What SimeonOnSecurity learned about and found interesting today
Awesome Security:
- https://github.com/sbilly/awesome-security
- A great list of awesome security tools. I plan to continue reading into the items in the list.
PSScriptAnalyzer:
- https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer
- A static code checker for PowerSell Modules and scripts. I plan on working with it into my module and script development workflow.
personal-security-checklist:
- https://github.com/Lissy93/personal-security-checklist
- A great resource to send to people beginning to take privacy and security seriously. I have some criticisms and potentially I’ll make my own version.
Awesome Selfhosted:
- https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
- A great list of awesome self-hosted tools and software. I plan to continue reading into the items in the list.
HomelabOS:
- https://homelabos.com/
- An interesting HomeLab setup making home services really eazy to set up. I’m not a fan of self-hosting. But something like this makes for an eazy set up for lightly-technical users. I might recommend this to some people. I don’t personally wish to use something like it. All-in-one packages are generally harder to lock-down and secure.
DockSTARTer:
- https://dockstarter.com/
- Similar to HomeLabOS (above), provides a simplified way to deploy self-hosted services and has some future potential. HomelabOS seems to have better support.
FreedomBox:
- https://freedombox.org/
- FreedomBox is a private server for non-experts: it lets you install and configure server applications with only a few clicks. It runs on cheap hardware of your choice, uses your internet connection and power, and is under your control.
- Similar to both HomeLabOS and DockSTARTer, FreedomBox is a solution to self-host privacy-oriented services rapidly.
