As of September 8th, the Pentagon requires every program to assess foreign influence, governance, and provenance across all of its third-party and open source software.
Hunted Labs has been building the case for this moment since it launched in the wake of XZ Utils – unmasking easyjson, exposing foreign influence in fast-glob, and allowing customers to vet and monitor their open source components before they become a liability.

We wrote an essay about how to date a prime. Veronica Daigle's advice? Make sure you have a prenup. 💍
