OpenZeppelin Contracts
OpenZeppelin Contracts is a library for secure smart contracts
A library for secure smart contract development. Build on a solid foundation of community-vetted code. OpenZeppelin Contracts uses semantic versioning to communicate backward compatibility of its API and storage layout. To keep your system secure, you should always use the installed code as-is, and neither copy-paste it from online sources nor modify it yourself. The library is designed so that only the contracts and functions you use are deployed, so you don't need to worry about it needlessly increasing gas costs. Reduce the risk of vulnerabilities in your applications by using standard, tested, community-reviewed code. -

Awesome Privacy
A curated list of privacy & security-focused software and services
Awesome Privacy is a curated directory of privacy-respecting alternatives to mainstream apps and services, organized across many categories like browsers, search, email, messaging, cloud storage, and operating systems. It aims to help you choose tools that reduce tracking, fingerprinting, and data collection without sacrificing usability. Each entry highlights the project’s core properties—such as open source status, end-to-end encryption, and platform availability—so you can evaluate trade-offs quickly. Because product landscapes change fast, the list emphasizes ongoing maintenance and community discussion around quality and trust. It’s useful for privacy newcomers planning a gradual migration as well as experts building a hardened toolchain. The project also surfaces learning resources and practical guidance so you can understand the broader privacy landscape, not just pick tools in isolation. -

Personal Security Checklist
A compiled checklist of 300+ tips for protecting digital security
Personal Security Checklist is a comprehensive, plain-language checklist for improving personal digital security and privacy across devices, accounts, and everyday workflows. It’s organized so that complete beginners can make quick, high-impact changes, while advanced users can dig into deeper hardening steps. The guidance spans topics like passwords, 2FA, device encryption, browser hygiene, network safety, backups, and incident response planning. Each section breaks recommendations into actionable, bite-sized items with brief explanations, helping you understand the “why” as well as the “how.” The repository is continuously refined by a large community, which keeps the content practical, vendor-neutral, and up to date with evolving threats and best practices. It also encourages threat modeling, matching the steps you take to the risks you actually face, so you can prioritize effectively without getting overwhelmed. -

age
A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library)
age is a security-oriented tool and library by Filo Sottile. age is a simple, modern, secure encryption utility (and Go library) that emphasizes minimal configuration and strong defaults. It provides small explicit keys, no complex options, and is designed for UNIX-style composability; you can pipe into it, integrate it into scripts, etc. It supports a clearly defined format and promotes interoperability across implementations (there are Rust, TypeScript, etc). The project is well-suited for personal data encryption, backup use-cases, scripting encryption workflows, and embedding encryption in tools. Because of its design philosophy, it avoids the bloat of many older encryption utilities while maintaining strong cryptographic hygiene. It’s especially useful for developers or system administrators who want to adopt encryption without learning a multitude of options. -

jCasbin
An authorization library that supports access control models
An authorization library that supports access control models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC for Golang, Java, C/C++, Node.js, Javascript, PHP, Laravel, Python, .NET (C#), Delphi, Rust, Ruby, Swift (Objective-C), Lua (OpenResty), Dart (Flutter) and Elixir. In Casbin, an access control model is abstracted into a CONF file based on the PERM metamodel (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers). So switching or upgrading the authorization mechanism for a project is just as simple as modifying a configuration. Besides memory and file, Casbin policy can be stored into lots of places. Currently, dozens of databases are supported, from MySQL, Postgres, Oracle to MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, AWS S3. jCasbin is a powerful and efficient open-source access control library for Java projects. It provides support for enforcing authorization based on various access control models. -

Coraza
OWASP Coraza WAF is a golang modsecurity compatible firewall library
Coraza is an open-source, enterprise-grade, high-performance Web Application Firewall (WAF) ready to protect your beloved applications. It is written in Go, supports ModSecurity SecLang rulesets and is 100% compatible with the OWASP Core Rule Set. Coraza is a drop-in alternative to replace the soon-to-be abandoned Trustwave ModSecurity Engine and supports industry-standard SecLang rule sets. Coraza runs the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to protect your web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the OWASP Top Ten, with a minimum of false alerts. CRS protects from many common attack categories including: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), PHP & Java Code Injection, HTTPoxy, Shellshock, Scripting/Scanner/Bot Detection & Metadata & Error Leakages. Coraza is a library at its core, with many integrations to deploy on-premise Web Application Firewall instances. -

multiOTP open source
PHP strong authentication library, web interface & CLI, OATH certified
multiOTP is a PHP class, a powerful command line utility and a web interface developed by SysCo systèmes de communication sa in order to provide a completely free and easy operating system independent server side implementation for strong two factors authentication solution. multiOTP supports hardware and software tokens with different One-Time Password algorithms like OATH/HOTP, OATH/TOTP and mOTP (Mobile-OTP). QRcode generation is also embedded in order to support provisioning of Google Authenticator software tokens. SMS code sending is currently implemented for several providers (ASPSMS, Clickatell and IntelliSMS). The data storage of the command line utility is by default flat files based in order to simplify deployment in a few minutes, but MySQL backend is supported too. multiOTP can be easily integrated in RADIUS servers like FreeRADIUS under Linux/Windows or TekRADIUS LT under Windows. multiOTP is also the engine of the credential provider multiOTP Credential Provider. -

LibSecRm - Secure Removal Library
A library for secure deleting data on-the-fly
LibSecRm (LIBrary for SECure ReMoval) is a set of replacements for these standard C functions which cause data removing from files. The data is first securely wiped on-the-fly, to protect the user's privacy, then the original functions are called. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibSecRm is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibSecRm loaded. LibSecRm is also a development library. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. See the project homepage https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To wipe data that was left on the drive by using "normal" delete operations, you can take a look at WipeFreeSpace (https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io), which wipes the space used by files marked as deleted (and other things, too). -

LibHideIP - An IP-hiding library
A library for hiding the local IP address from applications.
LibHideIP is a library that on-the-fly (by preloading) prevents programs from knowing your IP address. This makes them unable to know and reveal your location, thus helping keep the user's privacy. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibHideIP is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibHideIP loaded. LibHideIP is also a development library. See the project homepage https://libhideip.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. -
