OpenH264
Open Source H.264 Codec
Cisco has taken their H.264 implementation and open-sourced it under BSD license terms. Development and maintenance will be overseen by a board from the industry and the open-source community. Furthermore, we have provided a binary form suitable for inclusion in applications across a number of different operating systems and made this binary module available for download from the Internet. We will not pass on our MPEG-LA licensing costs for this module, and based on the current licensing environment, this will effectively make H.264 free for use on supported platforms. OpenH264 is a codec library which supports H.264 encoding and decoding. It is suitable for use in real-time applications such as WebRTC. Constrained Baseline Profile up to Level 5.2 (Max frame size is 36864 macro-blocks). Arbitrary resolution, not constrained to multiples of 16x16. Rate control with adaptive quantization, or constant quantization. -

Retire.js
Scanner detecting the use of JavaScript libraries
There is a plethora of JavaScript libraries for use on the web and in node.js apps out there. This greatly simplifies, but we need to stay updated on security fixes. "Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities" is now a part of the OWASP Top 10 and insecure libraries can pose a huge risk for your web app. The goal of Retire.js is to help you detect the use of versions with known vulnerabilities. Scan a web app or node app for use of vulnerable JavaScript libraries and/or node modules. grunt-retire scans your grunt-enabled app for use of vulnerable JavaScript libraries and/or node modules. Scans visited sites for references to insecure libraries and puts warnings in the developer console. An icon on the address bar displays will also indicate if vulnerable libraries were loaded. Retire.js has been adapted as a plugin for the penetration testing tools Burp and OWASP ZAP. -

Impacket
A collection of Python classes for working with network protocols
Impacket is a collection of Python classes designed for working with network protocols. It was primarily created in the hopes of alleviating some of the hindrances associated with the implementation of networking protocols and stacks, and aims to speed up research and educational activities. It provides low-level programmatic access to packets, and the protocol implementation itself for some of the protocols, like SMB1-3 and MSRPC. It features several protocols, including Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP, NMB and SMB1, SMB2 and SMB3 and more. Impacket's object oriented API makes it easy to work with deep hierarchies of protocols. It can construct packets from scratch, as well as parse them from raw data. -

Casbin
An authorization library that supports access control models
An authorization library that supports access control models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC for Golang, Java, C/C++, Node.js, Javascript, PHP, Laravel, Python, .NET (C#), Delphi, Rust, Ruby, Swift (Objective-C), Lua (OpenResty), Dart (Flutter) and Elixir. In Casbin, an access control model is abstracted into a CONF file based on the PERM metamodel (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers). So switching or upgrading the authorization mechanism for a project is just as simple as modifying a configuration. Besides memory and file, Casbin policy can be stored into lots of places. Currently, dozens of databases are supported, from MySQL, Postgres, Oracle to MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, AWS S3. Check the full supported list at: adapters. Casbin is implemented in Golang, Java, PHP and Node.js. All implementations share the same API and behaviors. You can learn Casbin once and use it everywhere. In Casbin, the policy storage is implemented as an adapter(aka middleware for Casbin). -

Google APIs Node.js Client
Google's supported Node.js client library
Google's supported Node.js client library for accessing Google APIs. Support for authorization and authentication with OAuth 2.0, API Keys and JWT (Service Tokens) is included. The full list of supported APIs can be found on the Google APIs Explorer. The API endpoints are automatically generated, so if the API is not in the list, it is currently not supported by this API client library. These client libraries are supported by Google. However, these libraries are considered complete and are in maintenance mode. This means that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any new features. For Google Cloud Platform APIs, we recommend using google-cloud-node which is under active development. This library supports the maintenance LTS, active LTS, and current release of node.js. -

Awesome Privacy
A curated list of privacy & security-focused software and services
Awesome Privacy is a curated directory of privacy-respecting alternatives to mainstream apps and services, organized across many categories like browsers, search, email, messaging, cloud storage, and operating systems. It aims to help you choose tools that reduce tracking, fingerprinting, and data collection without sacrificing usability. Each entry highlights the project’s core properties—such as open source status, end-to-end encryption, and platform availability—so you can evaluate trade-offs quickly. Because product landscapes change fast, the list emphasizes ongoing maintenance and community discussion around quality and trust. It’s useful for privacy newcomers planning a gradual migration as well as experts building a hardened toolchain. The project also surfaces learning resources and practical guidance so you can understand the broader privacy landscape, not just pick tools in isolation. -

Dunst
Lightweight and customizable notification daemon
Dunst is a lightweight replacement for the notification daemons provided by most desktop environments. It’s very customizable, isn’t dependent on any toolkits, and therefore fits into those window manager-centric setups we all love to customize to perfection. Customize fonts, icons, timeouts, and more. Are you unhappy with the default shortcuts and colors? No worries, you can change these all with a simple configuration file tweak. Change the look or behavior of notifications matching a specified pattern. You could use this to change the color of message notifications from your favorite jabber buddies, or to prevent important work email notifications from disappearing until you manually dismiss them. Specify the monitor that notifications should display on, or have them appear on the monitor with keyboard or mouse focus. Catch an unread notification disappearing from the corner of your eye? Just tap a keyboard shortcut to replay the last notification. -

phprbac
PHP Role Based Access Control library
RBAC (role based access control) is the de-facto standard in authorization and access control, because its much easier to maintain and use than traditional ACLs. Unfortunately due to its complicated internals, not many implementations are available. PHP RBAC is compatible with NIST Level 2 RBAC standard and provides even more, with best performance yet available for any authorization library, and its for PHP. Note: Development and support has been moved to Github (https://github.com/OWASP/rbac). New releases will continue to be released here on SF. -

LibSecRm - Secure Removal Library
A library for secure deleting data on-the-fly
LibSecRm (LIBrary for SECure ReMoval) is a set of replacements for these standard C functions which cause data removing from files. The data is first securely wiped on-the-fly, to protect the user's privacy, then the original functions are called. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibSecRm is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibSecRm loaded. LibSecRm is also a development library. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. See the project homepage https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To wipe data that was left on the drive by using "normal" delete operations, you can take a look at WipeFreeSpace (https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io), which wipes the space used by files marked as deleted (and other things, too). -
