Security meme: best exploit mitigation is 3 attack surface reductions in a trenchcoat
dyn___ · x · 2026-10-21
This tweet reposts a classic joke from security researcher @justdionysus replying to @halvarflake: "The best exploit mitigation is 3 attack surface reductions in a trenchcoat."
The punchline satirizes "defense in depth" — many so-called mitigations are just attack surface reduction stacked and repackaged, like three kids in a trenchcoat pretending to be one adult, echoing the classic meme format later reused for LLMs.
