At VulnCon 2025, NIST scrapped its NVD consortium plans, admitted it can't keep up with CVEs, and outlined automation efforts amid a mounting backlog.
Ruby utility for obfuscating strings, with no dependencies.
Example usage - obfuscating by length from the right:
StringObfuscator.obfuscate("Hello? It's me, Danilo", length: 6, from: :right)
=> "Hello? It's me, ******"
Example usage - obfuscating by percent, custom obfuscation character:
StringObfuscator.obfuscate("Hello? It's me, Danilo", percent: 50, obfuscation_character: "#")
=> "########### me, Danilo"
Example usage - custom obfuscation value:
StringObfuscator.obfuscate("Hello? It's me, Danilo", percent: 20, obfuscation_value: "[obfuscated]")
=> "[obfuscated]? It's me, Danilo"
Example usage - min obfuscated length:
StringObfuscator.obfuscate("Hello world", percent: 25, min_obfuscated_length: 8)
=> "********rld"
