Project mention: Popular GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files is compromised | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-14
I've found firejail to be a useful tool for this (https://github.com/netblue30/firejail), and additionally use opensnitch (https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch) to monitor for unexpected network requests.
For CI/CD using something like ArgoCD let's you avoid giving CI direct access to prod - it still needs write access to a git repo, and ideally some read access to Argo to check if deployment succeeded but it limits the surface area.

requests-ip-rotator
A Python library to utilize AWS API Gateway's large IP pool as a proxy to generate pseudo-infinite IPs for web scraping and brute forcing.
> Ge0rg3’s code is “open source,” in that anyone can copy it and reuse it non-commercially. As it happens, there is a newer version of this project that was derived or “forked” from Ge0rg3’s code — called “async-ip-rotator” — and it was committed to GitHub in January 2025 by DOGE captain Marko Elez.
Original code: https://github.com/Ge0rg3/requests-ip-rotator
Forked: https://github.com/markoelez/async-ip-rotator
Code is pretty much the same, with comments removed, some `async` sprinkled in and minor changes (I bet this was just pasted into LLM with prompt to make it async, but if that worked why not).
Except... Original GPL3 license is gone. Obviously not something you would expect DOGE people to understand or respect.
