(05/20) OpenBSD stories—Writing a Firefox OS
Near the end of march 2002, Wim Vandeputte was contacted for a possible VAX hardware donation in Delft, in the Netherlands. The description of the hardware was a bit vague, it was supposed to be a VAXstation, in a large deskside cabinet. What's the relationship between a VAX and Firefox, you may already be wondering. Please bear with me, you will see in a few paragraphs.

(06/03) OpenBSD stories—Of hp300 and consoles
UNIX was first created on Digital PDP-7 hardware, but as it grew and ran on more and more hardware platforms, some of them became quite iconic, and at least major milestones in UNIX evolution. If I were to name only three of them, I would name the PDP-11, hero of the 2BSD series, the VAX, supported from 3BSD onwards, and the hp300 (HP 9000/300 workstations), support for which was added in 4.3BSD-Reno. These machines are long gone (I wouldn't say ``dead'' as hobbyists are still keeping them alive, to this day, and I am myself still tinkering on VAX and hp300 systems on an irregular basis), but traces of their existence can still be found in BSD code today. Let me show you some hp300 leftovers…

⇒ OpenBSD stories—Trojaned OpenSSH
This is a story I had been considering writing for a long time, as many wrong or stupid things have been said or written at the time it happened. Being on a quite sensitive subject, I have however opted to redact a few things, especially the identity of two OpenBSD developers, as well as some IP addresses and other minor details which could help identify them. They will be referred to as dev1 and dev2 in this story. It does not matter who they are, and they really are trustworthy.
Very interesting! Pleaseant to read…
