The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.
