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.

An Overview of Kubernetes Security Projects at KubeCon Europe 2023
Syft is a popular open source CLI tool created by Anchore for generating an SBOM from container images and filesystems. It’s designed to provide a catalog of dependencies for other tools to use as a data source. It supports many popular programming languages, package managers, and container image formats.

Launch HN: EdgeBit (YC W23) – live software vulnerability analysis
Inside of the SBOMs, we can detect a lot: https://github.com/anchore/syft#supported-ecosystems
You're right that the active/dormant detection needs to be customized per type of runtime. We cover rpm/deb, python and java with the node and others coming very soon. The compiled languages will be our main focus next. For example, Go binaries embed some dependency metadata in the binary itself.
Also related to this effort is the "in-toto" integrity chain: https://in-toto.io/in-toto/ Since we're already connecting build to run, we aim to complete the chain.

Building a software bill of materials (SBOM) using open source tools
Installing syft is pretty straight forward. On any Linux/Mac environment you can run the following command to install
- Free tool for generating SBOM and CVEs against source or binaries
-
'cargo auditable' can now be used as a drop-in replacement for Cargo
The data format is supported by cargo audit, Syft and Trivy. Reading it from your own tools is also very easy.

12 Things You Might Not Know About Buildpacks
A Software-Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) lists all the software components included in an image. Buildpacks support SBOMs in CycloneDX, Syft and SPDX formats.
-
`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
I think you can already do that using Syft.

Keeping up with dependencies like a boss
I'll continue relying on Anitya for the feed and syft/grype to build my SBOM and track vulnerabilities.

Wake-up call: why it's urgent to deal with your hardcoded credentials
Today corporations, open source projects, nonprofit foundations, and even governments are all trying to figure out how to improve the global software supply chain security. While these efforts are more than welcome, for the moment, there is hardly any straightforward way for organizations to improve on that front.

3 ways to improve your OSS project's resilience for Hacktoberfest
Syft is a popular open source tool that generates SBOMs for software applications and also containers. You can execute it manually and include the generated artifacts into your release, but you can also automate the process using a GitHub Action that will be triggered whenever you have a new release on your repository.

Show devsecops: OWASP dep-scan v5 - a next-generation security and risk audit tool for everyone
Today, it gives me great pleasure to announce OWASP dep-scan v5. Like everyone, I was constantly frustrated with the amount of false positives generated by all Software Composition Analysis tools (including mine) and wanted to do something. I worked closely with a few colleagues (Caroline, Tim, Saket, and David) for a year to build the various capabilities that together form depscan v5.

A package pretending to be the roblox API removed from NPM
Check out CycloneDX and cdxgen. It creates a software bill of materials, similar to a package-lock.json, that hashes all your dependencies so that if there's any drift you can easily detect tampering.
