Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Any standard algorithms for parsing (disassembling) machine code?
Back in the day, I wrote this x86 emulator just for fun: https://github.com/ForceBru/PyVM, and to this day, my implementation of instruction parsing (disassembly) is bugging me because it's a mess and doesn't seem correct at all, even though it kind of works. However, after a couple of years of occasionally trying to find some kind of "proper" algorithm for machine code disassembly, I couldn't find anything... noteworthy, or well-known, or widely used.

30 Years of Decompilation and the Unsolved Structuring Problem: Part 1
That's awesome! That's exactly how modern decompilers deal with a special type of goto occurrence. They reduce gotos (or completely eliminate them) by introducing a `while(true)` loop, followed by corresponding `continue` and `breaks`... we all, of course, know that `while(true)` did not exist in the source, but it's a nice hack!
We even do this in the angr decompiler, found here: https://github.com/angr/angr/blob/8e48d001e18a913ecd4ed2e995...
- Ask not what the compiler can do for you

The Full Story of Large Language Models and RLHF
One would hope browser and OS vendors would use AI to remediate vulnerabilities but vast majority of software vendors won't ever use it.
Also, automated vulnerability finding is very much real and already used today. This isn't something that has just become viable via LLMs, but I guess LLMs can enhance it:

Any standard algorithms for parsing (disassembling) machine code?
BAP (https://github.com/binaryanalysisplatform/bap), angr (https://angr.io/) and others already do what you're asking for as more purpose-built solutions for dynamic analysis. Angr specifically in python.

Can anyone explain to me how to find main function in elf file?
As /u/hkei noted, it's actually quite difficult to do in general, and usually requires some kind of heuristic. For example, see https://github.com/dyninst/dyninst/blob/v12.1.0/dyninstAPI/src/image.C#L476. Full disclosure, I am a Dyninst developer. There is also the python-based angr that might be more amenable to a one-off solution.

We are Legitimate Business Syndicate, DEF CON CTF Organizers 2013-2017, Ask Us Anything
I think there's a lot of promise in automation that's been spun off from the CTF community. Angr and Binary Ninja are both very much spinoffs from contest hacking, and are pretty great for helping a skilled hacker find flaws in software.
