# microsoft/litebox

> 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.

- Magnitude: 4.0 out of 10 — Breakout
- Stars: 3,114 total · +4 stars measured 2026-10-12, 11:44–13:26 UTC, ≈ 20 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 11:44–13:26: 3110 → 3114 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +20 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.8× 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.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 163
- Issues and pull requests: 1,563
- Watchers: 32
- Average over the last week: 62 per day
- Usual pace: 1 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 4
- Latest release: v0.1.0 (2026-10-07)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
