First read
Promising movement, but the picture is still partial
evilsocket/opensnitch is active enough to inspect further, but the surrounding proof is thinner. Use the source repository and nearby comparisons to decide whether this is rising substance or just short-term visibility.
Visible
14K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Needs a narrower context read
Active
Last commit Jul 26, 2026.
Active enough
Adopted
Treat stars as discovery context until a linked package appears.
No linked package mapping
Confidence
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

Validation note
GitStar can summarize public signals for evilsocket/opensnitch, but the GitHub repository is still the primary place to confirm release cadence, issue activity, and maintainer intent.

🧭 Hype vs Reality
Insufficient Package DataGitStar can see repository momentum, but it does not have a reliable linked package signal yet.
Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.
Status

No linked npm or PyPI usage signal
Method note
This label appears when GitStar cannot find strong enough package telemetry to compare attention against adoption. Compare it against other Python repos before treating stars as a moat.

About This Page
This page provides a quick overview of evilsocket/opensnitch based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
