Note: This repository serves as a historical index. The Proof of Concepts listed below have graduated to their own dedicated repositories.
Proof of Coffee is a curated portfolio of advanced security automation experiments, exploring the boundaries of what is possible with modern infrastructure and cryptographic primitives.
Each project represents a specific "what if" scenario—from hardware-backed multi-party computation to zero-trust CI/CD pipelines—demonstrating that security can be both rigorous and creative.
The following projects have moved to their own homes to facilitate focused development and community contribution.
John Menerick is a distinguished security engineer and researcher known for breaking things to build them better. With a deep focus on detection engineering, infrastructure security, and cryptographic orchestration, John crafts solutions that challenge the status quo of security automation.
This collection stands as a testament to the philosophy that security should be an enabler, not a blocker—and that the most robust systems are often born from the most creative experiments.
These projects are open for learning and inspiration. Use at your own risk—great for knowledge, bad for uptime if deployed without care.
