4430: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4431: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4432: <p>
4433: Since the termination came near natural contract
4434: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4435: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4436: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4437: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4438: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4439: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4440: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4441: <p>
4442: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4443: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4444: of Robin Hood.
