WTF secrets. “This publication, in whole or in part, may not be reproduced, stored in a computerized, or other retrieval system or transmitted in any form, or by any means whatsoever without the prior written permission of Coverity, Inc.” Says the presentation in big bold letters on the front page.

Which one sounds most like you?
