Ask HN: Open source security projects seeking for contribution

3 pointsby maemre11 yıl önce1 comments

I am looking for open source projects with focus on security to contribute to. I am no security person but I wanted to learn about security and from times to times I want to give back some of what I took from open source community. I would prefer to contribute to security because it seems to be one of major and most problematic parts of software world. I also like to start with simple bite-size bugs/issues/features.

tl;dr Are there any open source security projects with bite-size issues to fix?

I couldn't find any USD donation button, which is quite strange. They also don't have a donate button on their site. You can donate here, though, and to a few other projects, too:

There's also these guys here - but I couldn't find any donate button. Jesus, why are they making it so hard to give them money?

OTR - https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/donate.php

You could also donate EFF, which is funding some cool projects such as HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger and soon the free certificate authority https://letsencrypt.org/.
