Cybersecurity Open-Source Gems You Need Now 🛡️
Just discovered 4 game-changing open-source cybersecurity tools that deserve a spot in your security arsenal!
🔍 Hetty is making waves as a free alternative to Burp Suite Pro. As cybersecurity budgets tighten, this HTTP toolkit for security research offers professional-grade capabilities without the price tag. I’m impressed by how it’s democratizing access to quality security testing tools.
☁️ Looking at cloud security? Fix Inventory should be on your radar. This tool automatically detects compliance and security risks across cloud infrastructure accounts—essential as organizations continue migrating critical workloads to distributed environments.
For penetration testers and ethical hackers, Commix stands out by automating command injection vulnerability detection and exploitation. I’ve seen how much time this saves during security assessments compared to manual methods.
Perhaps most intriguing is NetBird, which combines peer-to-peer private networking with centralized access control. In an era of remote work and zero trust architectures, this configuration-free approach to secure networking addresses a real pain point.
“What I appreciate most about these tools is how they’re lowering barriers to implementing robust security—critical when talent and resources are stretched thin across most organizations.
What open-source security tools have you added to your toolkit recently? Any experiences with these four worth sharing?”
