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. -

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. -

Go Backend Clean Architecture
A Go (Golang) Backend Clean Architecture project with Gin, MongoDB
This repository is a production-minded Go backend starter that applies Clean Architecture to keep business logic independent from frameworks, databases, and delivery mechanisms. It organizes code into layers—domain, use cases, interfaces/adapters—so swapping an HTTP framework or database does not ripple through core logic. The template includes well-chosen scaffolding for configuration, logging, dependency injection, error handling, and request validation so teams can focus on business features. It demonstrates practical patterns for repository interfaces, DTOs, and consistent response envelopes that keep APIs predictable. Testing is first-class: ports and adapters are designed for mocking and table-driven tests, which reduces friction when you add features. As a learning resource and a real starter, it helps teams jumpstart services with boundaries that age well. -

Ember Simple Auth
A library for implementing authentication/authorization in Ember.js
Ember Simple Auth is a lightweight library for implementing authentication/authorization with Ember.js applications. It has minimal requirements with respect to application structure, routes etc. With its pluggable strategies it can support all kinds of authentication and authorization mechanisms. it maintains a client-side session and synchronizes its state across multiple tabs/windows of the application. it authenticates the session against the application's own server, external providers like Facebook etc. The session service is the main interface to the library. It provides methods for authenticating and invalidating the session as well as for setting and reading session data. The session store persists the session state so that it survives a page reload. It also synchronizes the session state across multiple tabs or windows of the application so that e.g. a logout in one tab or window also results in a logout in all other tabs or windows of the application. -

Fail2Ban
Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
Fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) 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. -

Authelia
The Single Sign-On Multi-Factor portal for web apps
Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server and portal fulfilling the identity and access management (IAM) role of information security in providing multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for your applications via a web portal. It acts as a companion for common reverse proxies. With a compressed container size smaller than 20 megabytes and observed memory usage normally under 30 megabytes, it's one of the most lightweight solutions available. Written in Go and React, authorization policies and many other backend tasks are completed in mere milliseconds and login portal loading times of 100 milliseconds makes it one of the fastest solutions available. Processors can use a lot of electricity, but when idle usage is basically so low that you can't measure it, and active usage in a small business environment being under 1% you can rest easy (with the exclusion of password hashing). -

This project started out as a fork of the great OTP Authenticator app written by Bruno Bierbaumer, which has sadly been inactive since 2015. By now almost every aspect of the app has been changed/re-written so the fork status of the Github repository got detached upon user request. But all credit for the original version and for starting this project still goes to Bruno. -
