  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

    Project mention: I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC) | dev.to | 2024-03-18

    Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

    Project mention: Chi: Lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-02
  • httprouter

    A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

    Project mention: Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Initialization and setup | dev.to | 2023-06-02

    Following the completion of the series — Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit — I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!

  • chisel

    A fast TCP/UDP tunnel over HTTP

    Project mention: Actual SSH over HTTPS | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-23

    Personally I use https://github.com/jpillora/chisel as a reverse Proxy through nginx, then connect through it using OpenVPN to bypass a similarly restrictive firewall. But this discussion is filled with other, similar hacks, I may have to try some of them.

  • wuzz

    Project mention: Performance benchmark of PHP runtimes | dev.to | 2024-01-17

    FrankenPHP

  • sliver

    Adversary Emulation Framework

    Project mention: With VPN's such as Twin Gate and TailScale, why open ports to expose services to the internet? | /r/selfhosted | 2023-07-05

    IDK if you are too young to remember the fallout from Snowden, but the Kremlin threw out entire rooms computers and for a time used actual typewriters. Because those computers had, more or less, twingate connectors on them. That's a bit of a rich example, but you're essentially installing what sliver calls an implant, what meterpreter calls a payload, and what Cobalt Strike calls a beacon. It's cool if you want to, but there's no need when you can just open a port with the same technology a Fortune 50 does.

    Project mention: Discussion: Are we entering the golden age of hacking, where software written by language models that "looks correct" to the lazy human operator is used despite being full of vulnerabilities? | /r/hacking | 2023-03-22

    Why? There is a ready script for that https://github.com/codesenberg/bombardier

    Tunneling services can be considered as a solution in some cases. Services like ngrok, frp, localtunnel and sish create a public endpoint that tunnels communication to your local endpoint via a tunnel client.
