Baya kuba sele beyazi I-OpenBSDInkqubo yokusebenza yosapho lwe-BSD. Ukuba awuyazi, ngumthombo ovulekileyo wenkqubo efana ne-Unix kwaye awusekelwanga kwi-kernel ye-Linux, ngokucacileyo. Yinzala yeNetBSD, kodwa ishiya ukubambeka kwindawo yesibini ukugxila kukhuseleko njengendawo eyomeleleyo. Ewe, ngokukhutshwa kwe-OpenBSD 6.2 kuya kuza i-kernel enomdla kakhulu.
Kuyavela ukuba i-OpenBSD 6.2 iyakwenza i-kernel eyahlukileyo ngalo lonke ixesha inkqubo yomsebenzisi iqala ngokutsha okanye ihlaziya inkqubo. Lo msebenzi ibizwa ngokuba yiKARL (Idilesi yeKernel Randomised Link) kwaye isebenza ngokunxibelelanisa iifayile zangaphakathi zekernel ngolandelelwano olungacwangciswanga ukuze ivelise ibhloko yokubini eyahlukileyo ngalo lonke ixesha. Intsha leyo, kuba iinguqulelo zangoku ze-OpenBSD zisebenzisa indawo echazwe kwangaphambili, ekhokelela ekubeni iifayile zangaphakathi zidityaniswe kwaye zilayishwe kubunambumba obufanayo ngalo lonke ixesha kubo bonke abasebenzisi.
Uphuhliso lwe UTheo de Raadt iya kusebenza ngokwenza lo mfanekiso uthile ngexesha lofakelo, ngexesha lokuhlaziya okanye ixesha lokuqalisa. Ukuba umsebenzisi weebhutsi, uhlaziya okanye uqalisa kwakhona umatshini, i-kernel esandula ukwenziwa iya kutshintshwa yibhanari entsha. Kwaye konke oku kwenzelwa ntoni? Ewe, nantsi indlela eyakhelwe ngayo indawo yeedilesi zememori apho isicelo kunye nekhowudi yekernel yenziwa khona, endaweni yokuba nolawulo oluphezulu okanye iinxalenye zememori esele zichaziwe kwinto nganye, edibanisa ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo ezikhomba kwindawo yememori kwaye kuphucula ukhuseleko.
Kukho enye indlela efanayo ebizwa ngokuba I-KASLR (uKernel Space Layout Randomization), eyahlukileyo kwi-KARL endaweni yokuba ivelise i-binary eyahlukileyo ngalo lonke ixesha, i-KASLR ilayisha ibhanari efanayo kwiindawo ezingahleliwe, ezizizo iinkqubo ezisebenzayo ezinje ngeWindows kunye neLinux-based ezisetyenziswayo namhlanje. Zombini ngenjongo enye.
