<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD 2.1 Security Advisories</font></h3> |
<h3><font color=#e00000><strong>OpenBSD Security Views</strong></font></h3> |
|
OpenBSD believes very strongly in strong security. We believe that we are |
|
NUMBER ONE in the industry at the moment. Due to our open software |
|
development model, we are able to take a more uncompromising view towards |
|
increasing security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP, or other vendors are able to. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Our security auditing team typically has between six and twelve |
|
members, and most of us continually search for and fix security holes. |
|
We have been auditing for approximately two years. The process we |
|
followed to increase security was simply a comprehensive file-by-file |
|
analysis of every critical software component. Flaws were found in |
|
just about every area of the system. Entire new classes of security |
|
problems were found while we were doing the audit, and in many cases |
|
source code which had been audited earlier had to be re-audited with |
|
these new flaws in mind. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
The process is not over yet, and as you can see we continue to find and |
|
fix new security flaws. |
