Thomas Pornin actually posted a lot of answers on multiple sites on the StackExchange network, under two different accounts:

https://stackexchange.com/users/92852/thomas-pornin

https://stackexchange.com/users/969353/tom-leek

It's worth noting that on security.stackexchange.com , The Bear and his alter ego are no.1 and 2 by reputation, respectively.
