1.110 deraadt 62: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Goal</font></h3><p>
1.22 deraadt 63:
1.14 deraadt 64: OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER
1.22 deraadt 65: ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there). Our
66: open software development model permits us to take a more
67: uncompromising view towards increased security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP,
68: or other vendors are able to. We can make changes the vendors would
1.27 deraadt 69: not make. Also, since OpenBSD is exported with <a href=crypto.html>
1.45 deraadt 70: cryptography</a>, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards
71: fixing security problems.<p>
1.18 deraadt 72:
1.288 ! matthieu 73: <a name="disclosure"></a>
1.110 deraadt 74: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Full Disclosure</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 75:
1.45 deraadt 76: Like many readers of the
1.196 jufi 77: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">
1.18 deraadt 78: BUGTRAQ mailing list</a>,
1.106 deraadt 79: we believe in full disclosure of security problems. In the
80: operating system arena, we were probably the first to embrace
81: the concept. Many vendors, even of free software, still try
82: to hide issues from their users.<p>
83:
84: Security information moves very fast in cracker circles. On the other
85: hand, our experience is that coding and releasing of proper security
86: fixes typically requires about an hour of work -- very fast fix
87: turnaround is possible. Thus we think that full disclosure helps the
88: people who really care about security.<p>
89:
1.288 ! matthieu 90: <a name="process"></a>
1.110 deraadt 91: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Audit Process</font></h3><p>
1.15 deraadt 92:
1.12 deraadt 93: Our security auditing team typically has between six and twelve
1.45 deraadt 94: members who continue to search for and fix new security holes. We
95: have been auditing since the summer of 1996. The process we follow to
96: increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of
1.106 deraadt 97: every critical software component. We are not so much looking for
98: security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if
1.138 deraadt 99: years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security
1.106 deraadt 100: issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the
101: better. Flaws have been found in just about every area of the system.
102: Entire new classes of security problems have been found during our
103: audit, and often source code which had been audited earlier needs
104: re-auditing with these new flaws in mind. Code often gets audited
105: multiple times, and by multiple people with different auditing
106: skills.<p>
1.12 deraadt 107:
1.94 deraadt 108: Some members of our security auditing team worked for Secure Networks,
109: the company that made the industry's premier network security scanning
110: software package Ballista (Secure Networks got purchased by Network
111: Associates, Ballista got renamed to Cybercop Scanner, and well...)
112: That company did a lot of security research, and thus fit in well
1.106 deraadt 113: with the OpenBSD stance. OpenBSD passed Ballista's tests with flying
114: colours since day 1.<p>
1.31 deraadt 115:
1.34 deraadt 116: Another facet of our security auditing process is its proactiveness.
1.45 deraadt 117: In most cases we have found that the determination of exploitability
118: is not an issue. During our ongoing auditing process we find many
119: bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is not
120: proven. We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to fix. We
121: have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming errors in code
122: and only months later discovered that the problems were in fact
123: exploitable. (Or, more likely someone on
1.197 jufi 124: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>
1.45 deraadt 125: would report that other operating systems were vulnerable to a `newly
126: discovered problem', and then it would be discovered that OpenBSD had
127: been fixed in a previous release). In other cases we have been saved
128: from full exploitability of complex step-by-step attacks because we
129: had fixed one of the intermediate steps. An example of where we
1.94 deraadt 130: managed such a success is the lpd advisory that Secure Networks put out.

1.278 deraadt 134: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>New Technologies</font></h3><p>
135:
136: As we audit source code, we often invent new ways of solving problems.
137: Sometimes these ideas have been used before in some random application
138: written somewhere, but perhaps not taken to the degree that we do.

1.110 deraadt 161: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>The Reward</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 162:
1.45 deraadt 163: Our proactive auditing process has really paid off. Statements like
1.35 deraadt 164: ``This problem was fixed in OpenBSD about 6 months ago'' have become
1.45 deraadt 165: commonplace in security forums like
1.197 jufi 166: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>.<p>
1.35 deraadt 167:
1.45 deraadt 168: The most intense part of our security auditing happened immediately
1.80 espie 169: before the OpenBSD 2.0 release and during the 2.0->2.1 transition,
1.45 deraadt 170: over the last third of 1996 and first half of 1997. Thousands (yes,
171: thousands) of security issues were fixed rapidly over this year-long
172: period; bugs like the standard buffer overflows, protocol
173: implementation weaknesses, information gathering, and filesystem
174: races. Hence most of the security problems that we encountered were
175: fixed before our 2.1 release, and then a far smaller number needed
176: fixing for our 2.2 release. We do not find as many problems anymore,
177: it is simply a case of diminishing returns. Recently the security
178: problems we find and fix tend to be significantly more obscure or
179: complicated. Still we will persist for a number of reasons:<p>
1.36 deraadt 180:
1.35 deraadt 181: <ul>
1.45 deraadt 182: <li>Occasionally we find a simple problem we missed earlier. Doh!
1.35 deraadt 183: <li>Security is like an arms race; the best attackers will continue
1.45 deraadt 184: to search for more complicated exploits, so we will too.
185: <li>Finding and fixing subtle flaws in complicated software is
186: a lot of fun.
1.35 deraadt 187: </ul>
1.106 deraadt 188: <p>
1.15 deraadt 189:
1.14 deraadt 190: The auditing process is not over yet, and as you can see we continue
1.28 deraadt 191: to find and fix new security flaws.<p>
1.12 deraadt 192:

1.110 deraadt 194: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>"Secure by Default"</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 195:
196: To ensure that novice users of OpenBSD do not need to become security
197: experts overnight (a viewpoint which other vendors seem to have), we
198: ship the operating system in a Secure by Default mode. All non-essential
199: services are disabled. As the user/administrator becomes more familiar
200: with the system, he will discover that he has to enable daemons and other
201: parts of the system. During the process of learning how to enable a new
202: service, the novice is more likely to learn of security considerations.<p>
203:
204: This is in stark contrast to the increasing number of systems that
205: ship with NFS, mountd, web servers, and various other services enabled
206: by default, creating instantaneous security problems for their users
207: within minutes after their first install.<p>

212: And of course, since the OpenBSD project is based in Canada, it is possible
213: for us to integrate cryptography. For more information, read the page

1.23 deraadt 1155: eye out for things which appear security related. Since
1.21 deraadt 1156: exploitability is not proven for many of the fixes we make,
1157: do not expect the relevant commit message to say "SECURITY FIX!".
1158: If a problem is proven and serious, a patch will be available
1159: here very shortly after.
1.161 horacio 1160: <li>In addition to source changes, you can watch our <a href="mail.html">

1.160 ericj 1163: and instruct you on how to patch the problem.
1.21 deraadt 1164: <li>Track our current source code tree, and teach yourself how to do a
1.29 deraadt 1165: complete system build from time to time (read /usr/src/Makefile
1166: carefully). Users can make the assumption that the current
