About Barnes

Private internet presence since 1994, exploring and applying internet technologies.

Since the first publication, my focus has always been on understanding and applying technologies in the context of the internet. That's why you'll find "Projects" here that deal with infrastructure, engineering, software development, and knowledge transfer.

Additional Information

My name is Bernhard Kreinz or Bernie Kreinz, or simply Barnes. You can find more about me on LinkedIn. On Twitter, you can reach me at @fr33thought. Since Q1/23 also caught the LLM fever -> Tweaking my Website :-). Since December 22 - Out of necessity, developed the prototype "Thought Experiment on Cyber Threats" -> Project Cyber Risk Management ;-). Since 2004 okornok.com -> Project OKorNOK. Since November 1997 active with barnes.ch :-) -> including Project Teaching Webmasters. Since 1994 publishing and experimenting with a static IP. 1984 - I started with a Commodore 64 and an acoustic coupler.

Obviously, I am very passionate about the topic of cyber threats, which is why it deserves its own project. And it also influences my "playground" - but please take this part with humor.

OKorNOK

OKorNOK

One of the first social network websites, prototype created in 1994.

This is one of the very first social network websites ever. The prototype was created in 1994 when I was still working without my own domain. Curious? I call it OKorNOK. Who's coming? Who's not? For all kinds of occasions. Yes, I was here before Facebook—but without entrepreneurship ;-)

Additional Information

Today, this platform helps me stay proficient and up-to-date across the entire technology stack—knowledge is good, being able to apply knowledge is better ;-)

Top Level Cyber Threat Clusters (TLCTC)

By establishing a universal language for cyber threats, this framework redefines how organizations of all sizes identify, communicate, and manage cyber risks.

The scope and potential of the concept have earned it its own dedicated domain — where you'll always find the latest version and much more. You can access the original HTML white paper (up to version 1.4) here: 10 Top Level Cyber Threat Clusters
