hyperfine
A command-line benchmarking tool
A command-line benchmarking tool. Statistical analysis across multiple runs. Support for arbitrary shell commands. Constant feedback about the benchmark progress and current estimates. Warmup runs can be executed before the actual benchmark. Cache-clearing commands can be set up before each timing run. Statistical outlier detection to detect interference from other programs and caching effects. Export results to various formats: CSV, JSON, Markdown, AsciiDoc. Parameterized benchmarks (e.g. vary the number of threads). Cross-platform. Hyperfine will automatically determine the number of runs to perform for each command. By default, it will perform at least 10 benchmarking runs and measure for at least 3 seconds. For programs that perform a lot of disk I/O, the benchmarking results can be heavily influenced by disk caches and whether they are cold or warm. If you want to run the benchmark on a warm cache, you can use the -w/--warmup option. -

moonwalk
Cover your tracks during Linux Exploitation by leaving zero traces
Cover your tracks during Linux Exploitation / Penetration Testing by leaving zero traces on system logs and filesystem timestamps. moonwalk is a 400 KB single-binary executable that can clear your traces while penetration testing a Unix machine.

rip2
A safe and ergonomic alternative to rm
rip is a rust-based rm with a focus on safety, ergonomics, and performance. It favors a simple interface and does not implement the xdg-trash spec or attempt to achieve the same goals. Deleted files get sent to the graveyard (typically /tmp/graveyard-$USER, see notes on changing this) under their absolute path, giving you a chance to recover them. No data is overwritten. If files that share the same path are deleted, they will be renamed as numbered backups. -

Nitro Enclaves Command Line Interface
Tooling for Nitro Enclave management
This repository contains a collection of tools and commands used for managing the lifecycle of enclaves. The Nitro CLI needs to be installed on the parent instance, and it can be used to start, manage, and terminate enclaves. The Nitro Enclaves kernel driver is available in the upstream Linux kernel starting with the v5.10 kernel for x86_64 and starting with the v5.16 kernel for arm64. The codebase from the 'drivers/virt/nitro_enclaves' directory in this GitHub repository is similar to the one merged into the upstream Linux kernel. The enclaves do not have access to a physical disk, just a RAM filesystem. One can configure the disk space by changing memory size or by using kernel command line arguments. -

GCSF
a FUSE file system based on Google Drive
GCSF is a virtual filesystem that allows users to mount their Google Drive account locally and interact with it as a regular disk partition. Update (April 2019): I am currently still using and maintaining this project but I have very little time to dedicate to it. As such, it might take a while before I get around to fixing known bugs / implementing feature requests / responding to open issues. Thank you for understanding and for expressing sustained interest in this project. GCSF requires the stable branch of the Rust programming language, which can be installed following the instructions on rustup.rs. If you already have Rust installed, make sure that it is updated to the latest version (≥1.26). Make sure you have pkg-config and the fuse library installed. These are usually found in the package repositories of major distributions. Rust can be installed via the lang/rust port. You will need to install sysutils/fusefs-libs for the cairo install command to succeed. -

KMON
Linux Kernel Manager and Activity Monitor
The kernel is the part of the operating system that facilitates interactions between hardware and software components. On most systems, it is loaded on startup after the bootloader and handles I/O requests as well as peripherals like keyboards, monitors, network adapters, and speakers. The Linux kernel is the open-source, monolithic, and, Unix-like operating system kernel that is used in the Linux distributions, various embedded systems such as routers, and as well as in all Android-based systems. Linus Torvalds conceived and created the Linux kernel in 1991 and it's still being developed by thousands of developers today. It's a prominent example of free and open-source software and it's used in other free software projects, notably the GNU operating system. Although the Linux-based operating systems dominate most of computing, it still carries some design flaws which were quite a bit of debate in the early days of Linux. -

Kerla
A new operating system kernel with Linux binary compatibility
Kerla is an experimental operating system kernel written in Rust with a Linux-compatible syscall interface. It aims to run Linux binaries in user space without relying on a traditional Linux kernel. Kerla combines the safety guarantees of Rust with a familiar POSIX-like programming model, making it a unique exploration into safe systems programming. Though early in development, it supports basic userspace execution and is a promising proof-of-concept for running Linux userland programs in a fully Rust-based kernel. -

Moss
Rust Linux-compatible kernel
Moss Kernel is an open-source operating system kernel project designed to explore modern OS design and provide a foundation for experimental system research and development. Rather than replicating traditional monolithic kernels exactly, it emphasizes modularity, safety, and simplicity by incorporating well-structured subsystems for memory management, scheduling, and device abstraction that are easy for contributors to understand and extend. The kernel uses Rust as its primary implementation language, which gives it strong memory safety guarantees and helps reduce common classes of bugs like data races and buffer overflows without sacrificing performance. It aims to serve as both a learning tool for systems programming students and a testbed for advanced research in kernel architecture, enabling experimentation with new ideas in process isolation, resource management, and driver models.
