1.294 david 86: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">Goal</font></h3><p>
1.22 deraadt 87:
1.14 deraadt 88: OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER
1.22 deraadt 89: ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there). Our
90: open software development model permits us to take a more
91: uncompromising view towards increased security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP,
92: or other vendors are able to. We can make changes the vendors would
1.27 deraadt 93: not make. Also, since OpenBSD is exported with <a href=crypto.html>
1.45 deraadt 94: cryptography</a>, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards
95: fixing security problems.<p>
1.18 deraadt 96:
1.288 matthieu 97: <a name="disclosure"></a>
1.294 david 98: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">Full Disclosure</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 99:
1.45 deraadt 100: Like many readers of the
1.196 jufi 101: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">
1.18 deraadt 102: BUGTRAQ mailing list</a>,
1.106 deraadt 103: we believe in full disclosure of security problems. In the
104: operating system arena, we were probably the first to embrace
105: the concept. Many vendors, even of free software, still try
106: to hide issues from their users.<p>
107:
108: Security information moves very fast in cracker circles. On the other
109: hand, our experience is that coding and releasing of proper security
110: fixes typically requires about an hour of work -- very fast fix
111: turnaround is possible. Thus we think that full disclosure helps the
112: people who really care about security.<p>
113:
1.288 matthieu 114: <a name="process"></a>
1.294 david 115: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">Audit Process</font></h3><p>
1.15 deraadt 116:
1.12 deraadt 117: Our security auditing team typically has between six and twelve
1.45 deraadt 118: members who continue to search for and fix new security holes. We
119: have been auditing since the summer of 1996. The process we follow to
120: increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of
1.106 deraadt 121: every critical software component. We are not so much looking for
122: security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if
1.138 deraadt 123: years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security
1.106 deraadt 124: issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the
125: better. Flaws have been found in just about every area of the system.
126: Entire new classes of security problems have been found during our
127: audit, and often source code which had been audited earlier needs
128: re-auditing with these new flaws in mind. Code often gets audited
129: multiple times, and by multiple people with different auditing
130: skills.<p>
1.12 deraadt 131:
1.94 deraadt 132: Some members of our security auditing team worked for Secure Networks,
133: the company that made the industry's premier network security scanning
134: software package Ballista (Secure Networks got purchased by Network
135: Associates, Ballista got renamed to Cybercop Scanner, and well...)
136: That company did a lot of security research, and thus fit in well
1.106 deraadt 137: with the OpenBSD stance. OpenBSD passed Ballista's tests with flying
138: colours since day 1.<p>
1.31 deraadt 139:
1.34 deraadt 140: Another facet of our security auditing process is its proactiveness.
1.45 deraadt 141: In most cases we have found that the determination of exploitability
142: is not an issue. During our ongoing auditing process we find many
143: bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is not
144: proven. We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to fix. We
145: have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming errors in code
146: and only months later discovered that the problems were in fact
147: exploitable. (Or, more likely someone on
1.197 jufi 148: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>
1.45 deraadt 149: would report that other operating systems were vulnerable to a `newly
150: discovered problem', and then it would be discovered that OpenBSD had
151: been fixed in a previous release). In other cases we have been saved
152: from full exploitability of complex step-by-step attacks because we
153: had fixed one of the intermediate steps. An example of where we
1.94 deraadt 154: managed such a success is the lpd advisory that Secure Networks put out.

1.278 deraadt 159:
160: As we audit source code, we often invent new ways of solving problems.
161: Sometimes these ideas have been used before in some random application
162: written somewhere, but perhaps not taken to the degree that we do.

1.294 david 185: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">The Reward</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 186:
1.45 deraadt 187: Our proactive auditing process has really paid off. Statements like
1.35 deraadt 188: ``This problem was fixed in OpenBSD about 6 months ago'' have become
1.45 deraadt 189: commonplace in security forums like
1.197 jufi 190: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>.<p>
1.35 deraadt 191:
1.45 deraadt 192: The most intense part of our security auditing happened immediately
1.80 espie 193: before the OpenBSD 2.0 release and during the 2.0->2.1 transition,
1.45 deraadt 194: over the last third of 1996 and first half of 1997. Thousands (yes,
195: thousands) of security issues were fixed rapidly over this year-long
196: period; bugs like the standard buffer overflows, protocol
197: implementation weaknesses, information gathering, and filesystem
198: races. Hence most of the security problems that we encountered were
199: fixed before our 2.1 release, and then a far smaller number needed
200: fixing for our 2.2 release. We do not find as many problems anymore,
201: it is simply a case of diminishing returns. Recently the security
202: problems we find and fix tend to be significantly more obscure or
203: complicated. Still we will persist for a number of reasons:<p>
1.36 deraadt 204:
1.35 deraadt 205: <ul>
1.45 deraadt 206: <li>Occasionally we find a simple problem we missed earlier. Doh!
1.35 deraadt 207: <li>Security is like an arms race; the best attackers will continue
1.45 deraadt 208: to search for more complicated exploits, so we will too.
209: <li>Finding and fixing subtle flaws in complicated software is
210: a lot of fun.
1.35 deraadt 211: </ul>
1.106 deraadt 212: <p>
1.15 deraadt 213:
1.14 deraadt 214: The auditing process is not over yet, and as you can see we continue
1.28 deraadt 215: to find and fix new security flaws.<p>
1.12 deraadt 216:

1.294 david 218: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">"Secure by Default"</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 219:
220: To ensure that novice users of OpenBSD do not need to become security
221: experts overnight (a viewpoint which other vendors seem to have), we
222: ship the operating system in a Secure by Default mode. All non-essential
223: services are disabled. As the user/administrator becomes more familiar
224: with the system, he will discover that he has to enable daemons and other
225: parts of the system. During the process of learning how to enable a new
226: service, the novice is more likely to learn of security considerations.<p>
227:
228: This is in stark contrast to the increasing number of systems that
229: ship with NFS, mountd, web servers, and various other services enabled
230: by default, creating instantaneous security problems for their users
231: within minutes after their first install.<p>

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