Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Linux Mint: It use mitigation of intel cpu bug?
- Package to Notify/check for Kernel Vulns?
-
Spectre Meltdown Checker gives summary of 1 red in Debian but 0 red in Fedora 36.
I tried the latest SMC from https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker and all were in green. :-)

AutoPWN Suite | I've created a python script you can use to scan your systems for vulnerabilities.
How is this project different spectre-meltdown-checker?

Can a laptop from 2012 be a viable home server?
OpenBSD will disable all but the first thread on any Intel processor by default. I'm assuming that these models are too old to have microcode updates addressing the Spectre exploits (Meltdown, Foreshadow, Fallout, Zombieload, RIDL etc.), and disabling SMT/HT might be the most secure thing to do by default.
This script produces a good assessment of Spectre problems for a wide variety of CPUs. I know that they are difficult to exploit, and the mitigations are disabled by many because of their performance impact.

Intel Finds Bug in AMD's Spectre Mitigation, AMD Issues Fix
You can confirm the status of the mitigations using InSpectre for Windows, or Spectre & Meltdown Checker if you're on a unix based system.

Any opinion about NUC as home server?
He's probably referring to the class of vulnerabilities checked by this script: https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker. It's not just Intel CPUs that were affected, AMD and ARM also have some vulnerabilities (I just ran it on an ARM v7 to see) although maybe not as many.

Hacking from anywhere
1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

CMV: The Second Amendment "right to bear arms" and the discussions surrounding gun control also apply to hacking tools.
I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Hackers Tools: Must-Have Tools for Every Ethical Hacker
Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)
-
Penetration Testing
This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
