    syzkaller
    syzkaller is an unsupervised coverage-guided kernel fuzzer. Supports FreeBSD, Fuchsia, gVisor, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows. Initially, syzkaller was developed with Linux kernel fuzzing in mind, but now it's being extended to support other OS kernels as well. Once syzkaller detects a kernel crash in one of the VMs, it will automatically start the process of reproducing this crash. By default, it will use 4 VMs to reproduce the crash and then minimize the program that caused it. This may stop the fuzzing, since all of the VMs might be busy reproducing detected crashes. The process of reproducing one crash may take from a few minutes up to an hour depending on whether the crash is easily reproducible or non-reproducible at all.

    Lguest

    Lguest

    Lguest

    Lguest allows you to run multiple copies of the same 32-bit kernel, simply modprobe lg, then run Documentation/lguest/lguest to create a new guest. I suggest you try this yourself, lguest is incredibly easy to get up and running. It's also quite useful: I can test-boot kernels with it in less than a second, or about 10x faster than basic qemu, and 100x faster than a real boot. And as it uses a pty as console, you can do things like pipe it through grep. lguest is all one big kernel patch, including the launcher. It's in 2.6.23-git13 and above. Lguest aims to isolate the guest so it cannot reach outside to the host (except for virtual devices supplied by the host of course), even if the guest is malicious. However, a malicious guest kernel can currently pin host memory (up to the amount of memory allowed to the guest). Most images are set up to create a console virtual consoles (/dev/tty0 etc), but the lguest console is /dev/hvc0.

    nono

    nono

    Always Further

    nono is an open source, kernel-enforced sandbox for AI coding agents and LLM workloads. Unlike policy-based guardrails that intercept and filter operations, nono uses OS security primitives — Landlock on Linux and Seatbelt on macOS — to make unauthorised operations structurally impossible at the syscall level. Wrap any AI agent — Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, or any CLI process — with a single command. nono applies default-deny filesystem access, blocks destructive commands (rm, dd, chmod, sudo), isolates credentials and API keys, and cascades all restrictions to child processes. No escape mechanism exists once restrictions are applied. Built-in profiles get you running in seconds. Secrets inject securely from the system keystore and are zeroised on exit. Audit logging, atomic rollbacks, and Sigstore-attested policy signing are on the roadmap. Apache 2.0. From the creator of Sigstore.

    Cilium

    Cilium is open-source software for providing, securing and observing network connectivity between container workloads, cloud native, and fueled by the revolutionary Kernel technology eBPF. Kubernetes doesn't come with an implementation of Load Balancing. This is usually left as an exercise for your cloud provider or in private cloud environments an exercise for your networking team. Cilium can attract this traffic with BGP and accelerate leveraging XDP and eBPF. Together these technologies provide a very robust and secure implementation of load balancing. Cilium and eBPF operate at the kernel layer. With this level of context, we can make intelligent decisions about how to connect different workloads whether on the same node or between clusters. With eBPF and XDP Cilium enables significant improvements in latency and performance and eliminates the need for Kube-proxy entirely.

    The world is lacking a decentralized graph of canonical knowledge that is open, free, and permissionless, and incentivizes agents to enter data into the graph. Our vision is to create a protocol that maps the 10 billion entities that exist and the public knowledge that surrounds them. Triples, also known as fact triples or SPO triples, are the elemental building blocks of facts that link entities together forming a graph. They are the atoms that build the universe of knowledge as we know it. The protocol supports a rich set of triples types, qualifiers, and associated evidence. The triple graph can be used to power Dapps and services that require fundamental knowledge. Each agent can submit triples to be validated, and, if accepted, will be rewarded tokens. Validators and predictions from the knowledge graph itself decide if triples are accepted. In essence, the protocol incentivizes the knowledge graph construction while defending against gaming attacks.

    SCIOPTA

    SCIOPTA

    The SCIOPTA architecture is specifically designed to provide excellent real-time performance and small size. Internal data structures, memory management, interprocess communication and time management are highly optimized. SCIOPTA is a pre-emptive real-time kernel. Interrupts can be serviced at any time, even inside the kernel. SCIOPTA is a message based real-time operating system. A powerful set of system calls is available to control the resources. Standardized processes and interprocess communication result in clear system designs and are easy to write, to read and to maintain. As processes are communicating with well defined messages and processes can be grouped into modules, SCIOPTA systems are very well suited for team work in big projects. The time-to-market will be reduced dramatically. SCIOPTA is designed on a message based architecture allowing direct message passing between processes. Messages are mainly used for interprocess communication and synchronization.

    Apple Hypervisor
    Build virtualization solutions on top of a lightweight hypervisor, without third-party kernel extensions. Hypervisor provides C APIs so you can interact with virtualization technologies in user space, without writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). As a result, the apps you create using this framework are suitable for distribution on the Mac App Store. Use this framework to create and control hardware-facilitated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your entitled, sandboxed, user-space process. Hypervisor abstracts virtual machines as processes, and virtual processors as threads. The Hypervisor framework requires hardware support to virtualize hardware resources. On Apple silicon, that includes the Virtualization Extensions. On Intel-based Mac computers, the framework supports machines with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode.

    RunInfra

    RunInfra

    RunInfra

    RunInfra turns plain English into production AI inference endpoints. Describe your use case, and the AI agent builds, optimizes, deploys, and scales it for you; no YAML, no DevOps, no GPU configuration, just chat. It is built for shipping open source AI models as production APIs, selecting compatible models, benchmarking real GPUs, applying kernel optimizations, and deploying OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoints. RunInfra can build LLM, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, embedding, vision-language, image-generation, RAG search, document AI, transcription, AI assistant, and multi-model reasoning pipelines when the selected model and runtime support the route. Its workflow moves from description to optimization to deployment to integration; tell RunInfra what you need, let it profile real GPUs from L4 to B200, search model variants such as AWQ, GPTQ, and FP8, tune kernels with Forge, and ship an endpoint that works with OpenAI Python and JavaScript SDKs.
    Starting Price: $100 per month

    Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection
    As Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) protects your endpoints against malware, the AEP application itself routinely comes under attack by malicious applications trying to circumvent its protection. Fortunately, Comodo AEP includes robust self-protection countermeasures that prevent malicious applications from gaining control or circumventing Comodo AEP services. AEP does this by intercepting system calls that might present a threat to the applications such as Terminate Process or Create Remote Thread are obvious examples of calls that might pose a risk to AEP. Other less obvious but actually more dangerous call would be CreateFile as it can do a lot more than just create a file. Comodo AEP intercepts these calls and only allows them to proceed if they won’t harm the Comodo process. Comodo AEP also contains a kernel mode driver that it uses to prevent attempts to modify the system kernel directly.
