24 alternatives to Lilith-zero: Ultra-fast, Rust-based security middleware for MCP
Lilith Zero is a high-performance security runtime designed to mitigate data exfiltration and unauthorized tool invocation in LLM-based agent systems. By interposing at the transport layer, Lilith Zero enforces security invariants through deterministic policy evaluation and strictly framed execution. Lilith Zero is OS, framework, and language agnostic, providing uniform security primitives across diverse implementation environments.

Hi HN, I've been building Nucleus, a lightweight Linux container runtime focused on two workloads: ephemeral AI-agent sandboxes and declarative NixOS services. It's a single Rust binary, no daemon. It is not a Docker replacement and not a strict subset of Docker either. I dropped the entire image-and-distribution half (no Dockerfile, no layers, no registry, no pull/push, no persistent storage layer) in exchange for going deeper on isolation and reproducibility. The rootfs is either a directory copied into tmpfs (agent mode) or a Nix-built closure mounted read-only (production mode). If…

Hello HN, What is CambiOS? A microkernel OS built in Rust, that boots in QEMU under x86_64, AArch64, and RISC-V - targeting formal verification. Processes are assigned unforgeable cryptographic identity and IPC gates access to only allowed endpoints. What does it want to be? Ambitious. Cutting away latent security issues, corporate surveillance, centralized identity and data hosting, and OPEN. With the advent of the coding tools, building the things we want is a bit less of a lift. Could it replace Windows? Sure. That's where the idea was born. Secure and intuitive, in a nutshell. I've been…

Hi, over the past few months I've been working on this project: Numax is a small Rust runtime that does three things: it runs WebAssembly modules in a sandbox, has a built-in local key-value store, and syncs everything across nodes with CRDTs and gossip. Basically, you write a wasm module, run it on two machines, and they converge (I hope !). It's a decentralized system... I hope someone finds it interesting! There's a whitepaper I've put a lot into, and I think the code isn't bad either! I believe there's still room in this world for software that's fun and well made, and while building…

ZeroID is an open-source agent identity platform that automates the "plumbing" of RFC 8693 and SPIRE. It ensures that every sub-agent in a chain has a down-scoped, verifiable identity without the manual overhead of managing certificates and token exchanges.

I’ve been working on a multi-agent academic research lab, and I wanted to share it here today primarily to give a massive shoutout to the developers behind ZeroClaw. When designing the architecture for this, I needed an autonomous agent runtime that was lightweight, entirely agnostic, and highly secure for local execution. ZeroClaw’s pure Rust implementation provided exactly the zero-overhead foundation the project required. Because they solved the core runtime execution so elegantly, I was able to spend my time building the higher-level orchestration on top of it—like the retrieval graph…

I've always been fascinated by cryptographic principles, so I decided to dive deep into zero-knowledge proofs and implement a Groth16 proof verifier entirely in Rust. This project validates cryptographic proofs and demonstrates how succinct, verifiable computations can be achieved. Using Rust's powerful libraries like arkworks, I implemented pairing checks, public input commitments, and proof validation logic while ensuring the code remains modular and efficient. I handled the complexities of affine group operations, scalar multiplications, and optimized public input verification to make…

I recently came across an amazing post that really emphasizes the dangers associated with installing npm packages. It seems that every week a new supply chain attack occurs. In my opinion, the existing solutions for this don't quite cut it so I decided to create a library which provides runtime protection for Node. It currently protects against: - Unauthorized file system access - Unauthorized network access - Unauthorized command execution - (by way of exec/spawn) I just released the first beta version of the library and I'd love to hear what you guys think. Note: Protection is still…
