193: Once there was a Wizard so old and wise<br>
1.233 ! jsg 194: that he asked Mother Night for a new enterprise<br>
1.232 job 195: falling asleep his wish was heard<br>
196: and by Merlin's beard<br>
197: what a strange world he entered<br>
198: <br>
199: In this world existed only zeros and ones<br>
200: never had a Wizard seen such duality, not once<br>
201: He approached one of the zeros and said<br>
202: <i>Who are you?</i><br>
203: <i>I'm a zero</i><br>
204: <i>yes, I see, but what do you do?</i><br>
205: The zero said<br>
206: <i>I am the beginning and the end</i><br>
207: <br>
208: Never had our Wizard met such a strange friend<br>
209: He did not understand at all what he saw<br>
210: and walking on this time met another strange fella<br>
211: he approached the one and said:<br>
212: <i>Who are you?</i><br>
213: <i>I'm One</i><br>
214: <i>Yes, I see, but what do you do?</i><br>
215: The one said: <i>I am everything in between</i><br>
216: <br>
217: The Wizard could not believe what his eyes had just seen<br>
218: He sat down on a stone feeling tired and alone<br>
219: missing his friends in the binary unknown<br>
220: silent and sad he played with his beard<br>
221: suddenly, a little fish appeared!<br>
222: <br>
223: The Wizard said: <i>you are not a zero or a one?</i><br>
224: <i>No, I'm a fish, come swim with me, come</i><br>
225: They swam together and dived<br>
226: deep into the ocean<br>
227: until they found the place<br>
228: where it once all began<br>
229: <br>
230: The little fish took a small rake and starting raking the sand<br>
231: and the Wizard was amazed by the waves of this new friend<br>
232: he said<br>
233: <i>Little fish, who are you?</i><br>
234: <i>I'm a gardener, don't you see?</i><br>
235: <i>Well, yes, but what do you do?</i><br>
236: The little fish - without stopping - calmly made clear<br>
237: <i>My task is important, this is what I do here,<br>
238: the sand contains crucial information<br>
239: which I need to order<br>
240: before the rising of the sun.</i><br>
241: <br>
242: Suddenly, from far, a big whale appeared<br>
243: The Wizard, frightend, quickly hid behind his beard<br>
244: The whale opened his mouth<br>
245: but instead of swallowing our friend<br>
246: released from his tongue<br>
247: piles and piles of new sand.<br>
248: The Wizard, startled, opened his mouth<br>
249: but the fish said<br>
250: <i>No no no, no questions allowed,<br>
251: we do not need to know where he comes from or goes<br>
252: for a little mystery is what gives us purpose.</i><br>
253: <br>
254: Finally something the Wizard could understand<br>
255: he had found the mystery underneath the beginning and the end<br>
256: he had dived way below everything in between<br>
257: and saw the biggest whale he had ever seen<br>
258: <br>
259: He said <i>My dear fish, what you do, I can see,<br>
260: is raking the maritime soil of mystery<br>
261: from now on, I will protect you, your sand, and your shells,<br>
262: coming back every year to update my spells.</i><br>
263: <br>
264: They said their goodbyes<br>
265: and the Wizard returned<br>
266: to his nice and warm bed,<br>
267: with all his lessons learned<br>
268: He was happy that he now understood this strange place<br>
269: and could protect his new friends for the rest of his days<br>

387: Like the movie "Hackers", the OpenBSD project is now 25 years old.
388: Though the movie played no part in our focus on security.
389: <p>
390: What a ride it's been.
391: <p>
392: My little hobby project took itself both too seriously, and not
393: seriously at all. Then somewhere along the way the project started
394: collecting many seriously skilled developers who found it a
395: "fertile ground" to play and experiment. (To counter that, maybe they
396: didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write
397: independent software which wasn't being adopted).
398: <p>
399: The "fertile ground" I'm talking about is our willingness to throw away
400: the old and replace it, or try to adopt or build security protections,
401: or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the
402: extensive network components). The OpenSSH story comes from the same
403: approach.
404: <p>
405: In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to
406: the spirit of old BSD unix. It <i>feels</i> like modernized SunOS 4.0,
1.219 tj 407: trying to be a highly cohesive complete system where all the parts are
1.223 jsg 408: supposed to work similarly, and if they don't, we consider changing them.
1.218 job 409: The ifconfig command has been extended greatly, but it remains :-)
410: <p>
411: Strangely, along the way our work started influencing the whole
412: software industry. The packet filter pf is included in some systems.
413: Our libc work is in other places. OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and
414: address space randomization and other hardenings are either ubiquitous
415: now or inching that way. Pieces of our work are in nooks and crannies
416: everywhere, while the cohesive whole OpenBSD continues to be developed
417: apace.

1.212 deraadt 491: In OpenBSD developer circles few memes carry as strongly as "The 3
492: line diff". This is a humorous warning, but also a true story. More
493: than half the developers ("the new kids") don't know this story but
1.214 bentley 494: still repeat the meme — it has nearly become apocrypha.
1.212 deraadt 495: <p>
496: Unfortunately, in software development not all problems are as trivial
497: as we think.
498: <p>
499: The event happened at a hackathon in Portugal more than a decade ago.
500: <p>
501: In a eureka moment Art declared he had found a stunningly simple
1.214 bentley 502: solution for a problem long pondered, and he could fix it in 2 — no
503: — 3 lines. In the following weeks his change grew larger and larger,
1.212 deraadt 504: introducing (or exposing) other problems. We stood and stared. It
505: was far from a 3 line diff, and was eventually discarded.
506: <p>
1.215 fcambus 507: I am not writing words of mockery here. This is a common occurrence in
1.212 deraadt 508: complex software development. To do great things, we must reach for
509: the sky. Sometimes we fail, and quite often it is messy.
510: <p>
511: There is of course a danger we'll believe we are invincible, and push
512: a change which is too disruptive to others. For that reason, we
513: operate as a team. We can try to avoid hubris.
514: <p>
515: Therefore to this day posing a question like "And you can fix the
516: problem in 3 lines?" is a humorous way of keeping each other honest.

1.202 deraadt 593: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
594: we realized that read-only repository access
595: for everyone was a critical concept.
596: <p>
597: Previously, open source projects would make
598: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
599: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
600: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
601: development process. Unwittingly all open source
602: projects were operating with a walled garden
603: approach.
604: <p>
605: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
606: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
607: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
608: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
609: to deliver. Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
610: <p>
611: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
612: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
613: committed diff. They could reason about the past as
614: they proposed new changes.
615: <p>
616: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
617: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs. These
618: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
619: sufficient context to reason upon. Those who overwhelmed us
620: with good changes became developers with commit access. We
621: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
622: <p>
623: Some people said we would never last. Their cynicism
624: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
625: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
626: to embrace it also.

1.188 deraadt 969: As the author of a number of the OpenBSD songs, I'll admit that
970: sometimes it's a bit of a chore. Theo bugs me to help him out, often
971: with a theme, and eventually I relent and devote an evening to it.
972: <p>
973: One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
974: software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
975: OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
976: to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
977: others to follow our lead.
978: <p>
979: We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
980: individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
981: ports developers. We've had less success promoting things up through
982: standards bodies and other projects. Too often the world seems caught
983: up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
1.215 fcambus 984: exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate representation
1.188 deraadt 985: that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
986: cause expense.
987: <p>
988: This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
989: long. I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
990: standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being
991: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081847/https://lwn.net/Articles/563285/">

1111: an indivisible whole. In the ethics of OpenBSD on the other hand, most

1489: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
1490: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
1491: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
1492: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
1.214 bentley 1493: many times in OpenBSD — a decision is made by a few people to do
1.159 deraadt 1494: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
1495: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
1496: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
1497: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
1498: surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
1499: feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality.. Sort of like the
1500: song. A number of us have had many years like this in the last 20.

1610: No one <em>wants</em> to fork an open source project: it's a huge

1.144 deraadt 1690: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
1691: back to 1901. This is known as the
1692: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
1693: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
1694: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
1695: <p>
1.146 guenther 1696: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 1697: solve this.
1.146 guenther 1698: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
1699: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
1700: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
1701: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
1702: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 1703: <p>
1704: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 1705: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1706: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1707: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1708: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1709: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1710: <p>
1711: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1712: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1713: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1714: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1715: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1716: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1717: <p>
1718: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1719: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 1887: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
1888: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
1889: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
1890: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
1891: under particular Linux distributions.
1892: <p>
1893: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
1894: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
1895: <p>
1896: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
1897: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 1898: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
1899: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 1900: <p>
1901: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
1902: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1903: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
1904: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
1905: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
1906: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
1907: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 1908: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1.216 bentley 2241: the song about 4.2? Huh?
2242: <p>
1.123 deraadt 2243: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
2244: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
1.216 bentley 2245: release — they fought and managed to free the code.
2246: <p>
1.123 deraadt 2247: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
1.214 bentley 2248: including his favorite number — 42. Therefore we can remember
1.216 bentley 2249: the previous major achievement of CSRG — BSD 4.2.
2250: <p>
1.123 deraadt 2251: BSD 4.2 was
2252: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
2253: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
2254: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
1.214 bentley 2255: at this moment, to read this page — sockets, AF_INET,
1.216 bentley 2256: virtual memory, etc.
2257: <p>
1.123 deraadt 2258: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
1.216 bentley 2259: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.

1.104 deraadt 2662: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
2663: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 2664: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 2665: We recommend you read his story, entitled
2666: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
2667: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
2668: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
2669: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
2670: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
2671: probably not been read by enough people.
1.216 bentley 2672: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2673: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
2674: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
2675: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1.214 bentley 2676: of corporate pollution — and release it freely — is more interesting
1.104 deraadt 2677: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2678: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2679: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2680: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214 bentley 2681: lots of really evil lawyers back then too — were they not afraid?
1.216 bentley 2682: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2683: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2684: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2685: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2686: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2687: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2688: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2689: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2690: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214 bentley 2691: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor — people like
1.104 deraadt 2692: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1.216 bentley 2693: <p>
1.105 deraadt 2694: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2695: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214 bentley 2696: was given to the world in June 1991 — the largest dump of free source
2697: code the world had ever received (for those days — not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.216 bentley 2698: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2699: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2700: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2701: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2702: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2703: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2704: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2705: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2706: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.216 bentley 2707: <p>
1.104 deraadt 2708: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2709: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1.95 deraadt 2823: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2824: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2825: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2826: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2827: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2828: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2829: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2830: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2831: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2832: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1.216 bentley 2833: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by,
1.95 deraadt 2834: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1.216 bentley 2835: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2836: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2837: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2838: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2839: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1.214 bentley 2840: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him — and him
2841: alone — and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1.216 bentley 2842: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2843: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2844: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2845: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2846: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2847: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
2848: influence which he could use so falsely.
1.216 bentley 2849: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2850: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
2851: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2852: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2853: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2854: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2855: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2856: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2857: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
2858: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
2859: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
2860: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1.216 bentley 2861: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2862: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
2863: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
2864: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
2865: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
2866: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1.214 bentley 2867: GNU software — including Emacs — compiles and runs on Windows.
1.216 bentley 2868: <p>
1.95 deraadt 2869: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
2870: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
2871: follow their own stupid rules.

1.90 deraadt 2978: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2979: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2980: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2981: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2982: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2983: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2984: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2985: <p>
2986: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2987: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2988: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2989: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2990: led to other issues.
2991: <p>
2992: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2993: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2994: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2995: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2996: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2997: <p>
2998: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1.214 bentley 2999: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit — it remains a core goal;
1.90 deraadt 3000: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1.214 bentley 3001: from projects who talk about sharing — such as the various Linux
1.90 deraadt 3002: projects.
3003: <p>
3004: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
3005: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
3006: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
3007: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
3008: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
3009: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214 bentley 3010: — they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90 deraadt 3011: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
3012: not for their agenda.
3013: <p>
3014: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
3015: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
3016: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
3017: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

3115: <p>
1.81 deraadt 3116: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
3117: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
3118: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
3119: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
3120: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
3121: device support.
3122: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 3123: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 3124: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
3125: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
3126: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
3127: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
3128: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
3129: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
3130: weird, or even buggy.
3131: <p>
3132: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
3133: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
3134: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
3135: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
3136: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
3137: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 3138: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 3139: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
3140: OpenBSD, either).
3141: <p>
3142: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
3143: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
3144: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
3145: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
3146: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 3148: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
3149: <p>
1.82 jsg 3150: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 3151: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 3152: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
3153: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1.214 bentley 3154: communities — and their developers — with much less available clout for
1.81 deraadt 3155: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
3156: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
3157: would be fantastic by now.

1.63 deraadt 3489: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3490: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3491: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3492: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3493: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1.216 bentley 3494: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.
3495: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3496: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
1.216 bentley 3497: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.
3498: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3499: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3500: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3501: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1.216 bentley 3502: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.
1.63 deraadt 3503: <ul>
1.216 bentley 3504: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors at any time.
3505: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.
3506: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.
3507: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.
3508: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.
3509: <li>Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus less portable.
3510: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.

1.216 bentley 3512: <p>
1.63 deraadt 3513: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
3514: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
3515: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3516: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3517: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 3518: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

3655: <div class=commentary>
3656: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3657: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
3658: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
3659: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
3660: their devices.
3661: <p>
3662: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
3663: for the
1.204 tb 3664: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3665: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
3666: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
3667: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3668: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3669: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3670: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3671: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3672: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3673: <p>
3674: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3675: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3676: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3677: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214 bentley 3678: development model — it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58 deraadt 3679: "quality" to show its head.
3680: <p>
3681: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3682: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3683: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3684: <li>Repair
3685: </ul>
1.216 bentley 3686: <p>
1.58 deraadt 3687: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3688: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3689: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3690: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3691: <p>
3692: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3693: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3694: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3695: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3696: <p>
3697: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3698: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3699: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3700: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3701: <p>
3702: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3703: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3704: the AMI controllers.
3705: <p>
3706: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3707: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3708: basic RAID management:
3709: <ul>
3710: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3711: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3712: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3713: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3714: </ul>
3715: <p>
3716: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3717: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3718: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3719: <p>
3720: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3721: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3722: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3723: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3724: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3725: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3726: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3727: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3728: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3729: controllers.
3730: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3731: would not get documentation, either.
3732: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3733: look saintly.
3734: <p>
3735: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3736: in OpenBSD, please buy
1.216 bentley 3737: LSI/AMI RAID cards. And everything

3844: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3845: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1.216 bentley 3846: good device support.
3847: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3848: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3849: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3850: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3851: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3852: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3853: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3854: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3855: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3856: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216 bentley 3857: solved in the ethernet market.
3858: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3859: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3860: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3861: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3862: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3863: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3864: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1.216 bentley 3865: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.
3866: <p>
3867: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.
3868: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3869: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3870: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3871: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3872: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3873: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1.216 bentley 3874: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.
3875: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3876: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3877: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3878: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3879: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3880: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3881: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3882: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.204 tb 3883: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
3884: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

3887: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3888: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3889: which chipsets into which product.
1.216 bentley 3890: <p>
1.44 deraadt 3891: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3892: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3893: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3894: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3895: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3896: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3897: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 3898: development information for all, but are even going further and
3899: telling their development communities to not work with us at

1.37 deraadt 4002: What is up with some free software providers?!
4003: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
4004: <p>
4005: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
4006: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
4007: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 4008: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 4009: going to remember them in the end.
4010: <p>
4011: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
4012: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
4013: offerings in the last few years:
4014: <ul>
4015: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
4016: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
4017: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
4018: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
4019: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
4020: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
4021: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
4022: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 4023: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 4024: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
4025: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
4026: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
4027: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
4028: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
4029: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
4030: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
4031: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
4032: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
4033: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 4034: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 4035: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 4036: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
4037: </ul>
1.216 bentley 4038: <p>
1.37 deraadt 4039: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
4040: others who will follow them:
4041: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
4042: replace it.

4058: He said my water's good n' my water's free<br>
4059: So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me!<br>
4060: Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine"<br>
4061: They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time!<br>

4077: Well things were good fer a spell in town<br>

4086: <p>
4087: <br>
4088: "The water's fine on the Open range"<br>

4161: <p>
1.30 deraadt 4162: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
4163: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
4164: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
4165: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
4166: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
4167: <p>
4168: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.204 tb 4169: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4170: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
4171: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
4172: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
4173: sessions. Our
1.204 tb 4174: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4175: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
4176: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
4177: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
4178: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
4179: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
4180: <p>
4181: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
4182: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
4183: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
4184: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 4185: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 4186: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
4187: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
4188: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
4189: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
4190: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
4191: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 4192: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 4193: There was much deliberation</a>
4194: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
4195: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1.214 bentley 4196: standards — as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1.30 deraadt 4197: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
4198: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
4199: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
4200: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
4201: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
4202: eh?
4203: <p>
4204: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
4205: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
4206: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1.214 bentley 4207: — a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1.30 deraadt 4208: claim patent rights.
4209: <p>
4210: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
4211: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1.214 bentley 4212: its patents for VRRP implementations — meaning basically that it was
1.30 deraadt 4213: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
4214: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
4215: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
4216: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
4217: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
4218: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 4219: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 4220: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
4221: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
4222: <p>
4223: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
4224: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
4225: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
4226: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1.214 bentley 4227: avoid it — the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 4228: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 4229: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
4230: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
4231: like all others, except against the community.
4232: <p>
4233: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
4234: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
4235: <p>
4236: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
4237: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
4238: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
4239: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
4240: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
4241: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
4242: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
4243: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
4244: it to use cryptography.
4245: <p>
4246: The combination of
1.204 tb 4247: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
4248: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
4249: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 4250: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
4251: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
4252: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
4253: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
4254: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
4255: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
4256: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
4257: <p>
4258: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
4259: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
4260: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
4261: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
4262: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
4263: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
4264: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
4265: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
4266: <p>
4267: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
4268: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.26 deraadt 4557: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 4558: forces of the draconian government!
4559: <p>
4560: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4561: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4562: of recent happenings.
4563: <p>
4564: Two years ago we became involved with the University
4565: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
4566: security research and development .. on things that
4567: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4568: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4569: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4570: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4571: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4572: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4573: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214 bentley 4574: than funding — heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4575: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4576: <p>
4577: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4578: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4579: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4580: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4581: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4582: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4583: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4584: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4585: theft of oil.
4586: <p>
4587: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4588: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4589: <p>
4590: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4591: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4592: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4593: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4594: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4595: the project."
4596: <p>
4597: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4598: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4599: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4600: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4601: <p>
4602: Since the termination came near natural contract
4603: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4604: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4605: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4606: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4607: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4608: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4609: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4610: <p>
4611: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4612: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4613: of Robin Hood.
