About

Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the control server used by the Tailscale network, enabling users to keep full ownership of their private tailnets while using Tailscale clients. It supports registering users and nodes, issuing pre-authentication keys, advertising subnet-routes and exit-node capabilities, enforcing access-control lists, and integrating with OIDC/SAML identity providers for user authentication. The server is deployable via Debian/Ubuntu packages or standalone binaries, configurable through a YAML file, and managed via its CLI or REST API. Headscale tracks each node, route, and user in its database, supports route approval workflows, and enables features such as subnet routing, exit node designation, and node-to-node mesh within the tailnet. Being self-hosted, it gives organizations and hobbyists full control over their private network endpoints, encryption keys, and traffic flows, rather than depending on a commercial control plane.

About

HoneyWire is an open-source deception platform deploying canary tripwires across internal networks to detect lateral movement and intrusion activity. How it works: - TUI wizard instantly deploys lightweight, distroless "HoneyWires" onto any Linux host. - Synthetic services run silently with zero reason for legitimate users or scanners to interact with them. - If an attacker touches a HoneyWire, a high-fidelity alert routes directly to the centralized Hub. Deployment Types: - Web Router Decoy: Emulates admin router logins to trap web reconnaissance. - Canary TCP Tarpit: Binds to critical ports to log payloads and slow attacks. - File Canary (FIM): Monitors files to flag unauthorized access to decoy assets. - ICMP Canary: Detects stealthy ping sweeps and raw network mapping. - Network Scan Detector: Catches port scanning across local subnets. The Hub: A self-hosted, Web-UI control center managing node configurations, fleet, and alert routing, with frictionless UX.
