Another way I'm feeling old... I remember back when OpenSSH was just a plucky upstart implementation of SSH.

  I did the original import of the unencumbered SSH sources into the OpenBSD CVS repository (imported to the wrong path and Theo blew up lol). Haven't thought about it in ages and the distance of the memory is making me feel old too.

    >theo blew up Those rash of OpenSSH and OpenSSL vulnerabilities back in the late 90s seemed like it was targeted at Theo just because he acted like a jerk and he knew it. The never compromised tagline of OpenBSD was flushed down the toilet and at the time it really seemed like it was a deliberate attack

      Note that OpenSSL is not an OpenBSD project. LibreSSL is.

      If you bombastically claim something then don't be surprised if people are going to test that claim.

  Yep. I wanted to say it was F-Secure SSH, but the timeline on Wikipedia doesn't quite match. The development of SSH and the history of Data Fellows/F-Secure kinda line up, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Secure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Secure

    Update: yep, it was DataFellows that I remember! https://www.openssh.com/history.html https://www.openssh.com/history.html > Later licenses restricted the use of ssh in a commercial environment, instead requiring companies to buy an expensive version from a company called Datafellows.

      Yup, the good ol' days of DataFellows, when I had to convince people to use SSH instead of Telnet... ;-)
