Does OpenBSD have so few vulnerabilities because no one looks for them (compared to Linux/Windows) or because it's actually more secure?

I have an OS I coded my self that no one has ever found a vulnerability on.



I would imagine that it's a bit of both, but 1 point of comparison in OpenBSD's favor would be libressl vs openssl, the number & severity of issues in the OpenBSD maintained project has been significantly lower.


I was at the defcon presentation & talked with Ilja after.

The answer is a bit of both.


No one can answer this question.
