What is Heartbleed
Let’s be serious, you all know that!
When I found out first thing was looking
at the commit ( )
None
OK, so it’s the length. But it’s still not
clear. Let’s check the RFC.
None
JACKPOT. (why!?)
The first version. (A small wrapper and a patch to
crypto/tls) • A Go tool
66 LoC
12 LoC
The first version. (Calling the tool for each request)
• A Go tool • A Python HTTP API
26 LoC
The first version. • A Go tool • A
Python HTTP API • A GH Pages site (Static, simple)
None
And suddenly…

Then the new users: First from the media
And finally, The extensions!
The final setup Website: Static, hosted on GitHub
Pages
The final setup Backend: Amazon AWS, EC2 behind
a ELB (40 of them!)
The final setup Servers: Pure Go concurrent web/test
servers
The final setup SSL (later): CloudFlare
The final setup Cache (way later): 1hr on Amazon
NoSQL (DynamoDB)
The bug :(
