Safely store secrets in Git using Blackbox
Blackbox is a great tool for securely storing secrets within a Git repository. It provides an easy-to-use PGP encryption system, which ensures that secrets are kept safe and secure. Furthermore, Blackbox can also be used in GitHub Actions as a secret repository, allowing developers to quickly load secrets into their pipelines. With its robust security and automated processes, Blackbox is an excellent tool for securely storing secrets within Git.

Blackbox - Secrets amongst your code
One of the major concerns amongst developers is how to store shared secrets. Storing secrets in a config file along with your source code is problematic as it can compromise privacy. Storing it outside without proper process or documentation can tend to be forgotten (not saying this is not good as using SAAS tools like Vault is the way to go). But in case you have a limited budget and limited capability, using GPG is the way to go. Here comes Blackbox.

Looking for an interesting project to contribute
Interested in making GPG easier to use for encrypting secrets in Git? https://github.com/StackExchange/blackbox is being rewritten in Go and needs help testing, improving, ensuring compatibility, etc.

Fail2ban Sucks
sounds fun; i see the arch aur has a few options as well. have you tried https://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/ ?

Has anyone ever had their homelab or network hacked? What happened?
Yes that's the basic idea, i tried to use fwknop first but it didn't do what i wanted it to do so i made my own

How to securely enable SSH access to my home network?
Port knocking. Or better yet FWKNOP. I'm disappointed I don't hear people talk about it more. The port isn't even open until you give the secret combination of knocks on a large number of ports. There's much more to it. I recommend listening to Episode 865 ofSecurity Now.

Show HN: Knockles – eBPF Port Knocking Tool
> Is this approach used elsewhere?
Yes, or at least in a similar fashion. An alternative variant of port knocking is SPA (Single Packet Authorization). Often SPA protocols use UDP and contain within the body field an encrypted payload containing all the required data to authenticate and authorize a particular request.
There are multiple different implementations of SPA: OpenSPA [1] (full disclosure: I am the author of OpenSPA), fwknop [2] just to name a few.
SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) often builds upon SPA technologies in order to achieve a form of zero trust access.

I am currently re-writting the OpenSPA protocol (version 2) and I plan on playing around with eBPF as well, so thanks eeriedusk for paving the way :)

Who's Attacking My Server?
An upgrade to port knocking is Single Packet Authorization [1]. It doesn’t suffer from the observability, and other, problems of port knocking.

How Self Hosting (and password reuse) led to the compromise of Linked In, Dropbox, & more.
Or keep the port closed like I do with my ssh port and use fwknop to open the port only when needed.
