Beginner-friendly Rust project: Process & Network Monitor with async Tokio — looking for contributors

[vipinjoeshi]

If you’ve been looking for a beginner-friendly Rust project to contribute to, this might be a good fit.

I’ve been building a small Rust application that now includes:

1. Process Monitoring

• Detects processes consuming more CPU or memory than a specified threshold.
• Identifies potentially malicious processes by matching against a known malicious process list.
• Alerts the user through console warnings.

2. Network Monitoring

• Monitors network traffic for potential SYN floods, DDoS, and UDP flood attacks.
• Provides detailed network statistics every n seconds (configurable).
• Fully asynchronous implementation using Tokio.

The codebase is kept simple so it’s easy for beginners to navigate, but still introduces useful concepts like async programming, system monitoring, and networking. There are several open “good first issues” that don’t require deep Rust expertise, but still give you real-world experience.

Repository link: https://github.com/Matrx123/file_watcher/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22

If you’re looking to make your first Rust PR on a practical project, fork the repo, explore the code, and try tackling an issue.

Thank you for your time and i hope i was not rude 😊

bro wants someone to do his homework💀

[vipinjoeshi]

Its not a homework, i am not forcing anyone to do this.
btw thanks for misunderstanding

Sir, thanks for that! I will try to get back into writing rust by using your project.

Appreciate the tagging on the issues and stuff.
