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…

nightwatch is a local-first, read-only layer on top of your monitoring. it groups alert storm into incidents, flags noisy checks and has an agent that can investigate for you live systems. You can e.g. jump from the incident into the agent directly. the reason for this weekend project is that we had a kubernetes upgrade that went wrong, and at some point a rollback wasn't possible anymore, so it had to be fixed live during the night while several problems came together. We run a lot of different systems, on-prem and several Kubernetes clusters, and in a situation like that you spend most of…

Hey HN! We're Ben and Izak, the cofounders of Vigilant. Vigilant is a lightweight tool for managing structured logs. It lets you centralize your logs, search them, and create alerts. We used Cloudwatch for logs on our last product, and it was quite painful. Even basic searches felt tedious. We’ve used dedicated observability tools at past jobs, but most of them have a steep learning curve and require widespread integration (and some still feel clunky). With Vigilant, we're focused on making logs feel fast and simple. We operate at the application layer with an sdk. We're trying a unique…

Hey HN, it's Farrukh and Umar. We're building listen.dev–a tool for proactive security monitoring in GitHub Actions to secure software releases from supply chain threats. Why we built this: As friends and collaborators for over a decade, we've been working on various startup ideas in dev tools and infrastructure. In 2017, while building an ML ops toolkit on Kubernetes, we got hacked. During a pilot with a fintech customer, our cluster became victim to a crypto-jacking attack. As it turned out, a dependency in our container base image contained malware (a Monero miner) which triggered inside…

Hi HN! After several months of work, I'm excited to share ProKZee, a free and open-source network security tool built with Go and React using Wails framework. ProKZee allows developers, security researchers, and penetration testers to intercept, inspect, and modify HTTP/S traffic — similar to tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Caido — but with a fast native UI, modern UX, and some unique features. https://github.com/al-sultani/prokzee
