Back in 2010, I was a Systems Administrator at a local company called eyemg.com.

I read jyn’s post about having a year to fix security everywhere this morning, and I’ve been thinking about it all day.

If you’ve been following Trentina, you know I’ve been beating the drum on prompt injection defense for a while now.

Many Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Red Hat Satellite customers are adopting Red Hat Hardened Images (RHHI), the productized, minimal container images built downstream from the upstream Fedora Hummingbird Linux project.

On Tuesday, July 21st, 2026, I discovered I got hacked.

May 12-13, 2026 | Atlanta, GA Speakers: Stef Walter & Scott McCarty At Red Hat Summit 2026, Stef Walter and I introduced Fedora Hummingbird Linux — a new Linux for Builders.

May 12-13, 2026 | Atlanta, GA Speakers: Brian Stinson & Scott McCarty At Red Hat Summit 2026, Brian Stinson and I presented “The Roadmap Beyond Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10: Building Platforms the Open Source Way.”

May 12-13, 2026 | Atlanta, GA Speakers: Jef Spaleta & Scott McCarty At Red Hat Summit 2026, Jef Spaleta (Fedora Project Lead) and I presented “From Fedora to RHEL: Building the Future of Enterprise Linux Together.”

A couple of years ago, if you had told me that the most dangerous thing on my infrastructure would eventually be a plain text file, I probably would have laughed and gone back to worrying about kernel CVEs.

I’ve been expanding MCP-Airlock well beyond its original scope for the past few months, and the name stopped fitting a while ago.
