OpenBSD – Theo de Raadt

Interesting interview with OpenBSD founder Theo de Raddt. Theo opinions on mitigations, managing the OpenBSD project, it’s current challenges, and future. As well as full disclusure, breaking backwards compatibility, and 64-bit.

  • Behind OpenBSD, Windows comes in second with operating system exploit mitigations enabled.
  • FreeBSD doesn’t have any active auditing of their source tree.
  • Everyone uses OpenSSH, yet the project continues to flourish thanks to individual willing to volunteer, and not because of a major corporation sponsor.
  • OpenBSD’s entire ports tree already runs on 64-bit.
