One of them is not like the others -- OpenSSL is not an OpenBSD project and the code quality is markedly different :-)
- protomyth 10y agoperhaps jayofdoom meant LibreSSL. and yes, OpenSSL is a bit of a code quality difference than the OpenBSD norm.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoYall don't be too nice to them. The code quality is shit. My favorite quip of all came from Ted Unagnst noticing they did endian-checks in one code that ran very often during use of protocol. He said something along the lines that they hadn't applied any sense to (important issue) but they had you covered if your CPU's endianness changed in mid-operation. No words. :)
- protomyth 10y agoI meant my comment in the same spirit as a Southerner means "Bless your heart". I do believe Ted Unagnt's comment is included in the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnBbhXBDmwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnBbhXBDmwU LibrSSL first 30 days along with quite a lot of other oddities.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoAlright lol. I lost the video but it was definitely a LibreSSL presentation at a conference. Thanks for the link in case it has it.
