Probably because your blog post reads like spam, it is pretty much devoid of content.

Interesting. 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. :)

  I'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).

    Great feedback. We're definitely going to fix these for the next post. Thanks. :)

  I 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.

    We definitely have some of these in the works, and fair point regarding HN not being filled with typical "engineers." Thanks for the feedback.

  That had lower entropy than spam. Thank you. Does tinfoil care if I follow popular security standards?

    No 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. :)
