The guy who wrote this did a talk about it, this website was to list sources etc. I’m an OpenBSD user and I did not personally feel like he had an axe to grind, and overall thought he was fair and had well made points. I’ll be the first to admit a lot of what he said was rather too technical for me, but if I’m remembering correctly I never saw many counter points to his claims.
I personally feel that OpenBSD is more secure for my use case, but I’m happy that people bring up points like this as humans make mistakes and not even OpenBSD is perfect.
- beachhead 6y agoI watched the talk. The guy was wearing a t-shirt with the OpenBSD mascot with "got hacked" under it. Again if you read the about section it seems pretty clear. You're parroting the same language from the talk. Why should there be counter points to some random internet person's claims? Where are those bypasses at? Where are the patches to incorporate these better mitigations or to improve existing ones? I don't think OpenBSD has perfect security and I'm not sure why that needs to be said. I don't see anyone involved in the project making that claim either. What I'm saying is this talk/website is just as dubious as some of y'all think OpenBSD mitigations are and if that's not obvious from looking at the sources I'm not sure what else to say here.
