Sniping at OpenBSD

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-attacks dept.

Noel writes "An article at RootPrompt.org talks about the reaction to the announcements by the OpenBSD developer team about new exploits that implied that the developers had been hiding the truth about the exploits so as to not tarnish the reputation of OpenBSD."

    This is a non-issue. I read the whole silly flamewar on Bugtraq, and I agree with Theo. The point of OpenBSD is that they repair the source IN ADVANCE, even before they know what the potential problems are.

    People found an exploit for a version that's two months out of date, and they're having sour grapes because they only got to bask in the H4X0R spotlight for negative sixty days.
