! 55: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
! 56: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
! 57: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
! 58: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
! 59: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
! 60: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
! 61: <br>
! 62: <br>
! 63: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
! 64: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
! 65: <br>
! 66: <br>
! 67: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
! 68: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
! 69: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
! 70: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
! 71: <br>
! 72: <br>
! 73: <ul>
! 74: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
! 75: at any time.<br>
! 76: <br>
! 77: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
! 78: <br>
! 79: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
! 80: <br>
! 81: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
! 82: <br>
! 83: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
! 84: <br>
! 85: <li>
! 86: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
! 87: less portable.<br>
! 88: <br>
! 89: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
! 90: </ul>
! 91: <br>
! 92: <br>
! 93: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
! 94: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
! 95: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
! 96: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
! 97: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
! 98: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

237: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
238: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
239: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
240: their devices.
241: <p>
242: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
243: for the
244: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
245: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
246: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
247: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
248: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
249: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 250: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
251: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
252: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 253: <p>
254: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
255: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
256: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
257: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
258: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
259: "quality" to show its head.
260: <p>
261: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
262: <br>
263: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 264: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 265: <li>Repair
266: </ul>
267: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 268: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
269: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 270: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
271: <p>
272: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
273: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
274: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
275: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
276: <p>
277: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
278: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
279: is supposed to work through a bizzare interface in the device driver, which
280: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
281: <p>
282: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
283: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
284: the AMI controllers.
285: <p>
286: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
287: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
288: basic RAID management:
289: <ul>
290: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
291: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
292: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
293: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
294: </ul>
295: <p>
296: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
297: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
298: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
299: <p>
300: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
301: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
302: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
303: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 304: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
305: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 306: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
307: may mean we can never get documentation for the
308: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
309: controllers.
310: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
311: would not get documentation, either.
312: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
313: look saintly.
314: <p>
315: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
316: in OpenBSD, please buy
317: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
318: RAID cards. And everything
319: <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=112630095818062&w=2">
320: will just work</a>.
321: <p>
322: And keep pestering the other vendors.

415: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
416: good device support.<br>
417: <br>
418: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
419: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
420: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
421: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
422: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
423: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
424: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
425: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 426: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 427: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 428: <br>
429: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
430: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
431: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
432: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
433: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
434: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
435: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
436: <br>
437: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
438: <br>
439: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
440: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
441: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 442: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 443: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
444: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>

575: What is up with some free software providers?!
576: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
577: <p>
578: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
579: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
580: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 581: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 582: going to remember them in the end.
583: <p>
584: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
585: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
586: offerings in the last few years:
587: <ul>
588: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
589: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
590: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
591: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
592: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
593: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
594: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
595: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 596: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 597: <p>
598: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
599: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
600: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
601: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
602: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
603: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
604: <p>
605: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
606: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
607: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
608: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 609: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 610: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 611: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
612: </ul>
613: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
614: others who will follow them:
615: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
616: replace it.

739: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
740: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
741: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
742: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
743: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
744: <p>
745: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
746: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
747: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
748: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
749: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
750: sessions. Our
751: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
752: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
753: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
754: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
755: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
756: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
757: <p>
758: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
759: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
760: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
761: Redundancy Protocol); on
762: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
763: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
764: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
765: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
766: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
767: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
768: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
769: <a href="http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/documents/standards/general-comms/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
770: There was much deliberation</a>
771: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
772: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
773: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
774: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
775: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
776: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
777: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
778: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
779: eh?
780: <p>
781: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
782: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
783: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
784: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
785: claim patent rights.
786: <p>
787: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
788: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
789: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
790: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
791: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
792: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
793: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
794: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
795: members took note of our complaints,
796: <a href="http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
797: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
798: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
799: <p>
800: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
801: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
802: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
803: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
804: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 805: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 806: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
807: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
808: like all others, except against the community.
809: <p>
810: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
811: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
812: <p>
813: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
814: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
815: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
816: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
817: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
818: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
819: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
820: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
821: it to use cryptography.
822: <p>
823: The combination of
824: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
825: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
826: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
827: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
828: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
829: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
830: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
831: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
832: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
833: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
834: <p>
835: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
836: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
837: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
838: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
839: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
840: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
841: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
842: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
843: <p>
844: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
845: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.26 deraadt 1136: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 1137: forces of the draconian government!
1138: <p>
1139: <br>
1140: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
1141: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
1142: of recent happenings.
1143: <p>
1144: Two years ago we became involved with the University
1145: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
1146: security research and development .. on things that
1147: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
1148: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
1149: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
1150: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
1151: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
1152: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
1153: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 1154: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 1155: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
1156: <p>
1157: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
1158: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
1159: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1160: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1161: this sudden manuevre. Apparently this hoopla happened
1162: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 1163: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 1164: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
1165: theft of oil.
1166: <p>
1167: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
1168: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
1169: <p>
1170: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
1171: project, and due to world events and the evolving
1172: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
1173: the Government on April 21 advised the University
1174: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
1175: the project."
1176: <p>
1177: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
1178: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
1179: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
1180: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
1181: <p>
1182: Since the termination came near natural contract
1183: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
1184: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
1185: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
1186: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 1187: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 1188: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
1189: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
1190: <p>
1191: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
1192: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
1193: of Robin Hood.
