Hello, I have 3 security-related questions:
(1) Does OpenBSD have a mechanism like Ctrl-Alt-Delete on Windows (Secure
Attention Key, or SAK) to prevent malware (or a website in fullscreen, for
example) from faking a logout process and/or faking a login prompt? On
Windows the kernel ensures that the operating system captures this key
combination and takes over with a real login prompt that malware can't fake
without first defeating the OS security.
(2) I've learned that X11 allows locally running malware to sniff the
keystrokes input to any other X11-using app running under any user. Does
Xenocara/rootless X on OpenBSD prevent or limit this?
(3) I saw that Chromium, Firefox, and Tor Browser on OpenBSD (at least when
installed from the OpenBSD package manager/ports) are sandboxed with
pledge(2) and unveil(2). Are there any other major apps, especially that
commonly accept untrusted input, that are also sandboxed like that on
OpenBSD? Especially email clients, media players, word processors, apps to
send/receive/sync files, etc.

Thank you.
