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.

Kerla: Monolithic kernel in Rust, aiming for Linux ABI compatibility
I just meant that even big projects posted here in the past like the Headcrab debugger: https://github.com/headcrab-rs/headcrab have been seemingly abandoned now.
Even Rocket https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket seems to have greatly slowed development unfortunately.

Attach VSCode's debugger to debug Rust inside an Electron app
I remember an attempt at rust native debugging in the form of headcrab
-
what is the status of the debugger?
There was an [ambitious project headcrab](https://github.com/headcrab-rs/headcrab/issues/132), which unfortunately looks abandoned [last commit 2020/11].

Implementing TCP in Rust
There is also the Rust TCP/IP stack https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp which is not mentioned as reference (and it's probably more useful to have a look there than querying ChatGPT).
- RFC2217 implementation written in Rust
-
Create TCP connection with Pnet
Trying to dig out a link for you, will edit when I find it; TCP and Layer 4 raw sockets do not play nicely together on many platforms. You’ll probably have to send at the datalink layer and/or use something like https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp

Introduction to TCP and Sockets
This seems close to what you're asking for: https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp
A small-ish tcp/ip stack, in rust.
- smoltcp is a standalone, event-driven TCP/IP stack that is designed for bare-metal, real-time systems. Its design goals are simplicity and robustness.

Rust embedded and networking
You can look into smoltcp

What are some low level networking libraries that y'all recommend?

Kerla: Monolithic kernel in Rust, aiming for Linux ABI compatibility
This here is a kernel including a memory-safe TCP/IP stack (https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp/), and not having it crash or be full of security vulnerabilities due to preventable memory corruption is a quality beyond personal language preferences.

Let's suppose for a minute that I've COMPLETELY lost my mind
Oh, and you also probably want to check out smoltcp, a userspace/"no operating system required" networking stack that we often use in embedded rust.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing headcrab and smoltcp you can also consider the following projects:
udbg - Cross-platform library for binary debugging and memory hacking written in Rust
tock - A secure embedded operating system for microcontrollers
kerla - A new operating system kernel with Linux binary compatibility written in Rust.
embassy - Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async.
xous-core - The Xous microkernel
