History of HardenedBSD |
 |
The HardenedBSD project is a security-enhanced fork of FreeBSD which implements and tests new security features. Shawn Webb, one of the project's founders, shares a look back on the past decade of work on the project, lessons learned, and challenges faced. "This was the first large kernel development work I had ever done, so I had a lot to learn. Oliver and I worked in separate personal repos in GitHub for a while until Oliver created the HardenedBSD repo to unify our work. Our intent was to do initial development in the HardenedBSD repo with the goal of upstreaming to FreeBSD. History would take us on a different path. As we worked on our ASLR implementation, we updated our submission in FreeBSD's patch review system to solicit feedback from the FreeBSD project's official development team. With this being our first real foray into FreeBSD kernel development, we learned a lot through this review process. After two years of the development and review process, it was apparent that we differed with FreeBSD on the technical merits of our patch. Our work was not to be upstreamed due to a variety of reasons, some technical, some political. I eventually became overwhelmed and burned out and opted to abruptly discontinue the attempt at upstreaming our work." |
