About

Matthew J. Harmon. Two decades in information security: incident response, threat intelligence, risk assessment, and the unglamorous work of making controls actually hold.

This site is the archive — talks going back to 2010, the tooling that came out of that work, and the occasional argument. The name is a joke that got less funny over time.

Elsewhere

This site

Static, built with Zola. No ads, no cookies, and no fonts fetched from anyone else’s server. Plausible counts visits, to show what gets read and to notice when something breaks. It keeps nothing about you; block JavaScript if you’d rather it didn’t run. Two visual skins ship with it — the toggle is in the header, and your choice is remembered locally. Everything is also available as an Atom feed.

  1. Publishing without downtime

    Every publish reboots a unikernel that serves 34 sites. Five gates stand between a bad build and everyone's traffic — and each one exists because something got through.

  2. The itys.net unikernel

    This site is served by a Go program that is the operating system, with the whole site compiled into its disk image. Thirty-three sites share it.
