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. -

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). -

Fail2Ban
Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
Fail2Ban scans log files 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. -

PHP OAuth 2.0 Server
A spec compliant, secure by default
league/oauth2-server is a standards compliant implementation of an OAuth 2.0 authorization server written in PHP which makes working with OAuth 2.0 trivial. You can easily configure an OAuth 2.0 server to protect your API with access tokens, or allow clients to request new access tokens and refresh them. The latest version of this package supports PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3, PHP 7.4, PHP 8.0. The openssl and json extensions are also required. All HTTP messages passed to the server should be PSR-7 compliant. This ensures interoperability with other packages and frameworks. The library uses PHPUnit for unit tests. We use Github Actions, Scrutinizer, and StyleCI for continuous integration. In order to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, the authorization server MUST require the use of TLS with server authentication as defined by RFC2818 for any request sent to the authorization and token endpoints. The client MUST validate the authorization server’s TLS certificate as defined by RFC6125. -

jwt-auth
JSON web token authentication for Laravel and Lumen
jwt-auth provides a simple means of authentication within Laravel using JSON Web Tokens (spec). There are several ways to create a token within the package. There are simple ways to do it, and more advanced methods if you want greater control. The most common way to create a token would be to authenticate the user via their login credentials, and if successful return a token corresponding to that user. You can also skip user authentication and just pass in a User object. Once a user has logged in with their credentials, then the next step would be to make a subsequent request, with the token, to retrieve the users' details, so you can show them as being logged in. To make authenticated requests via http using the built in methods, you will need to set an authorization header. If you don't like the idea of catching mulitple exceptions inline, then you are free to add a global exception handler with Laravel. -

serve
Static file serving and directory listing
Assuming you would like to serve a static site, single page application or just a static file (no matter if on your device or on the local network), this package is just the right choice for you. Once it's time to push your site to production, we recommend using Vercel. In general, serve also provides a neat interface for listing the directory's contents. The quickest way to get started is to just run npx serve in your project's directory. If you prefer, you can also install the package globally using Yarn (you'll need at least Node.js LTS). The core of serve is serve-handler, which can be used as middleware in existing HTTP servers. In order to customize the default behaviour, you can also pass custom routing rules, provide your own methods for interacting with the file system and much more. -

uuid
Go package for UUIDs based on RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1: Authentication
The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services. This package is based on the github/pborman/uuid package. It differs from these earlier packages in that a UUID is a 16 byte array rather than a byte slice. One loss due to this change is the ability to represent an invalid UUID (vs a NIL UUID). Full go doc style documentation for the package can be viewed online without installing this package by using the GoDoc site. -
