OpenBSD is trusted to handle and defense Defcon network!! Nice!! DefCon 16: Hackers and a Gag Order in Sin City Posted by Scott_Ruecker on Aug 15, 2008 11:11 PM UTC LXer Linux News; By Derek Knowlton http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/107146/
Quote: "DefCon produces the most hostile network environment in the world every year. The DefCon network has evolved with the event. What started out as a casually constructed resource to provide access to the Internet and a venue for pranksters to attack has grown into a hardened network. A quad-core Xeon supports the network with openBSD as the firewall protecting a backbone link to (an estimated) 150 vlans, propagated to the public with 35 Aruba AP-70 wireless access points and 30 ethernet connections to support the administration of the event. The AP-70s are maintained by a management switch. The AP-70s allow and monitor traffic and can triangulate the position of signals received. Since they are all propagating a signal from the management switch, traffic can be analyzed and recorded for the competitions." -woss-
