Perhaps the OP means OsQuery: https://github.com/osquery/osquery
OsQuery is an SQLite extension consisting of hundreds of virtual tables

Everything Hiew can do, Rizin[1] can do too, and is completely free and open source[2] under LGPL3 license. Moreover, it supports more architectures, platforms, and file formats, as well as GUI in Qt - Cutter[3][4]. If something is missing in Rizin but presented in Hiew, please let us know by opening the issue with details.

Like snort, but looks at system calls.

I'm running a tor bridge on my home proxmox box, and I'm interested in running an i2p node as well but I have no experience with this. From what I was able to gather the easiest way is to install the i2pd .deb (https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases).
So what's the difference between nsjail[1] and bubblewrap[2]?
Sorry for the late answer. Yes, there is. We hoped a Keystone-based[1] plugin would be a better alternative since it's based on the LLVM code, but the project looks abandoned now[2].

You want USBGuard. Its probably available in your distro repository. Its a very neat piece of software!
