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

257: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
258: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
259: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
260: their devices.
261: <p>
262: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
263: for the
1.70 steven 264: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 265: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
266: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
267: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
268: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
269: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 270: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
271: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
272: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 273: <p>
274: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
275: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
276: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
277: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
278: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
279: "quality" to show its head.
280: <p>
281: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
282: <br>
283: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 284: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 285: <li>Repair
286: </ul>
287: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 288: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
289: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 290: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
291: <p>
292: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
293: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
294: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
295: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
296: <p>
297: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
298: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 299: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 300: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
301: <p>
302: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
303: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
304: the AMI controllers.
305: <p>
306: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
307: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
308: basic RAID management:
309: <ul>
310: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
311: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
312: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
313: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
314: </ul>
315: <p>
316: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
317: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
318: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
319: <p>
320: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
321: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
322: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
323: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 324: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
325: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 326: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
327: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 328: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 329: controllers.
330: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
331: would not get documentation, either.
332: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
333: look saintly.
334: <p>
335: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
336: in OpenBSD, please buy
337: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

1.46 henning 447: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 448: <br>
449: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
450: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
451: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
452: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
453: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
454: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
455: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
456: <br>
457: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
458: <br>
459: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
460: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
461: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 462: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 463: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
464: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
465: <br>
466:
467: Want to help us? Avoid
468: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
469: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
470: Heck, avoid buying even regular

1.44 deraadt 472: to send a message.

475: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

478: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
479: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 480: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 481: <br>
482: <br>
483: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 484: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 485: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
486: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
487: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
488: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 489: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 490: development information for all, but are even going further and
491: telling their development communities to not work with us at
492: pressuring vendors. It is ridiculous.

595: What is up with some free software providers?!
596: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
597: <p>
598: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
599: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
600: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 601: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 602: going to remember them in the end.
603: <p>
604: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
605: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
606: offerings in the last few years:
607: <ul>
608: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
609: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
610: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
611: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
612: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
613: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
614: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
615: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 616: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 617: <p>
618: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
619: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
620: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
621: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
622: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
623: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
624: <p>
625: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
626: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
627: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
628: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 629: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 630: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 631: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
632: </ul>
633: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
634: others who will follow them:
635: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
636: replace it.

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

877: A what?
878: <br>
879: <font color="#b00000">Customer:</font>
880: A license for my network redundancy protocol, CARP.
881: <br>
882: <font color="#b00000">Licenser:</font>
883: Well, it's free isn't it?
884: <br>
885: <font color="#b00000">Customer:</font>
886: Exactly, the protocol's name is CARP. CARP the redundancy protocol.
887: <br>
888: <font color="#b00000">Licenser:</font>
889: What?
890: <br>
891: <font color="#b00000">Customer:</font>

899: they were all too... encumbered. And now I must license it!

902: You must be a looney.
903: <br>
904: <font color="#b00000">Customer:</font>
905: I am not a looney! Why should I be tied with the epithet looney merely
906: because I wish to protect my redundancy protocol? I've heard tell
907: that Network Associates has a pet algorithm called RSA used in IETF
908: standards, and you wouldn't call them a looney; Geoworks has a claim
909: on WAP, after what their lawyers do to you if you try to implement it.
910: Cisco has two redundant patents, both encumbered, and Cadtrack has a
911: patent on cursor movement! So, if you're calling the large American
912: companies that fork out millions of dollars for the use of XOR a
913: bunch of looneys, I shall have to ask you to step outside!
914: <br>
915: <font color="#b00000">Licenser:</font>

985: Cizzz-coeee?
986: <br>
987: <font color="#b00000">Customer:</font>
988: It was spelt like that on the van. I'm very observant! I never seen
989: so many bleeding aerials. The man said that their equipment could
990: pinpoint a failover configuration at 400 yards! And my Cisco router,
991: being such a flappy bat, was a piece of cake.

1.26 deraadt 1156: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 1157: forces of the draconian government!
1158: <p>
1159: <br>
1160: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
1161: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
1162: of recent happenings.
1163: <p>
1164: Two years ago we became involved with the University
1165: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
1166: security research and development .. on things that
1167: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
1168: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
1169: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
1170: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
1171: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
1172: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
1173: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 1174: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 1175: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
1176: <p>
1177: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
1178: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
1179: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1180: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 1181: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 1182: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 1183: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 1184: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
1185: theft of oil.
1186: <p>
1187: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
1188: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
1189: <p>
1190: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
1191: project, and due to world events and the evolving
1192: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
1193: the Government on April 21 advised the University
1194: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
1195: the project."
1196: <p>
1197: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
1198: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
1199: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
1200: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
1201: <p>
1202: Since the termination came near natural contract
1203: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
1204: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
1205: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
1206: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 1207: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 1208: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
1209: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
1210: <p>
1211: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
1212: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
1213: of Robin Hood.
