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.

CryptoLyzer: A comprehensive cryptographic settings analyzer
It is not just a theory. A special fork of OpenSSL, maintained by Pluralsight author Peter Mosmans, aims to have as many ciphers as possible. This fork is used and recommended by Mozilla Cipherscan, however, it can offer less than two hundred cipher suites, but there are more than three hundred in the different RFCs according to Cipher Suite Info. The majority of them are weak or insecure, which makes it particularly important to be part of the analysis. In addition, it is also true that there are cipher suites that are not on the Cipher Suite Info list, for instance, Russian standard (GOST) cipher suites. These are rarely used cipher suites, but there is an OpenSSL engine that implements them, so they should be checked.

Our Paper on Emotional Vocabulary and Diffusion Efficiency Was Accepted to CVPR 2026
This research was done at Elyan Labs — a small lab in Lake Charles, Louisiana built on pawn shop hardware. The same lab that mines crypto on PowerBook G4s, got code merged into OpenSSL, and preserves 16+ machines from e-waste.

John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists
How much do you think people would pay for this patch?
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/1320
If you had to pay for it seperately, would you include it in anything?
And yet, including it everywhere helps people with clients that can't be upgraded. Maybe less now, rsa_dhe is not deployed so much and hopefully windows 8 is also not deployed so much.
