  WireGate is a fully automated Docker Based intranet deployment that allows users to host web other applications on their existing server and be able to securely connect to said web applications without exposing them to the open internet. This is done by utilizing the WireGuard protocol in conjunction with Docker Networks and Containers. Hence applications hosted behind the WireGate private network need not expose any ports and can only be accessed via a WireGuard connection already registered to to an existing server interface on the deployed WireGate instance.

• zxcvbn: realistic password strength estimation - Dropbox

  As an independent Dropbox hackweek project, I thought it’d be fun to build an open source estimator that catches common patterns, and as a corollary, doesn’t penalize sufficiently complex passphrases like correcthorsebatterystaple. It’s now live on dropbox.com/register and available for use on github.
