opensnitch VS rustsec

Can't forget about OpenSnitch, for those of you that would rather not buy a license to do this sorta thing: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

I was working on an old game; trying to understand its Network protocol, and how the binary behavior when something on the connections goes wrong, and something comes to my mind: "What if I could block the traffic to this server only for this process?" what brings me to OpenSnitch.

Have you seen OpenSnitch? https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

It's a Linux project that's replication what Little Snitch does on macOS - it doesn't decrypt TLS secured data but it does show and allow blocking of network connections (even if it can't see exactly what's going on inside this connections).

Combining eCapture features with OpenSnitch would be awesome. It'd be great if as well as tracking all network connection, you could flag connections sending specific data (like your name, email address, or phone number) to unexpected servers.

opensnitch has existed for a while now. I've never used it, so I can't comment on how well it works.

cargo-audit is a simple Cargo tool for detecting vulnerable Rust crates. You can install it with cargo install cargo-audit, use cargo audit and you’re done! Any vulnerable crates will appear below, like so:

Further we use cargo-auditable and cargo-audit as part of both our pipeline and regular scanning of all deployed services. This makes our InfoSec and Legal super happy since it means they can also monitor compliance with licenses and patch/update timings.

Yeah your decade old single header libs get so many audits by comparison.

cargo is not npm

PSA: before filing CVEs for other people's projects, file an issue with https://rustsec.org instead

Historically, such serious bugs get communicated broadly and addressed very quickly via security advisory blog posts and on https://rustsec.org.

For known vulnerabilities we have the rustsec vulnerability database. You could have a look over there for inspiration. There's also the related cargo-audit for checking dependencies for known vulnerabilities.

Would be cool if this was also reported to https://rustsec.org/ that way cargo audit could pick up and alert the users about it.

P.S. I also made scanning binaries 5x faster in the latest release of cargo audit.

Thanks to cargo and the community, project maintenance is straightforward in rust. You'll need to install cargo-outdated and cargo-audit:

Use the automated tools to assist you in the maintenance of your projects: rustfmt, clippy, cargo update, cargo outdated and cargo-audit.
