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

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

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

1.44 deraadt 473: to send a message.

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

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

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

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

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

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

935: <br>
936: <font color="#b00000">Licenser:</font>

959: <br>
960: <font color="#b00000">Licenser:</font>

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

1011: There's nothing so odd about that. I'm sure they patented this

1.26 deraadt 1157: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 1158: forces of the draconian government!
1159: <p>
1160: <br>
1161: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
1162: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
1163: of recent happenings.
1164: <p>
1165: Two years ago we became involved with the University
1166: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
1167: security research and development .. on things that
1168: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
1169: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
1170: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
1171: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
1172: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
1173: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
1174: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 1175: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 1176: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
1177: <p>
1178: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
1179: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
1180: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1181: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 1182: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 1183: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 1184: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 1185: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
1186: theft of oil.
1187: <p>
1188: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
1189: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
1190: <p>
1191: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
1192: project, and due to world events and the evolving
1193: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
1194: the Government on April 21 advised the University
1195: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
1196: the project."
1197: <p>
1198: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
1199: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
1200: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
1201: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
1202: <p>
1203: Since the termination came near natural contract
1204: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
1205: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
1206: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
1207: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 1208: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 1209: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
1210: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
1211: <p>
1212: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
1213: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
1214: of Robin Hood.
