Types of Automated Website Security (Cloudflare vs. Sucuri vs. Tinfoil)
- largehotcoffee 14y agoClearly the votes for this article are not legitimate.
- borski 14y agoI'm sorry, why?
- cowsaysoink 14y agoProbably because your blog post reads like spam, it is pretty much devoid of content.
- borski 14y agoInteresting. We were hoping to provide some context and clarity around the different types of automated website security by categorizing them - a lot of people (even engineers) we talk to don't really understand the difference between malware scanning and proactive vulnerability scanning, for example. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the article. Feedback is much appreciated. :)
- cowsaysoink 14y agoI'll give you feedback since you ask. - Up the font size on your blog, I can't read it without zooming in considerably. - Try to actually explain, giving examples help, what the different security parts do rather than quickly explaining, this blog post feels as if it were written up in 15 minutes to sell your product rather than being informative - Don't be afraid to use markup other than anchor and paragraph tags, for this article using subheadings for the 3 types of security would make the article easier to follow (remember people love to skim).
- borski 14y agoGreat feedback. We're definitely going to fix these for the next post. Thanks. :)
- mentat 14y agoI don't think the people here are engineers in the class you reference generally. (Though the password and JS crypto posts may contradict that.) I think more content would be specific methods that each classes uses, their overall use flow, what's covered or not, the general state of site security, why people get targeted, etc.
- borski 14y agoWe definitely have some of these in the works, and fair point regarding HN not being filled with typical "engineers." Thanks for the feedback.
- car54whereareu 14y agoThat had lower entropy than spam. Thank you. Does tinfoil care if I follow popular security standards?
- borski 14y agoNo problem. Glad you enjoyed it! Can you elaborate on your question? Feel free to email me at borski@tinfoilsecurity.com so we don't waste the rest of HN's time. :)

- error54 14y agoI thought it was an interesting read though I would have liked a more detailed article. I signed up for their free test but I guess the mail server is down so I never got any results.
- borski 14y agoI'm glad it was interesting! With regard to the free test, can you email me at borski@tinfoilsecurity.com and I'll be sure to look into it? Our mail servers haven't experienced any outages, but I'd love to find out what went wrong and fix it for you. Thanks! :)
- error54 14y agoI found the email. It was caught by my overly aggressive spam filter. Thanks for the reply though.
