Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for March 18, 2021

• Handling brute force attacks in the kernel: a new security module that can detect — and respond to — some types of brute-force attacks.
• Creating an SSH honeypot: a FOSDEM session on creating and safely running an SSH honeypot.
• Unprivileged chroot(): the chroot() system call requires privilege, but this proposal may change that in some situations.
• Lockless patterns: an introduction to compare-and-swap: the lockless-patterns series continues with a look at compare-and-swap operations.
• Software platforms for open-source projects and foundations: two platforms for projects seeking help.

This week's edition also includes these inner pages:
