The Bitwarden server, reimplemented in Rust: Vaultwarden (formerly bitwarden_rs) is the unofficial lightweight edition. It speaks the same wire protocol as the official server, so every official Bitwarden client - browser extensions, iOS, Android, desktop, and the bw CLI - connects without modification, while the server itself runs as a single container against SQLite (or MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL) instead of the official multi-container stack that wants gigabytes of RAM. Features Bitwarden gates behind paid tiers ship free: organizations with collections, groups, member roles, and policies; TOTP code storage; file attachments; Bitwarden Send; Emergency Access; event logs; and admin password reset. Two-factor options cover authenticator apps, email, FIDO2 WebAuthn, YubiKey, and Duo, and OIDC-based SSO landed natively in v1.35.0. Zero-knowledge encryption is unchanged - vault data is encrypted client-side and the master password never reaches the server. Attachments and Sends store on local disk or S3-compatible backends, an admin panel manages users and server settings, and backup is copying one data directory. Suited to individuals and teams up to roughly 50 users.

With over 13,000 GitHub stars and active monthly releases, Mailcow delivers a production-ready mail server infrastructure through Docker Compose orchestration of twelve integrated containers. The stack pairs Postfix as the MTA handling SMTP traffic with Dovecot for IMAP and POP3 retrieval featuring the Flatcurve full-text search engine, while Rspamd provides machine-learning-powered spam filtering with Bayesian classification, DKIM signing, and ARC support. ClamAV scans attachments for malware including Office document macro analysis via Olefy, and SOGo serves as a responsive webmail client with CalDAV, CardDAV, and Microsoft ActiveSync synchronization. The admin panel manages multiple domains, per-user spam score thresholds, quarantine review, black and whitelists, temporary spam aliases, mailbox quotas, and TLS enforcement policies for both inbound and outbound messages. Security features include two-factor authentication via TOTP, WebAuthn, and Yubikey OTP, a Fail2ban-like Netfilter integration for brute-force protection, and automatic SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration. The ACME container handles Let's Encrypt certificate generation with DNS-01 challenge support, while Postfix TLS-Pol provides MTA-STS and DANE/TLSA resolution for encrypted transport. Built-in imapsync enables periodic migration from remote mailboxes, and the REST API allows programmatic management of all server resources. MariaDB stores user data, Redis caches configuration and sessions, and Unbound provides local DNSSEC-validating DNS resolution.

With over 24,000 GitHub stars and a rapidly growing community of self-hosters, authentik delivers enterprise-grade identity management that replaces commercial solutions like Okta and Auth0 with a fully self-hosted platform requiring no per-user licensing fees. The platform serves as a unified identity provider supporting SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, LDAP for legacy application compatibility, SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning, and RADIUS for network device authentication. The visual flow designer enables administrators to create custom authentication workflows combining password verification, multi-factor authentication with TOTP, WebAuthn, and SMS codes, email verification, captcha challenges, and conditional logic based on user attributes or device context. The forward-auth and reverse proxy integration works seamlessly with Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, and Envoy to protect applications that lack built-in authentication. User enrollment flows support self-registration with configurable approval workflows, invitation links, and automatic group assignment. The LDAP outpost exposes user and group data to legacy applications requiring LDAP bind authentication, while the SCIM provider automates user lifecycle management with downstream applications. Multi-tenancy support through brands allows a single authentik instance to serve multiple organizations with independent domains, branding, and authentication policies. The admin interface provides comprehensive user management, group hierarchy, application catalog, event logging with GeoIP enrichment, and system health monitoring. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Licensed under a source-available license with an open-source community edition.

With 13,800+ GitHub stars and active releases through 2026, Casdoor is the open-source identity platform that ships OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML 2.0, CAS, LDAP, SCIM 2.0, WebAuthn passkeys, TOTP multi-factor authentication, and Face ID biometric login in a single Go binary with a React web console — covering every authentication protocol your organization will ever need. Social login connects 50+ identity providers including Google, GitHub, Microsoft Azure AD, Facebook, WeChat, DingTalk, Apple, Twitter, and LinkedIn without custom code.

Powering authentication for over 15,000 GitHub stargazers and production deployments across startups and enterprises alike, SuperTokens delivers the complete login infrastructure that Auth0, Firebase Auth, and AWS Cognito charge premium prices for — entirely open source under Apache 2.0 with no per-user limits. The Java-based core service runs as a lightweight HTTP microservice that connects to PostgreSQL or MySQL and handles email-password login, passwordless magic links and OTP via email or SMS, social OAuth with Google, GitHub, Facebook, Apple, and any custom OIDC provider, phone-password authentication, and time-based one-time password multi-factor authentication. Session management uses rotating refresh tokens with anti-CSRF and anti-session-fixation protections, verifying tokens locally in your backend SDK without network round-trips to the core. Frontend SDKs for React, React Native, Angular, Vue, and vanilla JavaScript provide pre-built UI components for login, signup, email verification, and password reset flows, all customizable through an override system that lets you add pre- and post-API logic, custom hooks, and user event handlers. The built-in user management dashboard enables administrators to view users, reset passwords, revoke sessions, modify roles, and manage email verification status. Multi-tenancy and organization support powers B2B SaaS applications with tenant-level authentication configuration and Enterprise SSO via SAML and OIDC. Migration tools support bulk importing millions of existing password hashes, TOTP secrets, and role mappings. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Authentication that lives inside your application rather than behind a redirect to an external identity provider - SuperTokens takes a fundamentally different architecture from Auth0 and AWS Cognito. Three tiers make that work - frontend SDKs (React, Angular, Vue, vanilla JS, React Native) render overridable login UI and manage tokens; backend SDKs (Node.js, Python, Go) expose auth endpoints on your own API domain; and SuperTokens Core, the piece you host here, is the stateless HTTP service handling core auth logic, password hashing, token signing, and database operations against PostgreSQL. The recipe system keeps features decoupled: use email/password, social login, passwordless (magic links, OTP), phone-password, multi-factor authentication (TOTP, WebAuthn), user roles, and microservice auth - individually or combined; you can even use SuperTokens purely for session management alongside another login provider. Sessions are where it shines: rotating refresh tokens with theft detection, automatic access-token refresh, CSRF protection, and secure cookie handling out of the box - the details that become vulnerabilities when hand-rolled. Verification happens locally in your backend via cached JWT signing keys, so the Core stays off the hot path. Self-hosted means no user limits, free forever, with all user data in your database. Apache-licensed.

Encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on storage you already have - Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, Azure, OneDrive, Dropbox, MEGA, Storj, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, or a plain local disk - is what the MIT-licensed Duplicati has quietly done for years. Its security model is Trust No One: every block is encrypted with AES-256 (or a local GPG instance) before leaving the machine, and the passphrase never travels, so the storage provider holds only ciphertext. The block-based storage engine gives the best of both backup worlds: after one initial full backup, only changed data blocks upload - modify a tiny part of a huge file and only that part transfers - yet every backup version restores like a full backup in a single operation, with no incremental chains to replay. Deduplication and compression keep remote storage growth slow even across years of versions. A web interface manages everything: the built-in scheduler keeps backups current automatically, flexible filters select folders, file types, or custom patterns, retention policies prune old versions, and an integrated updater flags new releases. On compatible object-lock backends, immutable (WORM) storage protects backup data from ransomware that reaches the credentials. Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, free even for commercial use.

With 13,800 GitHub stars, adoption by OpenAI for ChatGPT's authentication infrastructure serving 800 million weekly active users, and governance under the Ory open-source ecosystem, Ory Kratos provides enterprise-grade identity management as a headless API server that separates authentication logic from user interface — enabling any frontend framework to consume standardized self-service flows for registration, login, recovery, verification, and profile management. Multi-factor authentication supports passkeys, WebAuthn security keys, TOTP authenticator apps, SMS one-time codes, email magic links, and backup recovery codes with configurable Authenticator Assurance Levels enforcing step-up authentication for sensitive operations. Social sign-in connects to any OpenID Connect provider including Google, GitHub, Apple, and Microsoft, plus enterprise SAML 2.0 federation for B2B single sign-on. Customizable identity schemas using JSON Schema define user profiles with flexible trait structures, while pre- and post-flow webhooks enable integration with CRMs, analytics, and compliance systems. The courier system handles email and SMS delivery for verification codes and password recovery links. Session management provides device tracking, forced logout, and configurable lifespans with privileged session elevation. Deploy alongside Ory Hydra for OAuth2/OIDC token issuance and Ory Keto for fine-grained permissions to build a complete identity platform. Docker Compose deployment with PostgreSQL.

The CAPTCHA bargain - annoy your users and feed their behavior to Google - gets replaced with economics by mCaptcha. Instead of image puzzles, it uses SHA256 proof-of-work: every visitor's browser silently solves a small computational challenge (via a WebAssembly library) before submitting a form. Humans never notice the milliseconds; bots hammering your site must burn more compute sending requests than your server spends answering them, which makes attacks more expensive than defense - the property that also makes mCaptcha genuine DoS protection, not just bot filtering. Written in Rust, the system is fully automated: difficulty scales with traffic, so challenges stay trivial in normal conditions and harden under attack. The privacy and accessibility wins are structural rather than promised: no tracking, no profiling, no user-pattern data collection, and no visual puzzles that exclude users with visual or cognitive impairments - the design was published in Communications of the ACM. Rate limiting is IP-independent, so users behind NATs, VPNs, or Tor get the same experience instead of endless challenge loops, and proofs resist replay attacks, neutering captcha farms. Migration is deliberately easy: the API is compatible with reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha, making it a drop-in replacement. AGPL-licensed core with proprietary-friendly client libraries.

The fastest tool on the public Martian Code Review Bench at 77 seconds per PR with competitive F1 scores — while every higher-scoring competitor takes 5 to 14 times longer — Mira is the fully open-source AI code reviewer that ships the entire feature surface other tools gate behind per-seat subscriptions: indexed PR reviews with full-repo context, streaming walkthroughs posted within seconds, inline vulnerability scanning from hourly OSV.dev polls, org-wide package inventory answering "which repos use [email protected]?" in one query, interactive dependency graphs with blast-radius SVG rendering via ReactFlow, a learning loop that synthesizes rules from rejected comments and human review patterns on merged PRs, and cost telemetry showing actual spend per repo and per model. Unlike CodeRabbit, Greptile, and GitHub Copilot code review which are SaaS-only with per-seat pricing, Mira runs as a single Docker image on your infrastructure with your LLM key through OpenRouter (fronting Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek) or direct to Ollama and vLLM for fully air-gapped deployments. The engine indexes Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C/C++, C#, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, and PHP with per-file symbol extraction, enabling multi-file reasoning across diffs rather than isolated line-by-line review. Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo via webhook with full feature parity. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

With over 34,000 GitHub stars and backing from a well-funded engineering team, Tailscale has fundamentally simplified how developers and system administrators think about secure networking. The client daemon establishes WireGuard tunnels directly between devices using sophisticated NAT traversal techniques, achieving direct peer-to-peer connections in the vast majority of network configurations without requiring port forwarding, firewall rules, or VPN concentrators. When direct connections prove impossible due to restrictive network environments, DERP relay servers provide encrypted fallback paths. MagicDNS assigns human-readable hostnames to every device on the network, eliminating the need to remember IP addresses across a tailnet. Subnet routing allows nodes to advertise access to entire local networks, enabling remote access to office resources, home labs, or cloud VPCs through a single gateway node. Exit node functionality routes all internet traffic through a designated device for privacy protection or geographic flexibility. Access control lists define granular policies for which devices and users can communicate with which services, enforced cryptographically at the network layer. The authentication layer integrates with identity providers including Google, Microsoft, GitHub, Apple, and OIDC-compliant systems for single sign-on access. Taildrop enables direct encrypted file transfers between devices without cloud intermediaries. The tailscale CLI provides complete network management from the terminal including status monitoring, route advertisement, and node configuration. Running Tailscale on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console provides a permanent, always-on node in your mesh network.

Starred by over 6,500 users on GitHub and trusted by organizations including Toyota, CTFd has been the leading open-source platform for hosting cybersecurity competitions since 2015, providing everything needed to run professional Capture The Flag events through a clean web-based administration panel without touching a database query. The framework supports both individual and team-based competitions with automatic tie resolution, configurable score freezing, and scoregraphs comparing the top teams with detailed progress tracking. Challenge creation offers static and regex-based flags, dynamic scoring that adjusts point values based on solve count, unlockable hints purchasable with points, file attachments uploaded to local storage or Amazon S3-compatible backends, and challenge attempt limits with automatic bruteforce protection. Version 3.8 introduced challenge logic fields controlling flag submission behavior with any, all, and team modes, integrated dynamic scoring into the standard challenge type, participant ratings and reviews on challenges, and admin-stored challenge solutions viewable after competition. The Markdown-based content management system enables custom pages for rules, FAQs, and resources, while SMTP and Mailgun integration handles email confirmation and password recovery. The plugin architecture supports custom challenge types, flag validators, and scoring algorithms, while the theme system provides complete visual customization. Import and export functionality preserves entire competition configurations for archival and reuse across events. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

With over 14,000 GitHub stars and a growing global network of security deployments, CrowdSec turns every attack on any participating server into protection for the entire community. The security engine operates as a combined IDS/IPS and WAF, analyzing log sources from Nginx, Apache, SSH, WordPress, and over 50 other services to detect brute force attacks, port scans, web vulnerability exploitation, and credential stuffing in real time. When one server detects a new threat, the attacker's IP is shared through the community blocklist, proactively protecting thousands of other installations before the attacker can reach them. The built-in WAF powered by Coraza v3 inspects HTTP requests at the application layer, validates against OpenAPI schemas, and applies custom rules with flexible AND/OR condition mixing for precise threat detection. Bot detection serves challenge pages with client fingerprinting to distinguish legitimate traffic from automated scrapers and scanners. Remediation components block malicious IPs at multiple infrastructure layers including iptables, nftables, Nginx, HAProxy, Cloudflare, and AWS Security Groups through the detect-here-remedy-there architecture. The scenario-based detection system ships with default rules for common attack patterns and supports custom scenarios written in YAML with an expressive filter language. A centralized console provides real-time visualization of alerts, threat intelligence analysis, and management of multiple distributed security engines. GDPR compliant by design, all log analysis happens locally and raw logs never leave your infrastructure. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

The first container registry to reach CNCF graduated status with over 29,000 GitHub stars since VMware open-sourced it in 2016, Harbor transforms the basic Docker Distribution into a hardened enterprise registry with vulnerability scanning, supply chain signing, multi-datacenter replication, and project-level access control out of the box. Trivy scans every pushed image against the NVD, GitHub Advisory Database, and distribution-specific vulnerability feeds, with scan-on-push policies that block deployment of images exceeding configurable severity thresholds. Artifact signing through Cosign keyless signatures and Notation enforces content trust policies ensuring only cryptographically verified images reach production clusters. Policy-based replication synchronizes images and Helm charts between Harbor instances across multiple datacenters using repository, tag, and label filters with automatic retry and bandwidth throttling — enabling hybrid-cloud and disaster-recovery topologies. The RBAC model isolates projects with per-project quotas, robot accounts for CI/CD automation, webhook notifications, and audit logging that tracks every pull, push, delete, and configuration change. LDAP, Active Directory, and OIDC authentication integrate with existing identity providers, while the proxy cache transparently caches images from Docker Hub, Quay, and other upstream registries to reduce pull latency and rate-limit exposure. The RESTful API with embedded Swagger UI, tag retention policies, garbage collection scheduling, and immutable artifact rules complete the lifecycle management. Deploy via Docker Compose or Helm Chart on Kubernetes. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

2FAuth generates TOTP, HOTP, and Steam Guard codes from any web browser, freeing your two-factor authentication from dependence on a single smartphone or app. Lose your phone, switch devices, or sit at a desktop computer, and your 2FA codes remain accessible through the web interface. The Laravel and Vue.js application stores account secrets in an encrypted SQLite database that backs up as a single file. Adding accounts works through camera-based QR scanning or manual secret key entry for services that only provide text codes. Group organization with drag-and-drop sorting keeps large collections navigable, categorized however you prefer. WebAuthn authentication with FIDO2 hardware keys protects vault access with phishing-resistant passwordless login, meaning the tool that secures your accounts is itself secured by the strongest available method. Automatic screen lock triggers after configurable idle time, and OTP obfuscation dots out generated codes until you tap to reveal them, preventing shoulder surfing in shared spaces. The REST API enables browser extensions and external applications to request codes programmatically. Import compatibility with Google Authenticator, Aegis, and 2FAS ensures painless migration without re-enrolling every account from scratch. PWA installation places 2FAuth on your device home screen for native-app-like instant access. Runs on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with guaranteed resources and full root SSH access. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Websurfx aggregates results from multiple search engines into one private, ad-free interface that never tracks your queries. Written in Rust, the backend provides memory safety against buffer overflows and data races at the language level while handling concurrent requests across upstream providers like DuckDuckGo and Searx. A built-in re-ranking algorithm scores and merges results by relevance, producing a unified page that draws from many sources while appearing as one coherent search. Safe-search filtering operates across four levels from unrestricted to complete content blocking, with regex-based filter lists for parental controls in schools and organizations. Upstream requests route through configurable proxy chains or Tor, preventing search providers from correlating your queries with a specific IP address. Four Docker image variants target different caching strategies: hybrid Redis plus in-memory for maximum throughput, Redis-only, in-memory-only, or zero-persistence for environments where cached queries must never touch disk. The Lua configuration file controls engine selection, request timeouts, rate limiting thresholds, and production-mode delays that throttle upstream traffic to prevent abuse. Quick-result widgets handle calculations, currency conversions, and unit transformations inline without external redirects. Image search capabilities serve visual discovery for designers and researchers who need media results without surveillance. Runs on a RepoCloud VPS with dedicated resources and full root access. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Merge, split, compress, convert, edit, annotate, redact, OCR, and sign PDFs - BentoPDF packs over 130 tools into a privacy-first toolkit that runs entirely in the browser through WebAssembly. Files are never uploaded - processing happens in browser memory on the user's machine and disappears when the tab closes, which makes the tool GDPR-clean by architecture and safe for financial, legal, and internal documents. The engine combines WASM builds of PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, and CoherentPDF; Tesseract handles OCR with searchable text-layer output; Office conversions cover Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and digital signatures use X.509 certificates (PFX/PEM) with the private key staying on the client. Because there is no server-side processing, deployment is a static-file exercise: a single Docker container, or any static host. A dedicated self-hosted build strips the marketing pages while keeping every tool, and air-gapped deployments are first-class - an automated script bundles the WASM modules, OCR language data, and fonts for fully offline networks. No accounts, no limits, no watermarks; TypeScript and Vite under the hood.

Enter a URL and get a dashboard of everything publicly discoverable about its security posture, server architecture, and technology stack: Web-Check is an all-in-one OSINT tool for analyzing any website. One scan surfaces IP info and server location, the full SSL certificate chain with issuing authority and validity, DNS records (A, MX, NS, CNAME, TXT) with DNSSEC status, HTTP response headers interpreted for security directives like HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options, cookies and their flags, WHOIS domain info, robots.txt crawl rules, a sitemap-derived page map, the redirect ledger, open ports, traceroute, detected technologies, third-party trackers, associated hostnames, site performance, and even carbon footprint. Each card explains what the data means and why it matters, which makes the tool double as a security education resource - junior engineers learn headers and attack surfaces by scanning real sites. Practical uses span pre-deployment security audits (catch missing headers and misconfigurations before they ship), privacy compliance checks (identify trackers and cookie behavior for GDPR work), competitive tech-stack research, and network debugging via DNS and redirect inspection. Built by Lissy93 in TypeScript, it deploys as a single Docker container, and self-hosting keeps your reconnaissance targets and audit activity off third-party services.
