why not freebsd?  the freebsd project seem to focus exclusively on post-attack with jails and trustedbsd mac.  fbsd has not implemented any of the modern exploit mitigation techniques.  i mean, even os x has had full aslr since 2012 lol.<p>some years ago fbsd was forked to hardenedbsd which has aslr, mprotect restrictions, non-exec pages on cpus w&#x2F;o NX, randomized lib loading order, etc.  i guess the freebsd project is too busy fighting meritocracy cus none of it has been merged as far as i can tell.<p>as for linux, plenty has been written on linus&#x27; stance on what he considers to be a &quot;security circus&quot;; and the mantra on lkml is still that &quot;a bug is a bug&quot;.  just watch oss-sec and see distro people wading through kernel commit logs (hyperbole) cus sec-related bugs usually aren&#x27;t reported downstream
