What it does
HoneyWire is a fully self-hosted, distributed deception platform builder, with a point-in-time CLI wizard that deploys hardened, distroless Docker trap containers (TCP tarpits, file canaries) in 60 seconds. It features a centralized Hub UI for instant fleet management, visibility, out-of-the-box SIEM forwarding, and push notifications. Deception technology shouldn't cost 10k, everyone should have access to it.
Turn any Linux box into a hardened cyber canary in 60 seconds. A free, open-source distributed deception platform for detecting lateral movement without persistent daemons.

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…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
