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 produces the Dragon IDS for the OpenBSD platform. Dragon is a packet based intrusion detection system which can operate with 1200 signatures. The signatures identify all phases of network misuse including probes, attacks and actual compromises. Dragon operates on fully saturated 100 Mb/s networks and many Dragon customers operate in the 200 Mb/s range on Gigabit Ethernet segments.

  • 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.

  • Software2Go Motif (i386 and SPARC only)
    Software2Go, LLC has Motif 2.1.20 Development and Runtime toolkits for OpenBSD.
    The development distribution is for software developers building graphical user interface applications with the Motif look and feel. The runtime distribution is required to deploy binary-only applications.
    Contact: Software2Go, LLC Online Ordering, 817-431-8775 (phone/fax)

  • 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

  • Pre-installed OpenBSD systems in Oregon, USA
    Chris Cappuccio sells systems with OpenBSD installed and optimized for a server, workstation, or a router. Includes special networking options and X Windows setup.

  • Pre-installed OpenBSD systems in the U.K.
    Knowledge Matters Ltd. sells systems running OpenBSD for a number of applications. Primary focus is on Internet services, routers and utility platforms. Knowledge Matters is located in London, England.
