Security Newsroom Obsidian Plugin Release

I’ve been quiet for a while. Work has been busy & I have been doing some other projects that I can’t get into……

I’ve made the switch from my beloved eMacs to obsidian over the last few months and apart from the first week it’s been relatively painless. I’ve managed to recreate 99% of all eMacs functionality in obsidian (that’s functionality I used, not all of eMacs functionality as that would not be possible.)

One thing that I have found myself needing is an easy way to keep up with security related news. As the landscape is constantly evolving and growing and there a million different sources to get information from I got bored of jumping around so I thought “what if it was just in obsidian”. I use obsidian as my web-clipper anyone so let’s just put the functionality in here (I say here as I am writing the post in Obsidian)

So I decided to create the security newsroom plugin. https://github.com/bloodstiller/obsidian-security-newsroom

I’ve created a pull request for it to be placed into the official community plugins but so far it has not.

It essentially pulls from lots of security resources and allows you to filter, save & clip the whole articles directly within obsidian.

Full video showing how it works.

At the moment as it’s not currently approved in the obsidian store if you want to use it you will have to manually add a folder called in your .obsidian/plugins folder called security-newsroom and place the main.js, manifest.json & styles.css from the repo and then load the plugin.
