cve-bin-tool
The CVE Binary Tool helps you determine if your system includes known vulnerabilities. You can scan binaries for over 200 common, vulnerable components (openssl, libpng, libxml2, expat and others), or if you know the components used, you can get a list of known vulnerabilities associated with an SBOM or a list of components and versions.

I created two pull requests for Intel’s CVE Binary Tool. CVE Binary Tool is a tool that scans a file for known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.
But then... the run failed again and it had to do something with isort. Through this trial and error of multiple runs fails, I learned that there was something called pre-commit that checks a whole lot of things such as formatting and linting and most of my fails were formatting related. I then ran the pre-commit and fixed all errors before pushing my changes. Had I read their contribution guidelines a bit more carefully in the beginning, this would have been a lot easier.

Now, the only little knowledge and experience I have of CI/CD are from my cloud computing class where we used jest to write tests. I woke up to two emails stating that my run failed for both pull requests. It had something to do with black. Not knowing what it meant, I promptly sat to work to identify what went wrong. This was also the first time I properly learned to read those logs that shows the CI/CD runs. Black was checking for whitespaces and it was unhappy with the whitespaces that I left in the code. I had to go back and run black test/test_extractor.py to fix the formatting.
After searching for the perfect issues to solve as part of Hacktoberfest for about 10 days, I finally found them! Anyone participating in Hacktoberfest knows how hard it can get to find issues to contribute to. Issues are usually either taken or lack proper documentation to set up the development environment, or they may be something completely beyond one’s abilities.
