    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.

    My two PRs for Intel’s CVE-Binary-Tool got merged! These (Fix1 , Fix 2) were my first ever Hacktoberfest merges. These were small contributions but big confidence boosters. I am a beginner in programming, and if I can make small contributions, so can you. From one beginner to another – start small, try your best, trust the process, and ask for help.

  • ifme

    Free, open source mental health communication web app to share experiences with loved ones

    On a more positive note - I did write all the other tests required. I sent a PR anyway, even though I could not cover all lines.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • rahat-agency

    Agency management system for Rahat

    Well, I tracked down the person who did the pull request and found out that he was a blockchain developer and worked for Rahat Agency. I looked him up on LinkedIn and sent him a connection request expressing my interest in contributing to Rahat and how cool I thought the project was. He immediately replied and asked if I had any problems with the development environment setup. I did face errors and issues. I sent him screenshots through the LinkedIn chat and he asked me to remove a package named rumsan-ui and send in a PR. I sent the PR as asked, but that led to more errors being generated. I then provided details of the errors and the same screenshots under this GitHub discussion, helping them on their journey in collecting feedback from others who are trying to run their project. I am looking forward to making more contributions to their project.
