Products for OpenBSD
OpenBSD encourages companies and independent developers to create products
for use with OpenBSD, or based on OpenBSD itself. We encourage you to look
into the products listed below.
Commercial support for OpenBSD is available from vendors listed on
our support page. A
gallery of users lists companies and projects
that deploy OpenBSD in various settings.
ePipe by Stallion Technologies
Stallion
Technologies uses OpenBSD
as an embedded operating system in its ePipe dial-up network gateway
for small and medium businesses. The gateway box is intended to beat the
high cost of the
last mile for small business VPNs and
application
service providers delivering hosted applications to small businesses.
ePipe runs on a Motorola ColdFire 5307 VL-RISC processor and uses OpenBSD's
built-in encryption software to deliver secure end to end connections.
NFR
NFR uses OpenBSD as their primary development
platform for their Network Flight Recorder intrusion detection software.
The NFR package is available as stand-alone software for OpenBSD, or as an
embedded product called the
NFR Intrusion Detection Appliance, which happens to run OpenBSD internally
(unfortunately, we believe it to be OpenBSD 2.3).
On their web page, NFR doesn't tell their customers that the operating
system inside the IDA is OpenBSD.
Anzen Computing
Anzen Computing sells
Anzen Flight Jacket,
a more comprehensive intrustion detection system based on NFR.
Independently, they also chose OpenBSD as their
primary packaged system.
As well, a technical paper from Anzen reports
that out of a number of major operating systems, OpenBSD is the fastest
platform for running NFR.
Covalent's Raven SSL
Covalent Technologies Inc. provides
RSA licensed 128-bit strong cryptography to the widely acclaimed Apache Web
Server on OpenBSD with their award winning
Raven SSL Module. (OpenBSD contains
SSL capable httpd, but use of it in the USA requires a licence from RSA,
which Raven does for you. It also includes support and easy tools for
assisting new https admins).
Network Security Wizards
Network Security Wizards sells the
Dragon Intrusion Detection system for OpenBSD.
Hiverworld
Hiverworld sells an OpenBSD-based
hardware solution which does constant Intranet vulnerability assesment,
called the
HiverMute Network Security Appliance.
Lan Media Corporation
LMC sells several PCI-based
synchronous serial cards, for T1 and HSSI/DS3, which are supported
in the OpenBSD, starting after the 2.5 release.
RTMX
RTMX sells a version of OpenBSD
which has a full complement of POSIX realtime features added to it.
They have graciously donated the source code for these extensions, and
these changes will be integrated into OpenBSD soon.

Core Systems
Core Systems sells
InSite,
an easy to use, server-side web statistics utility, for OpenBSD/i386. InSite
is similar to products such as WebTrends, but can also be configured through
a web interface to generate reports on the fly, using very little CPU
time. (Upon request, Core may be able to provide InSite for platforms
other then i386.)
Open Sound System (i386 only)
A substantially spiffed-up commercial version of the OpenBSD/i386 audio
device drivers is available from
http://www.opensound.com/.
These replacement drivers are compatible with the audio drivers
OpenBSD/i386 ships with, but they support many additional cards and take
full advantage of these cards' features.
This package is available
for OpenBSD/i386 2.6
