SummerOfCode2021 VS OSQuery

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ - sign up as an org, you have until the 21st.

I'm interested in Google summer of code event but missed it last year. I want to attend the event this year and notice that Haskell.org was one of the organizations. It sounds really exciting, I hope Haskell.org will participate in GSoC this year as well. But I have little experience with Haskell, I'm worried about how to write an expressive proposal when I don't even know which projects they will focus on. Can anyone give me so resources or suggestions about the following question?

I also encourage you to look into Google Summer of Code (GSoC).

OSS have benefited from Google Summer of Code, Google has released many fundamental libraries as OSS such as Guava for Java, Abseil for C++, etc. Many have criticized that Google never made money of a lot of its innovations, and instead had others build their own based on Google's shared information (Hadoop, and later all nosql databases, for a quick example; Docker came to be from open source innovations that Google put into Linux for their own container system). Even as Google has begun monetizing, they still open source core parts of their products (such as Kubernetes) for their benefit.

They actually do something like that. It's called Summer of Code.

if you don't land anything, maybe consider Google Summer of Code.

I maintain a project called Meshery and one of the new contributors (who came in to get a GSoC internship) literally asked if I could explain what Meshery is.

Perhaps the OP means OsQuery: https://github.com/osquery/osquery

OsQuery is an SQLite extension consisting of hundreds of virtual tables

There's at least one open data quality issue for `process_open_sockets` on macOS[1]. It's a few years old however and, if you aren't seeing that casting error, you probably aren't hitting it. But that's a good example of the kind of debt that's been built up over time.

(In terms of general purpose/flexible tooling, I'm not aware of a close replacement for osquery.)

The largest we have successfully deployed is on the OSQuery schema https://osquery.io/ which is 277 tables and lots of business context (malwares, vulnerabilities, Windows registry keys, etc).

From a self hosted standpoint OSQuery or Wazuh are your best bets for monitoring USB devices. Windows makes blocking really challenging and I’m not aware of any “free” solutions that attempt it.

Configure auditd to monitor host activity: https://izyknows.medium.com/linux-auditd-for-threat-detection-d06c8b941505 or osquery: https://osquery.io/ (or similar software: filebeat for example).

OS Query : Easily ask questions about your Linux, Windows, and macOS infrastructure

Osquery + Fleet. https://osquery.io/ https://fleetdm.com/, using the two allows you to build a query to answer what ever questions you (or an auditor) might have about your environment.
