Media Coverage.

• Operating system designed to foil hackers, National Post, May 25, 1999

  Newspaper article about OpenBSD.

• Why to BSD in a Linux world., March, 1999

  Description of the OpenBSD development process, and arguments as to why Linux probably cannot achieve the same level of security audit.

• NFR Performance Testing report, written by Anzen. February, 1999.

  This report compares the network monitoring performance of the NFR (Network Flight Recorder) package at handling flat-out 100Mbit ethernet monitoring, running on OpenBSD, BSDI, Linux, and Solaris. OpenBSD comes out as a clear winner just for raw performance; even before you consider the superior security of OpenBSD which you probably would want for a network-monitoring station.

• Security Watch, end of year Golden Guardian awards. February, 1999.

  "Finally, we'd be remiss in ignoring OpenBSD in any discussion of top open-source security products. It registered high in our e-mail survey, and we promise to take a more active look at it in future columns."

• OpenBSD and IPSec, leading the pack, November, 1998.

  A two-part article by Ejovi Nuwere focusing on OpenBSD's IPSec Development. Part one is an introduction to OpenBSD's Photurisd and its current Implementation, including a brief interview with Photurisd creator Neils Provos.

• Wired Magazine, May 1, 1998, Usenix coverage.

  Mention of OpenBSD with regards to our involvement in the Freenix track held at Usenix in New Orleans.

• Wired Magazine, Aug 11, 1997, Beyond HOPE coverage.

  Completely bogus (but quite amusing) description of what OpenBSD is.

• WebServer Online, reprinted in Server/Workstation Expert (formerly SunExpert Magazine), June 1998, page 81.

  A glowing four-page description of OpenBSD emphasizing its use as a server and an OS that ships with security in the box (the SunExpert version is in PDF but includes their own graphic - a cross between Superman™ and the BSD Daemon, which the WebServer version in HTML does not).

• Security Watch: Monthly Editorial. July, 1998.

  Points at our security page calling it "OpenBSD's mantra".

• Wired Magazine, June 1998, page 96. Paper edition only.

  A half-page description of what OpenBSD is, with a cheezy picture of project founder Theo de Raadt (watch those wired people do photoshop jobs!).

Swedish press coverage (in swedish)

• Datateknik no 20, 1998.

  An article on the swedish IPSec interop event mentions OpenBSD as one of the successful participants, and has a mini-interview with OpenBSD developer Niklas Hallqvist.

• Datateknik no 13, 1998 and Datateknik no 14, 1998.

  Two published letters talking about OpenBSD's role in MacOS X. The 1st one has some misconceptions which are corrected by the 2nd which explains the licensing issues and points to our copyright policy page.
