  • Magika: AI powered fast and efficient file type identification

    Is it safe to assume that hashing (1) every file on disk, or (2) any given file on disk at random, will yield random bits with uniform probability; and (3) why Argon2 instead of e.g. only two rounds of SHA256?

    https://github.com/google/osv.dev/blob/master/README.md#usin... :

    > We provide a Go based tool that will scan your dependencies, and check them against the OSV database for known vulnerabilities via the OSV API. ... With package metadata, not (a file hash, package) database that could be generated from OSV and the actual package files instead of their manifest of already-calculated checksums.

    Might as well be heating a pool on the roof with all of this waste heat from hashing binaries build from code of unknown static and dynamic quality.

    Add'l useful formats:

    pyscan uses OSV as its database for now. There are plans to add a few more.

    JSON-LD or RDFa (RDF in HTML attributes) in at least the /index.html the HTML footer should be sufficient to indicate that there is structured linked data metadata for crawlers that then don't need an HTTP request to a .well-known URL /.well-known/ai_security_reproducibility_carbon.txt.jsonld.json

    OSV is a new format for reporting security vulnerabilities like CVEs and an HTTP API for looking up CVEs from software component name and version. https://github.com/google/osv.dev#third-party-tools-and-inte... :

  • Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
    149 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Apr 2023
    Something I've recently worked on is building an SQLite database of all the dependencies my organisation uses, which makes it possible to write our own queries and reports. The tool is all Open Source (https://dmd.tanna.dev) and has a CLI as well as the SQLite data.

    Ive used it to look for software that's out of date (via https://endoflife.date), to find vulnerablilities (via https://osv.dev) and get license information (via https://deps.dev)

    It's been hugely useful for us understanding use of internal and external dependencies, and I wish I'd built it earlier in my career so I could've had it for other companies I've worked at!

  • Malicious library inits?
    2 projects | /r/golang | 15 Jan 2023
    Something like osv-scanner (https://osv.dev/), Github's depandabot etc would help to a great extend in detecting malicious dependencies. Not much else be done I guess
