OpenBSD. The insecurity of OpenBSD « All that is wrong with the world… Table of Contents Introduction Secure by default Security practices and philosophy No way to thoroughly lock down a system The need for extended access controls Extended access controls are too complex Conclusion References Introduction Firstly, I would to apologize for, and clarify the title of this article. I wanted to use a title which would hold attention and encourage discussion while remaining true to the argument I make. I certainly don’t mean to imply that OpenBSD is a horribly insecure operating system – it isn’t. I do however need to highlight that OpenBSD is quite far removed from a secure operating system, and will attempt to justify this position below.

To start, we must clarify at a bare minimum what a secure operating system can be considered to be. Despite this OpenBSD is widely regarded as being one of the most secure operating systems currently available. Secure by default Used as an indicator to gauge the security of OpenBSD however, it is worthless.
