278: Like the movie "Hackers", the OpenBSD project is now 25 years old.
279: Though the movie played no part in our focus on security.
280: <p>
281: What a ride it's been.
282: <p>
283: My little hobby project took itself both too seriously, and not
284: seriously at all. Then somewhere along the way the project started
285: collecting many seriously skilled developers who found it a
286: "fertile ground" to play and experiment. (To counter that, maybe they
287: didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write
288: independent software which wasn't being adopted).
289: <p>
290: The "fertile ground" I'm talking about is our willingness to throw away
291: the old and replace it, or try to adopt or build security protections,
292: or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the
293: extensive network components). The OpenSSH story comes from the same
294: approach.
295: <p>
296: In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to
297: the spirit of old BSD unix. It <i>feels</i> like modernized SunOS 4.0,
1.219 tj 298: trying to be a highly cohesive complete system where all the parts are
1.223 jsg 299: supposed to work similarly, and if they don't, we consider changing them.
1.218 job 300: The ifconfig command has been extended greatly, but it remains :-)
301: <p>
302: Strangely, along the way our work started influencing the whole
303: software industry. The packet filter pf is included in some systems.
304: Our libc work is in other places. OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and
305: address space randomization and other hardenings are either ubiquitous
306: now or inching that way. Pieces of our work are in nooks and crannies
307: everywhere, while the cohesive whole OpenBSD continues to be developed
308: apace.

1.212 deraadt 382: In OpenBSD developer circles few memes carry as strongly as "The 3
383: line diff". This is a humorous warning, but also a true story. More
384: than half the developers ("the new kids") don't know this story but
1.214 bentley 385: still repeat the meme — it has nearly become apocrypha.
1.212 deraadt 386: <p>
387: Unfortunately, in software development not all problems are as trivial
388: as we think.
389: <p>
390: The event happened at a hackathon in Portugal more than a decade ago.
391: <p>
392: In a eureka moment Art declared he had found a stunningly simple
1.214 bentley 393: solution for a problem long pondered, and he could fix it in 2 — no
394: — 3 lines. In the following weeks his change grew larger and larger,
1.212 deraadt 395: introducing (or exposing) other problems. We stood and stared. It
396: was far from a 3 line diff, and was eventually discarded.
397: <p>
1.215 fcambus 398: I am not writing words of mockery here. This is a common occurrence in
1.212 deraadt 399: complex software development. To do great things, we must reach for
400: the sky. Sometimes we fail, and quite often it is messy.
401: <p>
402: There is of course a danger we'll believe we are invincible, and push
403: a change which is too disruptive to others. For that reason, we
404: operate as a team. We can try to avoid hubris.
405: <p>
406: Therefore to this day posing a question like "And you can fix the
407: problem in 3 lines?" is a humorous way of keeping each other honest.

1.202 deraadt 484: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
485: we realized that read-only repository access
486: for everyone was a critical concept.
487: <p>
488: Previously, open source projects would make
489: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
490: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
491: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
492: development process. Unwittingly all open source
493: projects were operating with a walled garden
494: approach.
495: <p>
496: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
497: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
498: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
499: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
500: to deliver. Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
501: <p>
502: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
503: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
504: committed diff. They could reason about the past as
505: they proposed new changes.
506: <p>
507: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
508: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs. These
509: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
510: sufficient context to reason upon. Those who overwhelmed us
511: with good changes became developers with commit access. We
512: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
513: <p>
514: Some people said we would never last. Their cynicism
515: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
516: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
517: to embrace it also.

863: <p>
864: One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
865: software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
866: OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
867: to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
868: others to follow our lead.
869: <p>
870: We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
871: individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
872: ports developers. We've had less success promoting things up through
873: standards bodies and other projects. Too often the world seems caught
874: up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
1.215 fcambus 875: exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate representation
1.188 deraadt 876: that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
877: cause expense.
878: <p>
879: This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
880: long. I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
881: standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being

1380: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
1381: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
1382: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
1383: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
1.214 bentley 1384: many times in OpenBSD — a decision is made by a few people to do
1.159 deraadt 1385: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
1386: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
1387: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
1388: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
1389: surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
1390: feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality.. Sort of like the
1391: song. A number of us have had many years like this in the last 20.

1501: No one <em>wants</em> to fork an open source project: it's a huge

1508: <p>

1.144 deraadt 1581: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
1582: back to 1901. This is known as the
1583: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
1584: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
1585: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
1586: <p>
1.146 guenther 1587: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 1588: solve this.
1.146 guenther 1589: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
1590: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
1591: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
1592: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
1593: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 1594: <p>
1595: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 1596: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1597: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1598: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1599: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1600: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1601: <p>
1602: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1603: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1604: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1605: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1606: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1607: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1608: <p>
1609: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1610: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 1778: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
1779: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
1780: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
1781: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
1782: under particular Linux distributions.
1783: <p>
1784: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
1785: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
1786: <p>
1787: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
1788: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 1789: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
1790: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 1791: <p>
1792: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
1793: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1794: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
1795: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
1796: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
1797: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
1798: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 1799: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1.104 deraadt 2568: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2569: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2570: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2571: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214 bentley 2572: lots of really evil lawyers back then too — were they not afraid?

1.104 deraadt 2574: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2575: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2576: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2577: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2578: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2579: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2580: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2581: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214 bentley 2582: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor — people like
1.104 deraadt 2583: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1.216 bentley 2584: <p>
1.105 deraadt 2585: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2586: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214 bentley 2587: was given to the world in June 1991 — the largest dump of free source
2588: code the world had ever received (for those days — not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.216 bentley 2589: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2590: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2591: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2592: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2593: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2594: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2595: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2596: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2597: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.216 bentley 2598: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2599: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2600: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1.216 bentley 2713: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2714: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2715: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2716: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2717: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2718: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2719: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2720: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2721: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2722: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2723: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1.216 bentley 2724: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by,
1.95 deraadt 2725: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1.216 bentley 2726: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2727: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2728: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2729: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2730: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1.214 bentley 2731: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him — and him
2732: alone — and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1.216 bentley 2733: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2734: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2735: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2736: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2737: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2738: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
2739: influence which he could use so falsely.
1.216 bentley 2740: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2741: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
2742: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2743: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2744: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2745: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2746: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2747: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2748: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
2749: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
2750: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
2751: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1.216 bentley 2752: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2753: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
2754: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
2755: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
2756: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
2757: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1.214 bentley 2758: GNU software — including Emacs — compiles and runs on Windows.
1.216 bentley 2759: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2760: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
2761: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
2762: follow their own stupid rules.

1.90 deraadt 2857: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2858: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.214 bentley 2859: remained unchanged over the years — secure, free, reliable software,
1.90 deraadt 2860: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2861: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2862: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2863: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2864: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2865: away from the ideals very quickly.
2866: <p>
1.93 jmc 2867: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2868: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2869: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2870: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2871: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2872: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2873: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2874: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2875: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2876: <p>
2877: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2878: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2879: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2880: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2881: led to other issues.
2882: <p>
2883: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2884: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2885: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2886: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2887: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2888: <p>
2889: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1.214 bentley 2890: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit — it remains a core goal;
1.90 deraadt 2891: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1.214 bentley 2892: from projects who talk about sharing — such as the various Linux
1.90 deraadt 2893: projects.
2894: <p>
2895: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2896: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2897: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2898: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2899: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2900: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214 bentley 2901: — they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90 deraadt 2902: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2903: not for their agenda.
2904: <p>
2905: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2906: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2907: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2908: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

3006: <p>
1.81 deraadt 3007: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
3008: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
3009: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
3010: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
3011: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
3012: device support.
3013: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 3014: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 3015: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
3016: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
3017: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
3018: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
3019: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
3020: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
3021: weird, or even buggy.
3022: <p>
3023: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
3024: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
3025: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
3026: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
3027: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
3028: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 3029: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 3030: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
3031: OpenBSD, either).
3032: <p>
3033: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
3034: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
3035: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
3036: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
3037: 20 years building
1.83 wvdputte 3038: <a href="papers/brhard2007/mgp00024.html">
1.81 deraadt 3039: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
3040: <p>
1.82 jsg 3041: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 3042: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 3043: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
3044: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1.214 bentley 3045: communities — and their developers — with much less available clout for
1.81 deraadt 3046: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
3047: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
3048: would be fantastic by now.

1.77 deraadt 3250: resulted in an official OpenBSD release making it to the FTP

1.63 deraadt 3380: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3381: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3382: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3383: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3384: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1.216 bentley 3385: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.
3386: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3387: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
1.216 bentley 3388: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.
3389: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3390: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3391: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3392: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1.216 bentley 3393: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.
1.63 deraadt 3394: <ul>
1.216 bentley 3395: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors at any time.
3396: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.
3397: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.
3398: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.
3399: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.
3400: <li>Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus less portable.
3401: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.
1.63 deraadt 3402: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3403: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3404: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
3405: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
3406: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3407: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3408: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 3409: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

3546: <div class=commentary>
3547: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3548: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
3549: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
3550: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
3551: their devices.
3552: <p>
3553: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
3554: for the
1.204 tb 3555: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3556: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
3557: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
3558: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3559: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3560: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3561: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3562: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3563: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3564: <p>
3565: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3566: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3567: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3568: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214 bentley 3569: development model — it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58 deraadt 3570: "quality" to show its head.
3571: <p>
3572: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3573: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3574: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3575: <li>Repair
3576: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3577: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3578: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3579: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3580: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3581: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3582: <p>
3583: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3584: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3585: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3586: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3587: <p>
3588: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3589: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3590: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3591: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3592: <p>
3593: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3594: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3595: the AMI controllers.
3596: <p>
3597: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3598: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3599: basic RAID management:
3600: <ul>
3601: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3602: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3603: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3604: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3605: </ul>
3606: <p>
3607: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3608: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3609: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3610: <p>
3611: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3612: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3613: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3614: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3615: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3616: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3617: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3618: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3619: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3620: controllers.
3621: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3622: would not get documentation, either.
3623: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3624: look saintly.
3625: <p>
3626: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3627: in OpenBSD, please buy
1.216 bentley 3628: LSI/AMI RAID cards. And everything

3735: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3736: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1.216 bentley 3737: good device support.
3738: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3739: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3740: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3741: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3742: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3743: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3744: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3745: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3746: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3747: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216 bentley 3748: solved in the ethernet market.
3749: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3750: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3751: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3752: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3753: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3754: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3755: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1.216 bentley 3756: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.
3757: <p>
3758: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.
3759: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3760: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3761: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3762: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3763: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3764: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1.216 bentley 3765: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.
3766: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3767: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3768: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3769: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3770: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3771: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3772: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3773: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.204 tb 3774: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,

1.44 deraadt 3779: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3780: which chipsets into which product.
1.216 bentley 3781: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3782: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3783: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3784: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3785: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3786: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3787: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3788: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

3790: telling their development communities to not work with us at

1.37 deraadt 3893: What is up with some free software providers?!
3894: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3895: <p>
3896: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3897: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3898: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3899: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3900: going to remember them in the end.
3901: <p>
3902: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3903: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3904: offerings in the last few years:
3905: <ul>
3906: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3907: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3908: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3909: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3910: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3911: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3912: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3913: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3914: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3915: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3916: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3917: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3918: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3919: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3920: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3921: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3922: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3923: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3924: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3925: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3926: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3927: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3928: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3929: <p>
1.37 deraadt 3930: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3931: others who will follow them:
3932: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3933: replace it.

3939: Nuthin' to his name but a code and a dream<br>
3940: Lookin' for the legendary inland sea<br>

3943: But the town he found had suffered a blow<br>
1.38 pvalchev 3944: Fish were dying, cause the water was low<br>

3949: He said my water's good n' my water's free<br>
3950: So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me!<br>
3951: Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine"<br>
3952: They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time!<br>

3954: So Puff made a brand and he tanned his hide<br>

3970: Comin' to the rescue, Mayor Reed<br>
3971: He said, "This here filter's all ya'll need"<br>
3972: <p>
3973: But it didn't take long 'fore the filter plugged<br>
3974: Full of mud, n' crud, n' bugs<br>
3975: Folks said "gotta be a gooder way"<br>
3976: Mayor said "Hell No! She's O.K."<br>
3977: <p>
3978: <br>
3979: "The water's fine on the Open range"<br>
3980: And he passed a law that it couldn't change.<br>
1.51 jcs 3981: "No freeze, no boil, no frolicking young"<br>
1.37 deraadt 3982: Puff took him aside, said "this is wrong"<br>
3983: <p>
3984: Then he found the Mayor was addin' the crud!<br>
3985: So he took him down in a cloud of blood<br>
3986: Said "The Mayor's learnd, he's done been mean"<br>

3999: Of Apache fish, they was on the take<br>

4001: Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool!<br>

1.30 deraadt 4053: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
4054: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
4055: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
4056: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
4057: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
4058: <p>
4059: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.204 tb 4060: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4061: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
4062: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
4063: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
4064: sessions. Our
1.204 tb 4065: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4066: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
4067: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
4068: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
4069: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
4070: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
4071: <p>
4072: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
4073: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
4074: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
4075: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 4076: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 4077: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
4078: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
4079: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
4080: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
4081: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
4082: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 4083: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 4084: There was much deliberation</a>
4085: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
4086: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1.214 bentley 4087: standards — as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1.30 deraadt 4088: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
4089: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
4090: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
4091: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
4092: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
4093: eh?
4094: <p>
4095: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
4096: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
4097: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1.214 bentley 4098: — a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1.30 deraadt 4099: claim patent rights.
4100: <p>
4101: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
4102: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1.214 bentley 4103: its patents for VRRP implementations — meaning basically that it was
1.30 deraadt 4104: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
4105: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
4106: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
4107: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
4108: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
4109: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 4110: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 4111: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
4112: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
4113: <p>
4114: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
4115: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
4116: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
4117: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1.214 bentley 4118: avoid it — the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 4119: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 4120: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
4121: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
4122: like all others, except against the community.
4123: <p>
4124: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
4125: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
4126: <p>
4127: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
4128: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
4129: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
4130: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
4131: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
4132: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
4133: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
4134: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
4135: it to use cryptography.
4136: <p>
4137: The combination of
1.204 tb 4138: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
4139: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
4140: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4141: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
4142: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
4143: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
4144: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
4145: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
4146: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
4147: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
4148: <p>
4149: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
4150: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
4151: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
4152: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
4153: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
4154: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
4155: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
4156: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
4157: <p>
4158: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
4159: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.20 deraadt 4447: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 4448: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 4449: forces of the draconian government!
4450: <p>
4451: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4452: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4453: of recent happenings.
4454: <p>
4455: Two years ago we became involved with the University
4456: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
4457: security research and development .. on things that
4458: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4459: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4460: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4461: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4462: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4463: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4464: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214 bentley 4465: than funding — heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4466: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4467: <p>
4468: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4469: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4470: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4471: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4472: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4473: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4474: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4475: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4476: theft of oil.
4477: <p>
4478: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4479: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4480: <p>
4481: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4482: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4483: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4484: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4485: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4486: the project."
4487: <p>
4488: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4489: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4490: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4491: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4492: <p>
4493: Since the termination came near natural contract
4494: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4495: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4496: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4497: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4498: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4499: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4500: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4501: <p>
4502: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4503: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4504: of Robin Hood.
