Now, onto the latest: How Prossimo's Risk and Opportunity Criteria Help Us Plan Prossimo's primary goal is to move the Internet's most security-sensitive software infrastructure to memory safe code. Many of the most critical software vulnerabilities are memory safety issues in C and C++ code, and while there are ways to reduce the risk, including fuzzing and static analysis, memory safety vulnerabilities continue to plague the Internet. You can find the full blog post here https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/blog-initiative-criteria-/3614v/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk . An Update on Memory Safety in the Linux Kernel Rust for Linux https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/2025-03-06/3614y/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk is an effort to support the use of the Rust language in the Linux kernel. Memory safety errors account for a large portion of kernel vulnerabilities, but this can be reduced as more drivers are written in a memory safe language. In 2021, we started working with the project's primary maintainer, Miguel Ojeda https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/2025-03-06/36152i/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk , shortly after he published the original RFC https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/4604-23473-1-ojeda-kernel-org-/36155i/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk for Rust in the Linux kernel Read the full blog post here https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/blog-linux-kernel-2025-update-/36158i/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk . Curious what else Prossimo is focused on?​​​​​ Since 2020 Prossimo has focused on various initiatives across the spectrum of software important to the Internet's daily operation. If it's been a while since you've seen everything we're up to, take a look at the full list of Initiatives https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/2025-03-06/3615c/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk ! Beyond writing and rewriting software, we're actively engaged in the community of people working towards tackling the challenge of a lack of memory safety. You can find us IRL at the Cyber Civil Defense Summit happening June 11 in DC https://outreach.abetterinternet.org/e/1011011/vity-7297674163610075137-rR1M-/3615g/511139977/h/yBzr1LEgCIyTZsWQgkoQ0tw3QtyZfLxyZYVfqC7_MNk .
