Search BSD Submit News FAQ Contact Us Join Us Advocating BSD Search Chris Coleman Monthly Ezine I've long been a fan of BSD. I began using BSD seriously in 1995, mostly FreeBSD, but dabbling with the other projects as needs arose. As I began to Search be more proficient in BSD and the Unix technologies I looked around for ways that I could contribute back to the project that was helping me out. I didn't know how to code very well, so I turned to my other hobby and began Get BSD Stuff to write. I found I really liked writing about BSD and quickly found that I liked explaining technical things. The first project I started out on was overly difficult. I tried writing a book about FreeBSD. At the time, only Greg Lehey's Complete FreeBSD book was around and I thought it would be a good idea to see another one. Linux books had started to pop up here and there. I ended up writing a great deal of text that I posted on the internet for everyone to read as I went. It wasn't the success I dreamed about, however, I did manage to get a book contract with a large publisher a short time later and began working on a BSD book with two other friends. However, the publisher dropped the book after some difficulties with us turning in our chapters in a non-Word format. Also, I think they couldn't see the market for the FreeBSD book yet. But I didn't give up. I did decide that a book wasn't really what I wanted to do anyway. I turned my time back to working on smaller technical articles that I could more easily wrap my brain around. It's much easier to make one point in an article than to stay on topic while trying to lead up to that point in a larger work. So, all of my current work goes into the Daemon News Ezine. It's a lot of work and it's all volunteer. I also think it's worth it. I find myself often referring to articles on Daemon News when working on BSD related tasks. Sometimes they are even my own articles. (Which I wrote just to document how I did something so I wouldn't forget it.) But there is a lot more to be done. I feel that quite a bit more advocacy work could be done. Recently I have had to work with a few Linux installations and every time it reminds me how much I like BSD. I'm probably just biased, but I find BSD to be extremely well suited to the kind of work I do. However, I'd like to do more than just talk about how much advocacy we need. So, I've helped put together http://advocacy.daemonnews.org as a place where we can share ideas about BSD advocacy. Recently I put a note up there for people to call Digium to let them know about interest from the BSD community in their products. So far, their response seems to be positive. With a little effort from the community, we can keep BSD on the radar scope of companies developing hardware and add it to a few company buzz words. -Chris Coleman Author maintains all copyrights on this article.

Mail Search By Mikel King <[email protected]> Monthly Ezine I thought it might be nice to start off with a simple little article about a simple app in the ports tree that I find particularly useful. It is called fetchyahoo. Search Basically, what it does is fetch your email out of your mail.yahoo.com account via the http interface and download it into a mailbox. Of course, that may not seem all that special or important, but what is really cool about this app is where it can put the messages, and some of the advanced features, like Get BSD Stuff dumping the bulk messages and automatic expunging of the deleted messages. Now, one of the first things I usually do before I build anything from the ports tree is run a quick cvsup off my in house mirror to refresh the tree on the machine I am using. I find that this is generally a good thing to do. For instance, the version in the ports tree is 2.8.6 and mine is 2.8.0 which, of course, is not that great, but if you are going to take the time to build something, then why not do it right? OK, so building the port is easy once you complete the cvsup. I did have some trouble with the fetching of various dependencies but I suspect that was more or less bandwidth related. But, eventually, the make install clean will complete and you will be able to step into the .fetchyahoorc configuration file. A sample can be found in the build directory, and excerpts are included for explanation, as follows. This first section is rather self explanatory, just substitute your yahoo credentials here and then proceed to the next section. ###### SHOULD configure these ###### username = *yahoo-user-name* # this can be a password or an md5_hex hashed password password = *yahoo-password* # set this to 0 to turn off HTTPS and login insecurely via plaintext instead use-https = 1 ###### mail spool, mbox file and procmail configs ###### # set use-spool to 0 to disable outputting to a file/filter use-spool = 1 # if spoolName ends with a / we output in maildir format to that directory spool = /var/spool/mail/*local-user-name* # spool-mode must be either append, pipe or overwrite # use pipe for procmail or other filter and append for a normal spool # ignored if spoolName is a maildir directory spool-mode = append OK, at this point we could fire off a sync and download the email into a standard Unix type mailbox.

Rethinking /devand devices in the UNIX kernel Poul-Henning Kamp <[email protected]> The FreeBSD Project Abstract An outstanding novelty in UNIX at its introduction was the notion of ‘‘a file is a file is a file and evenadevice is a file.’’ Going from ‘‘hardware only changes when the DEC Field engineer is here’’to‘‘my toaster has USB’’has put serious strain on the rather crude implementation of the ‘‘devices as files’’concept, an implementation which has survivedpractically unchanged for 30 years in most UNIX variants. Starting from a high-levelviewofdevices and the semantics that have grown around them overthe years, this paper takes the audience on a grand tour of the redesigned FreeBSD device-I/O system, to convey anoverviewofhow itall fits together,and to explain whythings ended up as theydid, howtouse the newfeatures and in particular hownot to. 1.

Murenin and Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo AsiaBSDCon 2009 — 12–15 March 2009 — Tokyo, Japan Abstract In this paper, we will discuss the origin, history, design guidelines, API and the device drivers of the hardware sensors framework available in OpenBSD. The framework spans multiple utilities in the base system and the ports tree, is utilised by over 70 drivers, and is considered to be a distinctive and ready-to-use feature that sets OpenBSD apart from many other operating systems, and in its root is inseparable from the OpenBSD experience. 1.

  • Cryptanalysis of the Random Number Generator of the Windows Operating System
    Cryptanalysis of the Random Number Generator of the Windows Operating System Leo Dorrendorf School of Engineering and Computer Science The Hebrew University of Jerusalem 91904 Jerusalem, Israel [email protected] Zvi Gutterman Benny Pinkas¤ School of Engineering and Computer Science Department of Computer Science The Hebrew University of Jerusalem University of Haifa 91904 Jerusalem, Israel 31905 Haifa, Israel [email protected] [email protected] November 4, 2007 Abstract The pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) used by the Windows operating system is the most commonly used PRNG. The pseudo-randomness of the output of this generator is crucial for the security of almost any application running in Windows. Nevertheless, its exact algorithm was never published. We examined the binary code of a distribution of Windows 2000, which is still the second most popular operating system after Windows XP. (This investigation was done without any help from Microsoft.) We reconstructed, for the ¯rst time, the algorithm used by the pseudo- random number generator (namely, the function CryptGenRandom). We analyzed the security of the algorithm and found a non-trivial attack: given the internal state of the generator, the previous state can be computed in O(223) work (this is an attack on the forward-security of the generator, an O(1) attack on backward security is trivial). The attack on forward-security demonstrates that the design of the generator is flawed, since it is well known how to prevent such attacks. We also analyzed the way in which the generator is run by the operating system, and found that it ampli¯es the e®ect of the attacks: The generator is run in user mode rather than in kernel mode, and therefore it is easy to access its state even without administrator privileges.

  • The Internet Is a Semicommons
    GRIMMELMANN_10_04_29_APPROVED_PAGINATED 4/29/2010 11:26 PM THE INTERNET IS A SEMICOMMONS James Grimmelmann* I. INTRODUCTION As my contribution to this Symposium on David Post’s In Search of Jefferson’s Moose1 and Jonathan Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet,2 I’d like to take up a question with which both books are obsessed: what makes the Internet work? Post’s answer is that the Internet is uniquely Jeffersonian; it embodies a civic ideal of bottom-up democracy3 and an intellectual ideal of generous curiosity.4 Zittrain’s answer is that the Internet is uniquely generative; it enables its users to experiment with new uses and then share their innovations with each other.5 Both books tell a story about how the combination of individual freedom and a cooperative ethos have driven the Internet’s astonishing growth. In that spirit, I’d like to suggest a third reason that the Internet works: it gets the property boundaries right. Specifically, I see the Internet as a particularly striking example of what property theorist Henry Smith has named a semicommons.6 It mixes private property in individual computers and network links with a commons in the communications that flow * Associate Professor, New York Law School. My thanks for their comments to Jack Balkin, Shyam Balganesh, Aislinn Black, Anne Chen, Matt Haughey, Amy Kapczynski, David Krinsky, Jonathon Penney, Chris Riley, Henry Smith, Jessamyn West, and Steven Wu.
