Eight Open-Source Tools for Secrets, AI, Access Control, and Password Security
Summary
A roundup of eight open-source cybersecurity tools covering exposed-credential discovery, secure MCP hosting, AI-system scanning, Windows driver analysis, access control, password management, and AI-agent policy enforcement.
Key points
- Sift searches workplace sources including Microsoft 365, Slack, Jira, and file shares for passwords, API keys, and other sensitive data.
- ToolHive runs Model Context Protocol servers in containers and can be self-hosted.
- AI-Infra-Guard fingerprints AI services, checks for more than 1,600 known CVEs, inspects MCP servers and agent skills, and evaluates models for jailbreak risks.
- DeepZero automates analysis of Windows kernel drivers to identify potentially exploitable ones.
- Gopass stores credentials in an encrypted store and provides a command-line password manager for teams.
- Prismor checks AI-agent tool calls against policies and can allow, warn, or block them; Permify and Authorizer provide authorization and access-control functions.

StacklokMCP server is the connector that lets an AI client like Cursor or Claude Code reach an outside tool, and Stacklok ships ToolHive under Apache 2.0, so the runtime, the Kubernetes operator, and the registry cost nothingStratus SecurityStratus Security, a penetration testing consultancy, built it for its own engagements and released it for free.
