rugenere - Vigenère Cipher tool written in Rust
I had extra time, and really wanted to get into rust development, so i challenged myself to start a new project. One of my friends was in the exact same position and decided to do a simple Caesar’s cipher tool. He suggested that i do one for the Vigenère cipher since both of these ciphers are used in Over The Wire challenges. In fact Krypton has challenges that use both of these ciphers, you can check my walkthrough of Krypton here.
I added my project to crates.io so other people can have an easy deployment experience. The github page is also documented and as an extra challenge i deployed a TravisCI pipeline to check for build errors on each commit.
Overall i believe this project didn’t explore ALL of rust’s “special” concepts, even though it fulfilled my objective of getting into rust in a more committed way.
