    Streisand

    Streisand

    Streisand sets up a new server running your choice

    Streisand is a tool that automates the deployment of censorship-resistant VPN services on cloud servers. It was created to help users bypass internet censorship and surveillance by quickly setting up secure communication channels without needing deep system administration expertise. With just a cloud provider account and basic Unix command-line knowledge, Streisand can provision a server and configure multiple VPN and proxy protocols almost automatically. This includes OpenVPN, WireGuard, Shadowsocks, OpenConnect, and Tor bridges, often with optional add-ons like obfuscation or stunnel to resist throttling and detection. The result is a private website that hosts client software downloads and setup instructions for easy access. Streisand supports major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Linode, DigitalOcean, and Rackspace, while also offering installation options for advanced users with their own servers.

    sysadmin-util

    sysadmin-util

    Tools for Linux/Unix sysadmins

    sysadmin-util is a compact collection of small, practical command-line utilities gathered for everyday system administration tasks. The repository contains a variety of single-purpose scripts that solve common problems such as determining file ages, testing SSH connectivity, checking MySQL slave status, expanding IPv6 addresses, sending metrics to Graphite, and working with IP ranges. The project intentionally keeps the set small and focused, emphasising quality and personal usefulness over trying to be a large toolbox everyone adopts unchanged. Each tool is simple to inspect, easy to install, and written to be useful in scripting and cron workflows, with many commands designed to behave well in automation and monitoring contexts. The maintainer notes that personal toolkit preferences vary, encourages users to assemble their own curated collections, and points to a replacement repo for a more permissive contribution flow.

    EQGRP

    EQGRP

    Decrypted content of eqgrp-auction-file.tar.xz

    EQGRP is a public release of the so-called Equation Group hacking tools, originally leaked online in 2017. The repository serves as an archive and reference for security researchers, documenting the exploit frameworks, implants, and utilities that were allegedly used by a highly sophisticated threat actor. The tools include network exploitation scripts, backdoors, and frameworks targeting a range of platforms and services, many of which highlight previously unknown vulnerabilities. While the repository itself is provided for educational and research purposes, it also reflects a significant historical moment in cybersecurity, influencing both defensive strategies and awareness of advanced persistent threats. The release offers researchers insight into real-world offensive techniques, though many of the specific exploits are now outdated or patched. EQGRP remains a controversial but important resource for studying the evolution of nation-state-level cyber operations.

    OSCAL

    OSCAL

    Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL)

    NIST is developing the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL), a set of hierarchical, XML-, JSON-, and YAML-based formats that provide a standardized representation of information pertaining to the publication, implementation, and assessment of security controls. OSCAL is being developed through a collaborative approach with the public. Public contributions to this project are welcome. With this effort, we are stressing the agile development of a set of minimal formats that are generic enough to capture the breadth of data in scope (controls specifications), while also capable of ad-hoc tuning and extension to support peculiarities of both (industry or sector) standards and new control types. The OSCAL website provides an overview of the OSCAL project, including an XML and JSON schema reference, examples, and other resources.

    OpenAI Harmony

    OpenAI Harmony

    Renderer for the harmony response format to be used with gpt-oss

    Harmony is a response format developed by OpenAI for use with the gpt-oss model series. It defines a structured way for language models to produce outputs, including regular text, reasoning traces, tool calls, and structured data. By mimicking the OpenAI Responses API, Harmony provides developers with a familiar interface while enabling more advanced capabilities such as multiple output channels, instruction hierarchies, and tool namespaces. The format is essential for ensuring gpt-oss models operate correctly, as they are trained to rely on this structure for generating and organizing their responses. For users accessing gpt-oss through third-party providers like HuggingFace, Ollama, or vLLM, Harmony formatting is handled automatically, but developers building custom inference setups must implement it directly. With its flexible design, Harmony serves as the foundation for creating more interpretable, controlled, and extensible interactions with open-weight language models.

    Improved GAN

    Improved GAN

    Code for the paper "Improved Techniques for Training GANs"

    Improved-GAN is the official code release from OpenAI accompanying the research paper Improved Techniques for Training GANs. It provides implementations of experiments conducted on datasets such as MNIST, SVHN, CIFAR-10, and ImageNet. The project focuses on demonstrating enhanced training methods for Generative Adversarial Networks, addressing stability and performance issues that were common in earlier GAN models. The repository includes training scripts, evaluation methods, and pretrained configurations for reproducing experimental results. By offering structured experiments across multiple datasets, it allows researchers to study and replicate the improvements described in the paper. Although the project is archived and not actively maintained, it remains a reference point in the history of GAN research, influencing subsequent model training approaches.

    Public APIs

    Public APIs

    A collective list of free APIs

    public-apis is a collaboratively maintained repository that provides an extensive, categorized list of publicly available APIs for developers. Curated by community contributors and the team at APILayer, it serves as a centralized resource for discovering APIs across a wide range of domains, including data, machine learning, weather, entertainment, and finance. The project aims to make API exploration and integration more accessible by offering a single, organized index of open and free-to-use APIs. Developers can leverage this list to enhance their products, prototypes, or research projects without the need to build data sources from scratch. The repository’s open nature encourages contributions, allowing anyone to submit new APIs or updates through pull requests. Over time, public-apis has evolved into a trusted and frequently updated reference point within the developer community. It also provides an active community space, including a Discord server.
