Comments on: In Other BSDs for 2018/06/23 https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2018/06/23/in-other-bsds-for-2018-06-23/ A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD. Fri, 29 Jun 2018 03:32:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: rjc https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2018/06/23/in-other-bsds-for-2018-06-23/comment-page-1/#comment-487431 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 03:32:05 +0000 https://www.dragonflydigest.com/?p=21432#comment-487431 I would like to point out that any such comparison, by its very nature, will be skewed in favour of whomever has produced it – otherwise, there is simply no point in doing such a thing and one might simply point the reader towards an unbiased comparison done by an independent 3rd-party.

There are quite a few cherry-picked features from HardenedBSD, for which an exact equivalent might either not exist or a different solution is being used elsewhere. At the same time, other security enhancements and exploit mitigations have been omitted from said comparison – https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html

Just to be clear, I have nothing against HardenedBSD – I wish FreeBSD just adopted more (all?) of the enhancements, the former project has done.

Linked above is an interesting comparison of all BSD security features.

Looks like HardenedBSD might be more secure than OpenBSD.
