A few years ago I remember seeing strl* mentioned in a slide presentation for something that must have come from the oBSD camp.
Since then I thought, not knowing any amount of C, that strl* was part of the language and available to all.
Imagine if you will my confusion everytime I read people complaining about C being insecure.
Your comment corrected my perception of this.
Thank you.
- auslander 8y agoI admire the no-nonsense approach by OpenBSD: "The process we follow to increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of every critical software component. We are not so much looking for security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the better." https://www.openbsd.org/security.html https://www.openbsd.org/security.html I'm in DevOps field, and this 'make it right from the start' resonates strongly with me.
