Keycloak
Identity and access management for modern applications and services
Add authentication to applications and secure services with minimum fuss. No need to deal with storing users or authenticating users. It's all available out of the box. You'll even get advanced features such as User Federation, Identity Brokering and Social Login. Keycloak is an open source Identity and Access Management solution aimed at modern applications and services. It makes it easy to secure applications and services with little to no code. Users authenticate with Keycloak rather than individual applications. This means that your applications don't have to deal with login forms, authenticating users, and storing users. Once logged-in to Keycloak, users don't have to login again to access a different application. This also applied to logout. Keycloak provides single-sign out, which means users only have to logout once to be logged-out of all applications that use Keycloak. -

Gobuster
Directory/File, DNS and VHost busting tool written in Go
Gobuster is a tool used to brute-force. This project is born out of the necessity to have something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW), something that did not do recursive brute force, something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once, something that compiled to native on multiple platforms, something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python), and something that didn't require a runtime. Provides several modes, like the classic directory brute-forcing mode, DNS subdomain brute-forcing mode, the mode that enumerates open S3 buckets and looks for existence and bucket listings, and the virtual host brute-forcing mode (not the same as DNS!). Since this tool is written in Go you need to install the Go language/compiler/etc. Full details of installation and set up can be found on the Go language website. Once installed you have two options. You need at least go 1.16.0 to compile gobuster. -

Fail2Ban
Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
Fail2Ban scans log files and bans IPs that show the malicious signs -- too many password failures, seeking for exploits, etc. Generally Fail2Ban is then used to update firewall rules to reject the IP addresses for a specified amount of time, although any arbitrary other action (e.g. sending an email) could also be configured. Out of the box Fail2Ban comes with filters for various services (apache, courier, ssh, etc). Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk that weak authentication presents. Configure services to use only two factor or public/private authentication mechanisms if you really want to protect services. -

JSS
An authoring tool for CSS which uses JavaScript as a host language
A lib for generating Style Sheets with JavaScript. JSS is an authoring tool for CSS which allows you to use JavaScript to describe styles in a declarative, conflict-free and reusable way. It can compile in the browser, server-side or at build time in Node. JSS is framework agnostic. It consists of multiple packages, the core, plugins, framework integrations and others. If you’re interested in playing around with JSS, you can use an online code playground. Try a Hello World example on CodeSandbox. JSS generates actual CSS, not Inline Styles. It supports every existing CSS feature. CSS rules are created once and reused across the elements using its class name in contrary to Inline Styles. Also, when DOM elements get updated, previously created CSS rules are applied. JSS generates unique class names by default. It allows avoiding the typical CSS problem, where everything is global by default. It completely removes the need for naming conventions. -

OpenAuth
Universal, standards-based auth provider
OpenAuth is an authentication system aimed at modern serverless and edge runtimes, providing a cohesive way to add sign-in flows and session management to web apps. It supports common patterns such as OAuth with popular identity providers, email-based links or codes, and passkeys/passwordless options, while exposing a simple API that fits full-stack frameworks. The project is designed to be infrastructure-friendly, aligning with managed stores and serverless platforms so sessions, webhooks, and callbacks work reliably at scale. It emphasizes secure defaults, including robust token handling, CSRF protections, and clear session lifecycles, while leaving room for customization where apps need it. Developers can bring their own database or storage layer and wire it through adapters without rewriting core logic. The goal is to remove boilerplate around sign-up/sign-in, user profiles, and authorization checks so teams can ship features faster. -
