Default

OpenBSD is secured mainly because lot's of options (most of them useless in everyday use) are not activated by default.
Of course any wrong configuration can make a system unsecure, even the OpenBSD systems.
Yet, if you don't mess too much with the configuration files, OpenBSD is a must have if you have security concern, but as a desktop you'll have some sacrifices to make.
A good option is to have a small box running OpenBSD as a router-firewall-proxy-honeypot-lotsofthings in front of your connexion, and that way you can have any computer you like behind it (but of course keep that computer secure from any virus or trojan, and forget the wifi).
If you have problems with a craker (hacker has a different meaning to me), call the police.
The book of PF is a must read too
