kindly is a simple Rust implementation of a set-user-ID-root program, similar to sudo but in a much reduced way. (by vrmiguel)

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.

Is there any command-line application that you wish existed but doesn't (or isn't as good as you wished)?
kindly - a privilege escalation program (like sudo) for learning purposes
-
`kindly`: a simplistic (and hopefully educational) implementation of a set-user-ID-root program (think mini `sudo`) for Linux
I wanted to learn more on how authentication and privilege escalation works on Linux so I developed kindly

Announcing `compact_str` version 0.7! A small string optimization for Rust
I didn't use any inline asm, instead I wrote the simplest if statement possible, which I confirmed on x86_64, x86, and aarch64 compiles down to use the platform's supported conditional move instructions. If this changes in the future and there's a need to write inline asm, you can do so in a portable way, e.g. the cmov crate.

Shoot me straight.
There's also cpufeatures which might suit your use case better (depending on exactly how you want to do it).

Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
I have seen that RustCrypto also offers a create for securely zeroing memory with: zeroize

The zeroing routine itself looks fine to me. You might want to compare your code with the (already mentioned) zeroize crate, which does something similar (or maybe identical?).

Maybe found a Y2k bug in the rust-crypto DER-encoding util?
To save a few clicks, this was found to be, indeed, a Y2K issue, and der v0.4.1 has just been released to fix it. Citing the comment added to the issue after the fact:
-
Incredibly fast UTF-8 validation
I opened a tracking issue for that.

Now that the long-awaited const generics (MVP) have come to stable in 1.51, what crates are going to gain the most from it?
