DDactic

What it does

DDactic: automated DDoS resilience testing for security teams that already own a CDN/WAF. Enter your domain → passive attack-surface report in minutes (exposed origin IPs, unprotected subdomains, third-party SDK leaks, breach hits). Optional authorized live simulation across 233 attack mechanisms (L3-L7) from a 23+ provider multi-cloud lab fleet. Vendor-specific hardening playbook (Cloudflare, AWS, Imperva, Akamai...) validated by stage-reprobe. Free passive scan, no signup.

We’re signing early customers who help shape the product and establish trust. We’re offering significant discounts through slot programs . A five-stage passive + active recon pipeline maps the full attack surface before a single test packet is sent. Synthetic resilience simulations from our distributed load fleet across 23+ cloud platforms. No traffic to your production unless authorized. Full control and kill switches for the load fleet. Vendor-specific CLI commands and API scripts for Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, GCP, and more. Copy-paste snippets, not PDF advice. Once we earn your trust — we can take your protection provider's API key and continuously refine your…from ddactic.net

  DomainOptic: The All-in-One ToolkitDec 2025 · domainoptic.com · ▲2

  I built a tool that scans deployed websites for secrets in production bundles and forgotten API endpoints. https://domainoptic.com/audit Unlike repo scanners (TruffleHog, Gitleaks), this scans what's actually live. What an attacker sees when they view source or probe common paths. Tested it on 20 sites from Hacker News over the last two days. All indie projects, side hustles, Show HN launches. Results: - 1 site had 6 actual secrets (1 cloud credential, 5 API keys) - 5 sites (25%) had exposed API documentation (/swagger, /graphql, /api-docs) - 2 sites had…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
