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.

Wireshark & tcpdump: A Debugging Power Couple
To begin with Wireshark, visit their official website for the download. The installation process is straightforward, but attention should be paid to the installation of command-line tools, which may require separate steps. Upon launching Wireshark, users are greeted with a selection of network interfaces as seen below. Choosing the correct interface, such as the loopback for local server debugging, is crucial for capturing relevant data.

Non-IP networking
If you're very curious as to what is really going on under the hood, I recommend you familiarize yourself with port mirroring for your switch platform of choice, and then use a laptop in promiscuous mode to capture traffic using Wireshark. Failing that, hire a network engineer to interview one of their sales engineers or architects, and have them explain it to you.

How to implement SSL/TLS pinning in Node.js
A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.

Network+ Wireshark classification question
Obviously based on the question you know the answer is a Wireshark-like software and it boils down to how you classify Wireshark. My issue is that Wikipedia refers to it as a Packet Analyzer, Varonis refers to it as a Packet Sniffer, Wireshark refers to itself as a Network Protocol Analyzer, Kali documentation refers to it as a Network Sniffer, Wireshark's README refers to itself as a Network Analyzer OR Sniffer...

I use ZAP [1] with the OAST add-on for this at the moment. I admit the UX isn't perfect, but it serves my purpose.
If I also want control over the responses (e.g. return a 401 status code for every fifth request), I have a custom extender script [2] for that.

What is API Discovery, and How to Use it to Reduce Your Attack Surface
Implement tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP for in-depth security scanning of your APIs.

Autorize – The most popular tool to discover AuthZ/AuthN flaws
The use of capital punctuation implies a warning? an alert? Would this same response be warranted for Burp which is also a commercial, closed source product?
If this is an issue for some, then ZAP being open source[1] maybe favourable.
That said, Burp is the defacto tool for a reason - it's best in class. Every pentester I know, including myself, has a paid subscription. The fact that it's closed source hasn't been an issue.

Show HN: Pākiki Proxy – An intercepting proxy for penetration pesting
Briefly reviewed your product. Seems like OWASP ZAP is your competition: https://www.zaproxy.org/
It runs entirely in the browser so it uses the browser "native" frameworks.

Vulnerability Scanning of Node.js Applications
Dynamic analysis involves testing your application while it's running. Tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite can help identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection or Cross-Site Scripting by sending malicious requests to your application and analyzing the responses.

Is this fraud? And if so, to what extent am I responsible?
> Lying is not an embellishment or puffery, it's a lie. Engaging a company for a 3 day pen test that's totally insufficient, that would be an embellishment.
I agree, but if the RFP question was phrased "have you done penetration testing?" then that leaves a lot of room for embellishment. If the question is "do you have SOC2 certification?" and you answer "yes" untruthfully, then that is a lie. If they ask for the SOC2 or pentest report and you give them a falsified document, that's where you're (probably) committing fraud.
> One of the most important part of pen tests is that they are external.
AWS/Google/etc have internal security teams doing their pen tests, so no, this isn't true.
> Just doing your job as an engineer and looking for bugs is not a pen test.
What about an engineer spending an afternoon running ZAP[0]?
> It's like saying, "what is an audit really? We have accountants and they check our books for anomalies."
Yeah, which is why you don't just ask a company "do you keep track of your finances?" if you're investing in them, you request external auditors.

The essential security checklist for user identity
In addition to manual security reviews, you can also implement DevSecOps practices to automate security checks. For example, you can set up a CI/CD pipeline to run static code analysis tools like CodeQL and automatically run penetration tests using tools like OWASP ZAP.
