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.

Using FPGAs for CyberSecurity/Cryptography.
There are many applications to FPGA security. You could use Project X-Ray to reverse engineer and edit a bitstream. You could learn how to use encrypted bitstreams to prevent someone from reverse engineering and editing your own bitstream. You could perform a side channel attack on an FPGA.

NiteFury – An Artix-7 FPGA with its own DDR3 RAM right in your laptop (2019)
A bit of a nitpick - LiteX still needs Vivado installed for now for 7 series FPGAs. There's a project that's very far along in reverse engineering the Xilinx bitstream (https://github.com/f4pga/prjxray), but it's still missing many features (PCIe, SERDES, etc.).

Partial reconfiguration safety problems
this information is not difficult to extract. maybe make a donation to https://github.com/f4pga/prjxray or appeal to their vanity. they can probably write such a script in an hour or two.
