x64dbg
An open-source user mode debugger for Windows. Optimized for reverse engineering and malware analysis.

keepassxc
KeePassXC is a cross-platform community-driven port of the Windows application “Keepass Password Safe”.
Ever heard of password mangers? Most password managers not only come with the simple function of saving your username and password, but often also with note/custom field sections (if you can, set the custom field to hidden in case you're in public with people snooping around). Those custom fields are neat for remembering a bunch of account specific things, such as remembering what your code is for the decoder puzzle during curse of Arrav. There's a bunch of password managers out there. Popular open-source password managers include Bitwarden and KeePassXC.

Project mention: An Overview of Kubernetes Security Projects at KubeCon Europe 2023 | dev.to | 2023-05-22
Falco is a well-known open source security solution originally created by Sysdig. It’s a CNCF incubating project and one of the few (as far as I can tell) options on this list that uses eBPF to scan for vulnerabilities.

There is concrete for homomorphic encryption, but that is not really a transport/compiler (yet).
-
openvpn3
OpenVPN 3 is a C++ class library that implements the functionality of an OpenVPN client, and is protocol-compatible with the OpenVPN 2.x branch.
All our products builds on what we call the "OpenVPN Core". In essence, that is the OpenVPN 2.x project and the OpenVPN 3 Core library. This is the "low level" code which provides the core VPN functionality.

Project mention: Ask HN: How do you trust that your personal machine is not compromised? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-15
I'm looking at current options, this[1] for example is packaged for Fedora, which is my daily driver.
But then I got to thinking, if I'm going to do a clean Fedora install for the tripwire (it's best practice) I might as well try Fedora Silverblue[2]. Silverblue is an immutable system so it kinda makes a tripwire less useful because no one can change any system files. Only files in your home directory and /etc can be modified statefully.
