Every Attack the Glass resource, in each published format: the introduction, the technical whitepaper and primer, the remediation playbook, and the FAQ. Each one keeps its versioned filename at a stable path, because a citation has to still mean what it meant when it was made.

Attack the Glass: Introduction

Attack the Glass in plain English, for a reader new to the subject. How people decide what to trust, why they believe what a screen shows them, how modern screens are assembled from other companies' resources, how that assembly can be used to deceive, who is in a position to do it, and what needs to happen next. Four parts, about an hour.

Attack the Glass: Technical Primer

The short technical introduction. A journalist checking a source document, a grid operator reading a control display, and a finance officer approving a transfer all decide on what a screen shows them, and none of them can check whether it shows what the system actually sent. Twenty-two sections, about half an hour.

Attack the Glass: Remediation Playbook

What to do about it, in three horizons: the first ninety days, months three to twelve, and beyond. No patch removes Attack the Glass, so an organization reduces it instead, and remediation sorts into three groups by what each change costs to make. Every measure ships today, and every one states plainly where it stops.
