OpenBSD Newbie with a lot of questions
Hi there.
I've been using Linux for the last couple of years now and have recently taken an interest in OpenBSD, specifically because the developers of the Libre distro Hyperbola Gnu/Linux-Libre have announced they are developing a new hardfork of OpenBSD which they promise to be more secure and privacy respecting. So I thought I'd familiarise myself with OpenBSD itself so, coming from Linux, I've got quite a lot of questions to ask.
Thanks. |

Hello and welcome!
The FAQ is a great place to start, as frcc noted. It won't answer all of your questions, however, so I'll take a very brief stab at them: ----

For tmpfs, not really like Linux, but you can create a ramdisk. I have this in my /etc/fstab to create a 1gig 'tmpfs', took me awhile to understand what to do from the docs
Thus I put it here in case you want to do the same. Code:
swap /mnt/tmpfs mfs rw,noatime,nodev,nosuid,-s=1g 0 0 I created and did a chmod 1777 on /mnt/tmpfs prior to updating fstab |

hi
for pentester, you have the SecBSD Project: https://www.secbsd.org/ (absolutly based on OpenBSD with tools to audit security) as Live System USB/CD, you have the FuguITA project: http://fuguita.org/?FuguIta (always on OpenBSD stable with recents syspatches) * maybe ResFlash - depends your project - : https://stable.rcesoftware.com/resflash/ For Tmpfs, as said others, not exists like into Linux, but you can do same with mfs: - into the console/terminal system, i.e: Code:
mount_mfs -i 1024 -s 8m -o "rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid" swap "${directory}" Code:
swap ${directory} mfs rw,-i=1024,-s=8m,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 (and personally, I dont use never 1777 rights on tmpfs ; only 700, maybe 0705, it's enough)

It would be interesting if NetBSD's sailor could be ported to OpenBSD. Last edited by gpatrick; 3rd March 2020 at 12:44 PM. |
