Project Description

As I do not work as a developer per se, I love developing new code and learning new technologies that arise in this world. The Rust language is defined as Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language. Rust emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.

Goal for this Hackweek

During this Hackweek 21 I'd like to learn this "new" language and maybe take some challenges from codewars.com in order to check my results.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      I'm doing the same, exploring the Rust language using also these other resources:

      Me too, following: - https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/index.html

      I'm using Eclipse as IDE (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/photon/rc3/eclipse-ide-rust-developers), it's not the latest version, but it works fine.

    Hack on isotest-ng - a rust port of isotovideo (os-autoinst aka testrunner of openQA) by szarate

    Description

    Some time ago, I managed to convince ByteOtter to hack something that resembles isotovideo but in Rust, not because I believe that Perl is dead, but more because there are certain limitations in the perl code (how it was written), and its always hard to add new functionalities when they are about implementing a new backend, or fixing bugs (Along with people complaining that Perl is dead, and that they don't like it)

    In reality, I wanted to see if this could be done, and ByteOtter proved that it could be, while doing an amazing job at hacking a vnc console, and helping me understand better what RuPerl needs to work.

    I plan to keep working on this for the next few years, and while I don't aim for feature completion or replacing isotovideo tih isotest-ng (name in progress), I do plan to be able to use it on a daily basis, using specialized tooling with interfaces, instead of reimplementing everything in the backend

    Todo

    • Add make targets for testability, e.g "spawn qemu and type"
    • Add image search matching algorithm
    • Add a Null test distribution provider
    • Add a Perl Test Distribution Provider
    • Fix unittests https://github.com/os-autoinst/isotest-ng/issues/5
    • Research OpenTofu how to add new hypervisors/baremetal to OpenTofu
    • Add an interface to openQA cli

    Goals

    • Implement at least one of the above, prepare proposals for GSoC
    • Boot a system via it's BMC

    Kanidm: A safe and modern IDM system by firstyear

    Kanidm is an IDM system written in Rust for modern systems authentication. The github repo has a detailed "getting started" on the readme.

    Kanidm Github

    In addition Kanidm has spawn a number of adjacent projects in the Rust ecosystem such as LDAP, Kerberos, Webauthn, and cryptography libraries.

    In this hack week, we'll be working on Quokca, a certificate authority that supports PKCS11/TPM storage of keys, issuance of PIV certificates, and ACME without the feature gatekeeping implemented by other CA's like smallstep.

    For anyone who wants to participate in Kanidm, we have documentation and developer guides which can help.

    I'm happy to help and share more, so please get in touch!


    Grapesss: a physical Shamir's Secret Sharing application [ESP32-C3 + Mobile] by ecandino

    drawing

    Description

    A couple of years ago I created StegoSecretS, a small cli used to encrypt and split a secret into multiple keys, using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm.

    The idea is to re-implement the project using physical devices. One device alone will be useless, but when close together they can be used to decrypt the secret.

    On a practical side the user encrypts the secret with a mobile application. The same application is used to split the secret, and load the partial keys into different micro-controllers. Another user will be able to decrypt the secret only having at least N devices close together (using the application).

    I'm planning to use a couple of ESP32-C3 I bought, and build a very simple Android mobile application.

    Goals

    • Learn about Rust and micro-controllers (ESP32-C3)
    • Learn about mobile applications (Android and Kotlin)

    Better diff'ing experience by MSirringhaus

    Description

    For diff-ing directories, I usually like to use meld, but it struggles a lot with large trees. Experiment with writing a TUI meld-clone for diffing directories and files

    Goals

    Get first prototype going of a TUI that can show

    • diffs of text-files
    • diffs of directories.

    Stretch goals

    • Themes
    • Filters (no whitespace, etc.)
    • Live config changes (Show/hide line numbers, etc.)
