1.22      deraadt    58:
1.14      deraadt    59: OpenBSD believes in strong security.  Our aspiration is to be NUMBER
1.22      deraadt    60: ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there).  Our
                     61: open software development model permits us to take a more
                     62: uncompromising view towards increased security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP,
                     63: or other vendors are able to.  We can make changes the vendors would
1.27      deraadt    64: not make.  Also, since OpenBSD is exported with <a href=crypto.html>
1.45      deraadt    65: cryptography</a>, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards
                     66: fixing security problems.<p>

1.106     deraadt    68: <a name=disclosure></a>
1.110     deraadt    69: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Full Disclosure</font></h3><p>
1.106     deraadt    70:
1.45      deraadt    71: Like many readers of the
1.196     jufi       72: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">
1.18      deraadt    73: BUGTRAQ mailing list</a>,
1.106     deraadt    74: we believe in full disclosure of security problems.  In the
                     75: operating system arena, we were probably the first to embrace
                     76: the concept.  Many vendors, even of free software, still try
                     77: to hide issues from their users.<p>
                     78:
                     79: Security information moves very fast in cracker circles.  On the other
                     80: hand, our experience is that coding and releasing of proper security
                     81: fixes typically requires about an hour of work -- very fast fix
                     82: turnaround is possible.  Thus we think that full disclosure helps the
                     83: people who really care about security.<p>
                     84:

1.15      deraadt    87:
1.12      deraadt    88: Our security auditing team typically has between six and twelve
1.45      deraadt    89: members who continue to search for and fix new security holes.  We
                     90: have been auditing since the summer of 1996.  The process we follow to
                     91: increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of
1.106     deraadt    92: every critical software component.  We are not so much looking for
                     93: security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if
1.138     deraadt    94: years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security
1.106     deraadt    95: issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the
                     96: better.  Flaws have been found in just about every area of the system.
                     97: Entire new classes of security problems have been found during our
                     98: audit, and often source code which had been audited earlier needs
                     99: re-auditing with these new flaws in mind.  Code often gets audited
                    100: multiple times, and by multiple people with different auditing
                    101: skills.<p>
1.12      deraadt   102:
1.94      deraadt   103: Some members of our security auditing team worked for Secure Networks,
                    104: the company that made the industry's premier network security scanning
                    105: software package Ballista (Secure Networks got purchased by Network
                    106: Associates, Ballista got renamed to Cybercop Scanner, and well...)
                    107: That company did a lot of security research, and thus fit in well
1.106     deraadt   108: with the OpenBSD stance.  OpenBSD passed Ballista's tests with flying
                    109: colours since day 1.<p>
1.31      deraadt   110:
1.34      deraadt   111: Another facet of our security auditing process is its proactiveness.
1.45      deraadt   112: In most cases we have found that the determination of exploitability
                    113: is not an issue.  During our ongoing auditing process we find many
                    114: bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is not
                    115: proven.  We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to fix.  We
                    116: have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming errors in code
                    117: and only months later discovered that the problems were in fact
                    118: exploitable.  (Or, more likely someone on
1.197     jufi      119: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>
1.45      deraadt   120: would report that other operating systems were vulnerable to a `newly
                    121: discovered problem', and then it would be discovered that OpenBSD had
                    122: been fixed in a previous release).  In other cases we have been saved
                    123: from full exploitability of complex step-by-step attacks because we
                    124: had fixed one of the intermediate steps.  An example of where we
1.94      deraadt   125: managed such a success is the lpd advisory that Secure Networks put out.

1.106     deraadt   129:
1.45      deraadt   130: Our proactive auditing process has really paid off.  Statements like
1.35      deraadt   131: ``This problem was fixed in OpenBSD about 6 months ago'' have become
1.45      deraadt   132: commonplace in security forums like
1.197     jufi      133: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>.<p>
1.35      deraadt   134:
1.45      deraadt   135: The most intense part of our security auditing happened immediately
1.80      espie     136: before the OpenBSD 2.0 release and during the 2.0-&gt;2.1 transition,
1.45      deraadt   137: over the last third of 1996 and first half of 1997.  Thousands (yes,
                    138: thousands) of security issues were fixed rapidly over this year-long
                    139: period; bugs like the standard buffer overflows, protocol
                    140: implementation weaknesses, information gathering, and filesystem
                    141: races.  Hence most of the security problems that we encountered were
                    142: fixed before our 2.1 release, and then a far smaller number needed
                    143: fixing for our 2.2 release.  We do not find as many problems anymore,
                    144: it is simply a case of diminishing returns.  Recently the security
                    145: problems we find and fix tend to be significantly more obscure or
                    146: complicated.  Still we will persist for a number of reasons:<p>
1.36      deraadt   147:

1.45      deraadt   149: <li>Occasionally we find a simple problem we missed earlier. Doh!
1.35      deraadt   150: <li>Security is like an arms race; the best attackers will continue
1.45      deraadt   151:        to search for more complicated exploits, so we will too.
                    152: <li>Finding and fixing subtle flaws in complicated software is
                    153:        a lot of fun.
