  1. cargo-crev

    A cryptographically verifiable code review system for the cargo (Rust) package manager.

    You're probably thinking of https://github.com/mozilla/cargo-vet or https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev

  3. cargo-vet

    supply-chain security for Rust

    You're probably thinking of https://github.com/mozilla/cargo-vet or https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev

  4. crates.io

    The Rust package registry

    If we as a community wanted to improve this (which I don't think we do), we can start with increased awareness of dependencies. On crates.io, you can only see the number of dependencies on the third tab of a crate's description. How about we list the number of direct and total dependencies on the metadata sidebar?

  5. cargo-supply-chain

    Gather author, contributor and publisher data on crates in your dependency graph.

    Shameless plug: https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-supply-chain shows the supply chain attack surface for your Rust project.

  6. advisory-db

    Security advisory database for Rust crates published through crates.io

    cargo-audit only checks for known issues reported to a vulnerability database.

  7. rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

    Also Rust should get a way to embed dependencies versions directly in your binary (basically the content of your Cargo.lock).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
