Fiasco with compromised Python packages may extend to Rust ecosystem`

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

  • The person claimed that they could take over a crates.io package this way, but they didn't actually demonstrate this, so I'm not sure (in particular, if the API uses the GitHub repository ID instead of doing an owner-name-repo-name lookup, does this sort of squatting attack still work?).

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

  • There's work toward solving that. (RFC: make Cargo embed dependency versions in the compiled binary)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • cargo-auditable

    Make production Rust binaries auditable

  • I am working on a full-fledged implementation of this as a crate: https://github.com/Shnatsel/rust-audit
