@nuintari A couple of days ago, some people proposed to replace an OpenBSD router/firewall with a Fortinet one. "it's moooarrr secuuuaaarr", they said. "We can expose it as it's secuuuarr", they said. Luckily, the person involved is intelligent and did some research. For me, the "we can expose" was enough to understand the level of the person proposing.

@stefano @nuintari my $day_job did exactly this without properly consulting the person who set up their original 2 OpenBSD firewalls which had been running perfectly well for 12 years...... Me.

@subnetspider @nuintari as much as I love OpenBSD (did you even seen my avatar). your conclusion is a bit weak.OpenBSD is not as deployed as these products and is not a target for hackers due to this.Finding exploits is expensive, so you have to be motivated for : - bountys? - damaging the brand? - damaging the company/institution etc...or even- research which is not free
