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

    The Go programming language

  • Not that great. The first outer layer here is pining. It's been discussed for some time now but not yet available in go. It may hit 1.19 maybe... (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/46787)

  • endlessh

    SSH tarpit that slowly sends an endless banner

  • This is not the best solution (fail2ban and 2fa would be better) but https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh is a neat tool if you want to annoy someone with unsophisticated scripts. It’s worth noting that annoying a script kiddie might get you ddosed.

  • 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.

  • torsocks

    Library to torify application - NOTE: upstream has been moved to https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git

  • Many of them are unintentional: a device sitting on the open internet has some vulnerability and gets exploited. Bad guy sets up a proxy on the device and uses it to click a bunch of ads using bots, or crawl Google results, or launch attacks, etc.

    Some of them are very intentional: https://www.torproject.org/

  • iprange-rs

    A Rust library for managing IP ranges

  • The `iprange` library contains two bits of `unsafe` code [0]. I looked at the code and saw no compelling reason for it to disable the Rust compiler's correctness checks. I use Rust because of its correctness checks. I tend to avoid libraries that throw away this benefit.
