Show HN: FIPSPad – a FIPS 140-3 and NIST SP 800-53 minimal Notepad app in Rust
- keepamovin 9mo agoThis app refuses to run unless it can prove your OS is providing a FIPS-approved cryptographic surface. Windows: It queries BCryptGetFipsAlgorithmMode. macOS: It strictly allowlists versions with valid Apple crypto certifications. The result is if the check fails, it quits. No bundled crypto fallback. No "continue anyway." It's a "deliberately boring" experiment to see what happens when you apply strict NIST SP 800-53 controls to a tiny, offline MVP. It is written in Rust. The source is available for inspection.
- wazzaps 9mo agoCan we get a human-written reason for why this exists? Since the project itself is quite obviously vibe coded...
- keepamovin 9mo agoDoes being able to detect vibe coding make you smarter than the AIs? I think it might. wow you are so smart!
