On “OpenBSD 5.5 Released”

I found this ~14 minute interview with Theo de Raadt from ruBSD very interesting and apropos OpenBSD's approach to trail-blazing "painful" changes: link to this video tl;dw: Changes that must be done, must be DONE. The only way to see the ACTUAL impact is to just do it already and get feedback from real users. When the dust has settled, less brave projects can follow suit. I'm donating.

On “Security: OpenBSD vs. FreeBSD”

If you watch the the ruBSD 2013 interview video with Theo de Raadt1 at the 6:36, he states that they should take a shot at dealing with modern x86 VMs. That gives me quite a bit of hope along with the work on vmware related drivers in each release. 1) link to this video

On “Welcome to OpenBSD [pdf]”

If you watch the the ruBSD 2013 interview video with Theo de Raadt1 at the 6:36, he states that they should take a shot at dealing with modern x86 VMs. That gives me quite a bit of hope along with the work on vmware related drivers in each release. I use VMware at work, seems to do ok. 1) link to this video

On “Docker on FreeBSD”

link to this video Edit: First 5 Minutes De Raadt speaks about Mitigation Techniques in comparison to other OSs, including FBSD. I fear, this is still true in mid-2015..

On “Quick and dirty way to have OpenBSD running on Linode”

"The biggest problem with OpenBSD has been lack of support for hardware and virtualization, though a lot of the reason for this has been the OpenBSD team's own hostility towards virtualization. I get their reasoning (virtualization is a security issue), but the economic consequences have been devastating to their user base."

On “Linux kernel lockdown, integrity, and confidentiality”

…hink we are still lacking user-friendly interfaces (opensnitch is ported from MacOS). One idea could be to let the desktop environment restrict one more capability a application on every run, inform the user before running it and ask the user after if the software worked correctly. That would gradually lead to a minimum set of software rights. 1 link to this video…
