OpenBSD 5.0 Unleashed On the World

Posted by timothy on from the sir-this-encryption-appears-nearly-unbreakable dept.

First time accepted submitter tearmeapart writes "A new version of the operating system that most of us would love to love, but probably hardly ever directly use, has been released. As scheduled, release 5.0 brings support for more hardware, network improvements, and OpenSSH 5.9. The links: changelog; download; main 5.0 page; and how to order your OpenBSD products!"

  1. Not provably secure by kriston · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    OpenBSD is only perceptually secure. There is no unbiased audit process. There is no verification by a third party. There's just narcissism. The only reasons we think OpenBSD is secure are:

    1) OpenBSD supporters said so.

    2) Few people who say they use OpenBSD actually use OpenBSD. As a result, few security holes are found and published.

    Please prove this wrong. All I'm seeing are various forms of cognitive distortion and fallacies when people try to prove to me that OpenBSD is truly more secure.
