Nosey Parker is a command-line program that finds secrets and sensitive information in textual data and Git history.

Project mention: Magika: AI powered fast and efficient file type identification | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-15

Yes!
Sometimes a file has no extension. Other times the extension is a lie. Still other times, you may be dealing with an unnamed bytestring and wish to know what kind of content it is.
This last case happens quite a lot in Nosey Parker [1], a detector of secrets in textual data. There, it is possible to come across unnamed files in Git history, and it would be useful to the user to still indicate what type of file it seems to be.
I added file type detection based on libmagic to Nosey Parker a while back, but it's not compiled in by default because libmagic is slow and complicates the build process. Also, libmagic is implemented as a large C library whose primary job is parsing, which makes the security side of me jittery.
I will likely add enabled-by-default filetype detection to Nosey Parker using Magika's ONNX model.

radscanner

1 3 6.4 Rust

My take on minecraft server scanning (rust-based)

Project mention: Found the MC IP but not the Proxy | /r/LiveOverflow | 2023-09-11

The server IP was in a file with IPs I found, so I scanned them with my own scanner, radscanner. But I did not find the Proxy. Any hints? I know that the version String is kind of encrypted and the MOTD includes the String "N00bbot Proxy".
