Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Nebula

    A scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security

  • I'm using Slack Nebula as a simple VPN mechanism. Nebula is how I network all of my computers together. It works 90% of the time (until you have other VPNs on, like work VPNs, then it can get confused, but hey).

  • Pritunl

    Enterprise VPN server

  • pritunl.com as the VPN server and a "roadwarrior" setup for my phone, laptop, and portable router help me route all my traffic through to my home network and out again when I stay away from home.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • endlessh

    SSH tarpit that slowly sends an endless banner

  • I'm also a fan of https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh

  • centos8-post-install

    Discontinued CentOS 8 Streams post install steps

  • I wrote myself a small guide loosely based on the NIST security checklist for new servers running RHEL/CentOS/Rocky 8, but the SSH components parts may still be usable in other OSes.

  • mistborn

  • ssh-audit

    SSH server & client security auditing (banner, key exchange, encryption, mac, compression, compatibility, security, etc) (by jtesta)

  • And an audit script to check your server: https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit
