# Gerevs: A Rust Crate for Secure SOCKS5 Proxies ([RFC 1928](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1928))
Welcome to **Gerevs**!
Gerevs is a work-in-progress Rust crate designed to simplify the creation of secure, general-purpose SOCKS5 proxies. Whether you’re building a networked application or enhancing security, Gerevs aims to provide the tools you need with minimal hassle.
## Features
- **Secure Connections**: Ensure robust security for your proxy communications.
- **General Purpose**: Flexible enough to suit a variety of use cases.
- **Rust Power**: Leverage Rust’s performance and safety features.
- **Asynchronous Execution**: Built using Tokio for high performance and efficient asynchronous operations.
## SOCKS5 Commands
- [x] CONNECT
- [x] BIND
- [x] UDP ASSOCIATE (The proxy still doesn't support fragmentation, but I doubt it will because after scouring the internet I couldn't find client side implementations that actually bothered to implement fragmentation)
## SOCKS5 Authentication
- [x] Username password ([RFC 1929](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1929))
- [ ] GSSAPI ([RFC 1961](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1961.html))
- [x] User defined (The library allows the user of the library to define authentication methods themselves)
Note: Gerevs is designed for server-side implementation only.
## What's in the Name?
The name **Gerevs** is derived from the Hebrew word "גרב" (gerev), which means "sock".
## Getting Started
To get started with Gerevs, add it to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
gerevs = "0.1.7"
```
Check out the [Gerevs documentation](https://docs.rs/gerevs) for detailed usage instructions and examples.
