The innocent looking Gleipnir (the slippery, not easily handled witchcraft) is made from the roots of the mountain, the noise that the cat makes when it walks, the sinews of a bear, the spittle of a bird, breath of a fish, beard of a woman.
In the end Týr (Tyr), the brightness of clear sky, the valiant righteousness, the valiant fighter, the human intelligence or consciousness (the sky-god symbol of infinite space in myths), or the bull, the power of the animal in us, offered his hand into the sharp-teethed negativity.
Gleipnir was put on Fenrir, and the harder he tried the stronger became the magic bonds that hold the corrosive deteriorating negative powers in the world until ragnarök (ragna-roek).

  Gleipnir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gleipnir is the bindings that hold the mighty wolf Fenrisulfr in Norse Mythology.
Gleipnir, having bound the Fenrisulfr securely, was the cause of Týr's lost arm, for the Fenrisulfr bit it off when he was not freed.
Gleipnir will hold until Ragnarök, when the bindings will break and Fenrir will devour Odin.

 Gleipnir Project at MSR SVC
Gleipnir, in Norse mythology, is a magic chord used to bind the monstrous wolf Fenrir, thinner than a silken ribbon yet stronger than the strongest chains of steel.
These chains were crafted for the Norse gods by the dwarves from "the sound of a cat's footfall and the woman's beard and the mountain's roots and the bear's sinews and the fish's breath and bird's spittle".
The Gleipnir project at MSR SVC is an investigation into security mechanisms that mitigate software vulnerabilities, i.e., without eliminating the underlying program errors make vulnerabilities difficult or impossible to exploit in a successful attack.

 Fenrir
The result was a soft, thin ribbon: Gleipnir.
The gods were not overly eager to do this, knowing what they could expect.
Finally, only Tyr agreed, and the gods chained the wolf with Gleipnir.
