Effective Linux Compliance
Pavois audits the configuration your services actually run, sshd -T, sysctl, systemctl show, not just the files on disk. It catches the Includes and drop-ins that file-based scanners miss, grades the result A:E, and remediates it as code.
Boot any package nixpkgs ever shipped, in this tab. Pick a package and a version from 13 years of nixpkgs history; its closure is fetched from cache.nixos.org into an x86_64 Linux virtual machine (QEMU compiled to WebAssembly) and you get a shell with the package on PATH.

A key remapping daemon for linux.
Linux lacks a good key remapping solution. In order to achieve satisfactory results a medley of tools need to be employed (e.g xcape, xmodmap) with the end result often being tethered to a specified environment (X11). keyd attempts to solve this problem by providing a flexible system wide daemon which remaps keys using kernel level input primitives (evdev, uinput).

Founded in 2015, this upstream Linux kernel project starts with the premise that kernel bugs have a very long lifetime, and that the kernel must be designed in ways to protect against these flaws. We must think of security beyond fixing bugs. As a community, we already find and fix individual bugs via static checkers (compiler flags, smatch, coccinelle, coverity, CodeQL) and dynamic checkers (kernel configs, syzkaller, KASan, trinity). Those efforts are important and on-going, but if we want to protect our billion Android phones, our cars, the International Space Station, and everything else running Linux, we must get proactive defensive technologies built into the upstream Linux kernel. We need the kernel to fail safely, instead of just running safely.
