The '''Openwall Project''' is a source for various software, including Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl), a security-enhanced [[Linux distribution]] designed for servers. Openwall [[Patch (computing)|patches]] and security extensions have been included into many major [[Linux distribution]]s.

As the name implies, Openwall GNU/*/Linux draws [[source code]] and design concepts from numerous sources,; most importantly to the project is its usage of the [[Linux kernel]] and parts of the GNU [[Userland (computing)|userland]], and others include the [[BSD]]s, such as [[OpenBSD]] for its [[OpenSSH]] suite and the inspiration behind its own [[blowfish (cipher)|Blowfish]]-based [[crypt (Unix)|crypt]] for password hashing, compatible with the OpenBSD implementation.
