1.278 deraadt 86: <ul>
1.294 david 87: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">Goal</font></h3><p>
1.22 deraadt 88:
1.14 deraadt 89: OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER
1.22 deraadt 90: ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there). Our
91: open software development model permits us to take a more
92: uncompromising view towards increased security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP,
93: or other vendors are able to. We can make changes the vendors would
1.27 deraadt 94: not make. Also, since OpenBSD is exported with <a href=crypto.html>
1.45 deraadt 95: cryptography</a>, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards
96: fixing security problems.<p>
1.18 deraadt 97:
1.288 matthieu 98: <a name="disclosure"></a>
1.294 david 99: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">Full Disclosure</font></h3><p>
1.106 deraadt 100:
1.45 deraadt 101: Like many readers of the
1.196 jufi 102: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">
1.18 deraadt 103: BUGTRAQ mailing list</a>,
1.106 deraadt 104: we believe in full disclosure of security problems. In the
105: operating system arena, we were probably the first to embrace
106: the concept. Many vendors, even of free software, still try
107: to hide issues from their users.<p>
108:
109: Security information moves very fast in cracker circles. On the other
110: hand, our experience is that coding and releasing of proper security
111: fixes typically requires about an hour of work -- very fast fix
112: turnaround is possible. Thus we think that full disclosure helps the
113: people who really care about security.<p>
114:
1.288 matthieu 115: <a name="process"></a>
1.294 david 116: <li><h3><font color="#e00000">Audit Process</font></h3><p>
1.15 deraadt 117:
1.12 deraadt 118: Our security auditing team typically has between six and twelve
1.45 deraadt 119: members who continue to search for and fix new security holes. We
120: have been auditing since the summer of 1996. The process we follow to
121: increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of
1.106 deraadt 122: every critical software component. We are not so much looking for
123: security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if
1.138 deraadt 124: years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security
1.106 deraadt 125: issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the
126: better. Flaws have been found in just about every area of the system.
127: Entire new classes of security problems have been found during our
128: audit, and often source code which had been audited earlier needs
129: re-auditing with these new flaws in mind. Code often gets audited
130: multiple times, and by multiple people with different auditing
131: skills.<p>
1.12 deraadt 132:
1.94 deraadt 133: Some members of our security auditing team worked for Secure Networks,
134: the company that made the industry's premier network security scanning
135: software package Ballista (Secure Networks got purchased by Network
136: Associates, Ballista got renamed to Cybercop Scanner, and well...)
137: That company did a lot of security research, and thus fit in well
1.106 deraadt 138: with the OpenBSD stance. OpenBSD passed Ballista's tests with flying
139: colours since day 1.<p>
1.31 deraadt 140:
1.34 deraadt 141: Another facet of our security auditing process is its proactiveness.
1.45 deraadt 142: In most cases we have found that the determination of exploitability
143: is not an issue. During our ongoing auditing process we find many
144: bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is not
145: proven. We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to fix. We
146: have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming errors in code
147: and only months later discovered that the problems were in fact
148: exploitable. (Or, more likely someone on
1.197 jufi 149: <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1">BUGTRAQ</a>
1.45 deraadt 150: would report that other operating systems were vulnerable to a `newly
151: discovered problem', and then it would be discovered that OpenBSD had
152: been fixed in a previous release). In other cases we have been saved
153: from full exploitability of complex step-by-step attacks because we
154: had fixed one of the intermediate steps. An example of where we
1.94 deraadt 155: managed such a success is the lpd advisory that Secure Networks put out.

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

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

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