Hi HN, I spent the past year building this in my spare time because I got tired of enterprise security tools that cost $50K/year and don't understand Linux. TheProtector is a comprehensive security monitoring tool that actually runs on the systems we use (Linux) instead of being a Windows-first afterthought. Built it entirely on a $500 laptop because I believe good security shouldn't require unlimited budgets. Features: - Real-time process, network, and file monitoring - YARA malware detection with custom rules - eBPF kernel monitoring (when available) - Behavioral baseline…

When I came across a study that traced 4.5 million fake GitHub stars, it confirmed a suspicion I’d had for a while: stars are noisy. The issue is they’re visible, they’re persuasive, and they still shape hiring decisions, VC term sheets, and dependency choices—but they say very little about actual quality. I wrote StarGuard to put that number in perspective based on my own methodology inspired with what they did and to fold a broader supply-chain check into one command-line run. It starts with the simplest raw input: every starred_at timestamp GitHub will give. It applies a…

Hi HN, Some misbehaving networks drop WireGuard packets either by accident or on purpose. Commonly the latter is done with simple DPI rules that block the handshake initiation [1], but it could be applied to other message types as well. We thought it would be great if there was tool for folks to use as a quick litmus test to see if this happening for them, without having to configure a client to send data through a random, functional WireGuard tunnel to an untrusted remote host. So we built probe.sh. How it works: - The probe.sh web app is an Elixir Phoenix app that spawns a few gen_udp…

Hi HN, Martin, Nils, and Jannes here. We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications. You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it. Today, most AI…

I do fullstack dev for work and side projects and recently moved everything to a couple VPSs on hetzner. Great setup, low cost, but one thing kept bugging me, how do I know if something is down without manually sshing in all the time? I tried the grafana + prometheus stack but the configuration time and seeing it use more resources than my actual apps was rough. Tried some smaller solutions too but nothing felt right. So I said screw it and built exactly what I wanted. tori is a single go binary that runs on your server, reads host metrics from /proc and /sys, monitors containers…

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a side project called torserv and figured I’d share it now that it’s live on GitHub. TorServ is a zero-config static web server that automatically launches as a Tor hidden service. It’s written in Go, bundled with Tor, and designed to be unzip-and-run — no setup, no clearnet exposure, no surprises. I was surprised there wasn’t already a privacy-hardened static web server for hidden services. Most people have to wrangle Apache or Nginx with heavy config, which is risky and complex for non-experts. TorServ is meant for censorship-resistant publishing, quick…

I've been researching the bot & proxies space for years. I slowly incubated a service to protect public forms, contents and APIs. It recenty reached a few million daily requests and I now dare to bring it to light. Truesign detects bots, proxies/vpns and fake emails, through a single request from the browser, without challenges or user interaction. It can block the request based on rules you choose, or grant a token with encrypted information about the visitor for you to decide. I created a few pages to showcase how it works: - https:/demo.truesign.ai/protected-form : a form…

I built an open-source malware detection daemon that monitors all running processes in real-time using ML + heuristics. No kernel modules or eBPF required. Key points: - Polls /proc for new processes (works on any Linux kernel 2.6+) - Random Forest model trained on EMBER 2018 dataset (2.3M samples) - Heuristic rules for crypto miners, ransomware, rootkits - ~20MB RAM, <1% CPU, sub-millisecond scan latency - Pure C, zero runtime dependencies - Model embedded directly in binary (50KB) Why I built this: Existing solutions either require modern kernels (eBPF) or are heavy/proprietary.…
