 Shortly after OpenBSD 's creation , de Raadt was contacted by a local security software company named Secure Networks ( SNI ) . They were developing a " network security auditing tool " called <unk> , which was intended to find and attempt to exploit possible software security flaws . This coincided with de Raadt 's own interest in security , so for a time the two cooperated , a relationship that was of particular usefulness leading up to the release of OpenBSD 2 @.@ 3 and helped to define security as the focal point of the project .
