About the project
A sandboxing library OS in Rust that minimizes the interface exposed to the host to reduce attack surface, with a nix-like "North" API on top of pluggable "South" platforms for kernel and user mode.
Useful for
- Sandbox a Linux application on Linux by running it against a minimal LiteBox platform
- Run unmodified Linux programs on Windows via the appropriate North-South pair
- Execute OP-TEE programs on Linux on top of LiteBox

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 11:44–12:34: 3110 → 3111 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +18 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.7× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #3, +54 stars.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 412. +5050% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
