Another prolific year of open-source contributionsThis time last year, we wrote about the more than 190 Trail of Bits-authored pull requests that were merged into non-Trail of Bits repositories in 2021. In 2022, we continued that trend by having more than 400 pull requests merged into non-Trail of Bits repositories! Why is this significant? While we take […]
Celebrating our 2021 Open Source ContributionsAt Trail of Bits, we pride ourselves on making our best tools open source, such as algo, manticore, and graphtage.

The Foundation of 2015: 2014 in ReviewWe need to do more to protect ourselves. 2014 overflowed with front-page proof: Apple, Target, JPMorgan Chase, etc, etc. The current, vulnerable status quo begs for radical change, an influx of talented people, and substantially better tools.
