Releases 

OPNsense 16.1 Released

It has been more than a year since OPNsense first came out. Back then it was FreeBSD 10.0. Not even two months after, 10.1 was introduced along with the opnsense-update utility. Today is the day for FreeBSD 10.2, the latest and greatest release currently available for broader driver support and stability improvements. 16.1 is nick-named “Crafty Coyote” in honour of our beloved childhood TV sessions. It is the accumulation of 6 months of work, having had our focus on reengineering the captive portal, native intrusion prevention, plugin support, and transforming the reporting frontend into something more modern and flexible just to name a few[1]. Apart from the recently published security advisories (see patch notes below), we have included a quick navigation feature which can be activated by pressing (TAB) followed by search keywords and hitting (ENTER) to go to the desired page. Last but not least, a larger batch of improvements and fixes went into assorted sections of the GUI that certainly help to get your work done without ending up dazed and confused.

News

A Reimplementation of NetBSD Using a Microkernel

This talk covers some of the history of Minix 3, what it is and why Andrew started the project, and how after years of fighting it why he realized that Minix 3 should be more like BSD than being its own thing.
Join the discussion  on site. 

New Member - CTurt

We've added a new member to the HardenedBSD team! CTurt will be working with us to research, exploit, and produce patches for kernel-level vulnerabilities. We'll be working on getting these kernel security enhancements upstreamed to FreeBSD after the fixes have been deemed stable in HardenedBSD first.

License corrections for DragonFly

This has no effect on the actual operation of DragonFly, but it makes me feel better that it’s done: Rimvydas Jasinskas has gone through DragonFly source and removed the unnecessary 3rd BSD license clause, which is no longer needed.
