Function validate_interface_name

pub fn validate_interface_name(name: &str) -> Result<()>

Validates network interface names to prevent path traversal and injection

Security Considerations

• Prevents path traversal attacks (../../../etc/passwd)
• Blocks null bytes and control characters
• Limits length to prevent buffer overflow attacks
• Only allows safe characters commonly used in interface names

Examples

use netwatch_rs::validation::validate_interface_name;

assert!(validate_interface_name("eth0").is_ok());
assert!(validate_interface_name("wlan0").is_ok());
assert!(validate_interface_name("../etc/passwd").is_err());
