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.

A Deep Dive Into Terraform Static Code Analysis Tools: Features and Comparisons
tfsec Owner/Maintainer: Aqua Security (acquired in 2021) Age: First released on GitHub on March 5th, 2019 License: MIT License tfsec project is no longer actively maintained in favor of the Trivy tool. But because many people still use it and it's quite famous, I added tfsec to this comparison. However, I recommend against using it for new projects.

What are the best static analysis security testing tools for Terraform and infrastructure as code?
Beyond Snyk and Checkov - I have also used https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec at a few organizations both for use locally and in CI (PR Review Checks)

My Cloud Resume Challenge Journey
Once I completed the main steps of the challenge, I went back to do some security modificaions including enabled DNSSEC, deploying WAF (I ended up removing this as the costs were quite high and instead set up account level throttling for my API) and running IAM Access Analyser to flag anything I'd over permissioned. I also set up Git commit signing and added a new Git Action workflow to run Tfsec any time I updated my terraform config files

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
Terrascan is a static code analysis tool that scans your Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for security vulnerabilities and compliance violations. It supports multiple platforms like (AWS, Azure, GCP, K8s, Atlantis, etc), including Terraform. Terrascan allows you to enforce security best practices, compliance policies, and governance across your IaC deployments.

Testing Terraform Code
(https://runterrascan.io/) They seem to like it, don't have a ton of my own experience though.
- Can you use Powershell to mimic behavior of Azure policy
-
What product
Nessus Expert - newer offering. Nessus Pro + terrascan + basic external attack surface mapping. Doesn’t scan from the internet, but shows you all your public domains, DNS, etc so you can pick what you want to scan/ fix
-
Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
It is always a good practice to scan your Kubernetes deployment or Helm chart before deploying. We can use Checkov to scans Kubernetes manifests and identifies security and configuration issues. It also supports Helm chart scanning. We can also use terrascan and kubeLinter to scan the Kubernetes manifest.
