I try to do something similar with Threat Intel / OSINT tooling at http://www.threat-intel.xyz . List gets regular updated and curated by hand.

Really wasn't expecting some much feedback on this list, just found it while looking for some SIEM solution and thought it was interesting. Your site looks way better though! Maybe the admins can change the URL?

A lot of these "awesome" lists are maybe reasonably OK on first-publish, but ultimately become useless due to: 1. Lack of curation (focus on including everything rather than being opinionated) 2. Lack of updates (tools get out of date fast, especially in long lists that try and include everything). However, THIS list is different. This list is BAD on first publish. Most of the categories are not even remotely securit…

Flagging seems a bit excessive. I have no affiliation with penetrum. Just thought the collection as a whole was interesting. Of course it's not a perfect list as it seems to be a one time post.

I wouldn't go as far as flagging typically for low-quality content. However labelling something as "open source" when it is in fact not "open source" goes further.
