! 206: write free software, express our themes in art, and the 5 years
! 207: that we have made music with a group of talented musicians.

322: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
323: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
324: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
325: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
326: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
327: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
328: <br>
329: <br>
330: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
331: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
332: <br>
333: <br>
334: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
335: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
336: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
337: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
338: <br>
339: <br>
340: <ul>
341: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
342: at any time.<br>
343: <br>
344: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
345: <br>
346: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
347: <br>
348: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
349: <br>
350: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
351: <br>
352: <li>
353: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
354: less portable.<br>
355: <br>
356: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
357: </ul>
358: <br>
359: <br>
360: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
361: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
362: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
363: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
364: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
365: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

507: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
508: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
509: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
510: their devices.
511: <p>
512: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
513: for the
1.70 steven 514: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 515: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
516: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
517: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
518: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
519: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 520: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
521: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
522: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 523: <p>
524: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
525: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
526: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
527: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
528: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
529: "quality" to show its head.
530: <p>
531: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
532: <br>
533: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 534: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 535: <li>Repair
536: </ul>
537: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 538: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
539: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 540: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
541: <p>
542: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
543: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
544: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
545: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
546: <p>
547: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
548: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 549: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 550: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
551: <p>
552: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
553: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
554: the AMI controllers.
555: <p>
556: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
557: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
558: basic RAID management:
559: <ul>
560: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
561: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
562: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
563: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
564: </ul>
565: <p>
566: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
567: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
568: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
569: <p>
570: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
571: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
572: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
573: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 574: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
575: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 576: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
577: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 578: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 579: controllers.
580: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
581: would not get documentation, either.
582: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
583: look saintly.
584: <p>
585: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
586: in OpenBSD, please buy
587: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

687: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
688: good device support.<br>
689: <br>
690: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
691: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
692: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
693: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
694: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
695: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
696: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
697: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 698: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 699: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 700: <br>
701: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
702: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
703: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
704: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
705: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
706: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
707: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
708: <br>
709: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
710: <br>
711: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
712: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
713: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 714: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 715: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
716: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
717: <br>
718:
719: Want to help us? Avoid
720: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
721: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
722: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 723: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 724: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 725: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 726: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,

730: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
731: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 732: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 733: <br>
734: <br>
735: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 736: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 737: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
738: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
739: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
740: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 741: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

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

851: <p>
852: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which

857: <p>
858: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
859: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
860: offerings in the last few years:
861: <ul>
862: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
863: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
864: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
865: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
866: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
867: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
868: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
869: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 870: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 871: <p>
872: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
873: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
874: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
875: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
876: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
877: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
878: <p>
879: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
880: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
881: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
882: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 883: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 884: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 885: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
886: </ul>
887: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
888: others who will follow them:
889: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
890: replace it.

1015: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
1016: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
1017: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
1018: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
1019: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
1020: <p>
1021: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1022: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1023: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
1024: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
1025: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
1026: sessions. Our
1027: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1028: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
1029: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
1030: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
1031: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
1032: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
1033: <p>
1034: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
1035: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
1036: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
1037: Redundancy Protocol); on
1038: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1039: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
1040: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
1041: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
1042: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
1043: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
1044: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1045: <a href="http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/documents/standards/general-comms/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1046: There was much deliberation</a>
1047: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
1048: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1049: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1050: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
1051: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
1052: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
1053: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
1054: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
1055: eh?
1056: <p>
1057: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
1058: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
1059: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1060: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1061: claim patent rights.
1062: <p>
1063: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
1064: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1065: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
1066: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
1067: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
1068: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
1069: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
1070: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
1071: members took note of our complaints,
1072: <a href="http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1073: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
1074: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
1075: <p>
1076: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
1077: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
1078: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
1079: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1080: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 1081: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 1082: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
1083: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
1084: like all others, except against the community.
1085: <p>
1086: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
1087: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
1088: <p>
1089: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
1090: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
1091: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
1092: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
1093: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
1094: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
1095: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
1096: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
1097: it to use cryptography.
1098: <p>
1099: The combination of
1100: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
1101: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
1102: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1103: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
1104: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
1105: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
1106: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
1107: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
1108: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
1109: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
1110: <p>
1111: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
1112: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
1113: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
1114: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
1115: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
1116: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
1117: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
1118: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
1119: <p>
1120: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
1121: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1413: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 1414: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 1415: forces of the draconian government!
1416: <p>
1417: <br>
1418: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
1419: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
1420: of recent happenings.
1421: <p>
1422: Two years ago we became involved with the University
1423: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
1424: security research and development .. on things that
1425: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
1426: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
1427: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
1428: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
1429: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
1430: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
1431: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 1432: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 1433: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
1434: <p>
1435: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
1436: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
1437: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1438: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 1439: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 1440: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 1441: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 1442: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
1443: theft of oil.
1444: <p>
1445: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
1446: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
1447: <p>
1448: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
1449: project, and due to world events and the evolving
1450: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
1451: the Government on April 21 advised the University
1452: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
1453: the project."
1454: <p>
1455: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
1456: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
1457: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
1458: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
1459: <p>
1460: Since the termination came near natural contract
1461: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
1462: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
1463: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
1464: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 1465: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 1466: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
1467: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
1468: <p>
1469: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
1470: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
1471: of Robin Hood.
