- Add headers, badges, learn module pointers, just command runner tips, and AGPLv3 licenses etc. etc.
- Add missing Justfiles in some projects
- Update pre commit hook and add TODO
Replaced security considerations with an overview of the API Rate Limiter project, detailing its features, algorithms, and importance in preventing attacks.
- Add learn/ folder as required for all new projects
- Add detailed section 4 explaining learn/ folder structure
- List all 5 required files with descriptions
- Add quality standards for educational documentation
- Update PR template with learn/ folder checklist
- Include verification steps using template files
- Increase time estimates for intermediate (2-4d, 3-5d) and advanced (1w, 1-2w, 2-3w, 3-4w) projects
This ensures all future projects have consistent, high quality
educational documentation that teaches security concepts.
- Add comprehensive 5-file template structure
- 00-OVERVIEW.md: Project intro, quick start, prerequisites
- 01-CONCEPTS.md: Security concepts with real world examples
- 02-ARCHITECTURE.md: System design and technical decisions
- 03-IMPLEMENTATION.md: Code walkthrough with actual examples
- 04-CHALLENGES.md: Extension ideas from easy to expert
- README.md: Template usage guide and writing guidelines
- CHECKLIST.md: Quick reference for filling templates
Writing guidelines emphasize:
- Human voice (avoiding AI patterns like em dashes, contrast flips)
- Concrete examples over abstractions
- Real code references with file:line numbers
- Real world incidents and vulnerabilities
- Practical, actionable content
- Converted all 60 projects to compact table format with inline badges
- Added time estimate badges, tech stack badges, and difficulty indicators
- Added "What You'll Learn" sections with key concepts
- Updated completed projects to show "Source Code | Docs" links
- Diversified programming languages across all difficulty levels:
- Beginner: Added C++, Go, and Bash projects
- Intermediate: Added Go and Rust projects
- Advanced: Added Go, Rust, and C++ projects
- Maintained existing tech stack badges (Docker, AWS, Azure, CUDA, etc.)
