    Great video, very interesting list of tools. One area you forgot Patch management. Not much I could find open source but chocolaty and poweshell winget package managers and making an update script on all the clients but I'd recommend PDQ Deploy with PDQ inventory we ended up paying for the pro version don't know anything else that works as good it's a steep learning curve but worth it in the long run as it's mostly automated now and had the report functionality as well.

    I was hoping to see crowdsec in there. I like the approach they took, having everyone contribute for zero day. I think all these projects could benefit from the “crowd-effect”. Harvesting user log submissions and distributing alerts.

    for those who do not know, calling it open-source do not automatically mean it is free. It just means source code can be viewed.

    Open source- “denoting software for which the original source code is made FREELY available and may be redistributed and modified.” Stop trying to redefine what is already defined. Open source is to REMOVE the pay wall not try to create a new one and say “it doesn’t mean it’s free.”

    @@Sasquatchbones knowing if it is free and what you can do with it is based on the license. For example RHEL is open source but you can't use it if you did not subscribe from their services. Educate yourself before trying to educate others. People like you are why companies are sued.

    Great Great job! What about verifying the libre code? Do you use a software analysis tool and Wireshark before committing and or updating one of these apps? "Norm" question, is it true, using a chromebook is best for most normies security wise vs Microsoft? And the best option for most windows users who cant afford a dedicated Linux is to use Fedora in a virtual machine in Windows? Fyi, its a bit odd how your voice is a bit hard to here despite your mic.. not being critical, you rock!
