24 alternatives to Tripwire: A new anti evil maid defense

If you have heard of [Haven](https://github.com/guardianproject/haven), then Tripwire fills in the void for a robust anti evil maid solution after Haven went dormant. The GitHub repo describes both the concept and the setup process in great details. For a quick overview, read up to the demo video. There is also a presentation of Tripwire available on the Counter Surveil podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-wPrOTm5qo

    I built a GitHub app that detects it in pull requests, notifies or blocks them. Alongside it, I published a Semgrep ruleset for any stage of the CI/CD. I started this after getting frustrated by all the FUD around malicious code - lots of noise, little effort to solve it. Having said that, it's still a major attack vector - a stored RCE, with the codebase itself as the sink. Feedback is appreciated. The app, PRevent - https://github.com/apiiro/PRevent The ruleset: https://github.com/apiiro/malicious-code-ruleset The research:…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share a project that I've been working on for a while and finally "completed" (until next time I try to improve it, that is). The idea is that I wanted my guest wifi password to change frequently, but I also didn't want my guests to hate me every time they came over to visit. Hence be_my_guest was born. Please let me know what you think!

    Hi HN, I’m the founder of https://b2v.xyz, a service that protects organizations against impersonation attacks. The problem I’m trying to solve stems from the following observation: while end-user authentication methods are becoming more advanced as cybersecurity evolves, organizations aren't experiencing the same improvements when we reverse the roles, i.e. when organizations authenticate themselves to their users. This imbalance leaves a gap in secure communications that B2V aims to close. Bad actors have countless ways to pose as trusted entities — through phishing, smishing,…

    Hello everyone I wanted to share a project I've been working on that I think you'll find really interesting. It's called Beelzebub, an open-source honeypot framework that uses LLMs to create incredibly realistic and dynamic deception environments. By integrating LLMs, it can mimic entire operating systems and interact with attackers in a super convincing way. Imagine an SSH honeypot where the LLM provides plausible responses to commands, even though nothing is actually executed on a real system. The goal is to keep attackers engaged for as long as possible, diverting them from your real…
