I built a DNS resolver that lets me use https://frontend.numa instead of localhost:5173 — auto-generated TLS certs, WebSocket passthrough, path routing. No mkcert, no nginx, no /etc/hosts.

Last week Cloudflare released Cap'n Web [1], a schema-free capability-based RPC protocol. I built capn-rs this week - a Rust implementation with full wire protocol compatibility. Links: GitHub: https://github.com/currentspace/capn-rs Crates: https://crates.io/crates/capnweb-server API docs: https://docs.rs/capnweb-server What's working: Wire compatibility verified via integration tests against TypeScript reference Multi-transport: HTTP batch, WebSocket, WebTransport (HTTP/3) Complete IL (intermediate language) expression evaluator…

Hi HN! I built RustNet, a Terminal UI based network monitor written in Rust that shows real-time connections with process identification and protocol detection. What may make it interesting: • Deep packet inspection for HTTP, HTTPS/TLS (with SNI), DNS, and QUIC protocol detection • Process identification using eBPF on Linux (experimental) and PKTAP on macOS which does also catch short-lived processes that polling procfs or lsof would miss • Multi-threaded packet processing with lock-free data structures for the UI • Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows but process identification so far…

Hello HN! I'm an engineer at Splitgraph and recently started learning Rust so I could make my first contribution to Seafowl [0], an early stage analytical database. Along the way I figured out a database hosting hack on GCP and wanted to share it with HN. It's a way to achieve "true" scale to zero database hosting that could be useful for certain side projects or spiky traffic situations. A recurring problem I've faced with side projects is the need for Postgres, but no desire to deploy or maintain new instances. So when I learned GCP's "always free" tier includes serverless [1] I got…

BoringSSL and nghttp2. Matches JA3N, JA4, and JA4_R fingerprints. Supports HTTP/2, async/await, and works with Cloudflare-protected sites. Not trying to compete with curl_cffi - just a learning project that turned into something functional.

This is an educational reference implementation showing how to build reasonably secure, standards-compliant authentication from first principles on Cloudflare Workers. Stack: Hono, Turso (libSQL), PBKDF2-SHA384 + normalization + common-password checks, JWT access + refresh tokens with revocation support, HTTP-only SameSite cookies, device tracking. It's deliberately minimal — no OAuth, no passkeys, no magic links, no rate limiting — because the goal is clarity and auditability. I wrote it mainly to deeply understand edge-runtime auth constraints and to have a clean Apache-2.0 example that…

Hi HN, I’m part of the team building Sniphi. Sniphi is a modular digital nose that uses gas sensors and machine-learning models to convert volatile organic compound (VOC) data into a machine-readable signal that can be integrated into existing QA, monitoring, or automation systems. The system is currently in an R&D phase, but already exists as working hardware and software and is being tested in real environments. The project grew out of earlier collaborations with university researchers on gas sensors and odor classification. What we kept running into was a gap between promising lab results…

Hi HN! We’re Ethan and Danny, the authors of Tangent (https://github.com/telophasehq/tangent), a Rust-based log pipeline where all normalization, enrichment, and detection logic runs as WASM plugins. We kept seeing the same problems in the OCSF (https://ocsf.io) community: 1) Schemas change constantly. Large companies have whole teams dedicated to keeping vendor→OCSF mappings up to date. 2) There’s no shared library of mappings, so everyone recreates the same work. 3) Writing mappers is tedious, repetitive work. 4) Most pipelines use proprietary DSLs that are…

Hey everyone, I was always tired of setting up PowerDNS, Bind and PiHole and I am trying to do more projects in Rust, so here is Nomina. It has: * Split Horizon DNS (return a different IP/record if remote IP is in a certain network etc) * DynDNS Support * Blocklist Integration * DHCP4+6 Server * AXFR/IXFR support * Rewriting of records It can replace most of the common Home Lab setups incl. PiHole AdBlocking etc. https://github.com/DatanoiseTV/Nomina

Hello Hacker News! We're Roxane, Julien, Pierre, Mawen and Stephane from Anyshift.io. We are building a GitHub app (and platform) that detects Terraform complex dependencies (hardcoded values, intricated-modules, shadow IT…), flags potential breakages, and provides a Terraform ‘Superplan’ for your changes. To do that we create and maintain a digital twin of your infrastructure using Neo4j. - 2 min demo : https://app.guideflow.com/player/dkd2en3t9r - try it now: https://app.anyshift.io/ (5min setup). We experienced how dealing with IaC/Terraform is…

Hi HN, I’m Pavel. I built Sklad because, as a DevOps engineer, I was frustrated with how I handled operational data. I constantly need access to SSH passwords (where keys aren't an option), specific IP addresses, and complex CLI one-liners. I realized I was storing them in insecure text files or sticky notes because standard clipboard managers felt too bloated and password managers were too slow for my workflow. I wanted a "warehouse" for this data—something that lives quietly in the system tray, supports deep hierarchy, works completely offline, and looks industrial. The app is built with…

I am happy to announce Stalwart SMTP [1], a modern SMTP server developed in Rust with a focus on security, speed, and extensive configurability. It features built-in DMARC, DKIM, SPF and ARC support for message authentication, strong transport security through DANE, MTA-STS and SMTP TLS reporting, and offers great flexibility and customization thanks to its dynamic configuration rules and native support for Sieve scripts. The project has been recently awarded a grant from NLNet and the European Commission's Next Generation Internet program to develop a mail server in Rust. The next step in…

Hey HN, we're Evis and Nick from Neosync (https://www.github.com/nucleuscloud/neosync). Since we last introduced Neosync on HN 4 months ago, we’ve made a lot of progress and we’re excited to be launching several new features. As a reminder, Neosync is an open source platform that helps developers anonymize production data, generate synthetic data, subset it and sync it across their environments for better testing, debugging and developer experience. We do all of this while handling referential integrity. Whether you have primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints,…
