OpenBSD uses broken WEP for securing WiFi networks.
Has no WPA/WPA2 support.
# Do not let serious problems sit unsolved. OpenBSD doesn't need
MAC because it has their own security flawed systrace.
# Use of Cryptography. OpenBSD uses file-backed encryption (svnd)
which is very suited
for Full-disk-encryption. NOT.
# Full Disclosure. OpenBSD at first denies remote exploitable
flaws. DoS flaws gets marked as reliability not security issues.
# Easy maintainable. OpenBSD distributes source patches to make
your farm of
Pentium2 firewalls updated easly.
# Secure Distribution.
The most secure operation system gets distributed on FTP servers
as unsigned binaries.
Facts about Nikns Siankin:
# Whiner. He bitches incessantly about stuff and does nothing to fix
it. AFAICT he's even saying that purchasing the CDs is pointless.
# Jerk. He ignores that most of the development time that goes into
OpenBSD is DONATED by highly-skilled individuals. You can only add as
many bells and whistles as you have resources and time.
# Misleading. He claims the system is distributed on FTP servers and
elects not to note that code is available via cvs over ssh.
# Ignorant. OpenBSD has myriad additional security technologies in it
that help to moderate vulnerabilities in poorly coded applications like
firefox and clamav.
# Idiot. By whining in a totally counterproductive fashion he alienates
himself from those who would otherwise, provided his requests were
reasonable, help him out.
Disclaimer: Like it or not. I'm OpenBSD user for 4 years.
Shit on my head - shit on all OpenBSD supporters.
you are free to use any other operating system if you don't
like OpenBSD.
I'm not subscribed, cc me, if have something to say.
