## Historique du projet et usages

Legba is Simone Margaritelli's Rust credential-testing CLI for authorized security work: a multi-protocol bruteforcer, password sprayer, and enumerator built around Tokio concurrency.

### Historique du projet

The author presented Legba on 2023-11-02 as a project that began as Rust and Tokio practice and quickly became a replacement candidate for older credential attack tools such as THC-Hydra, Medusa, Patator, and related utilities. The official README and docs kept that framing: Rust, async execution, many protocol plugins, resumable sessions, rate controls, YAML recipes, a REST API, and an MCP server.

### Historique d'adoption

Legba's adoption trail is mostly security-tool packaging rather than mainstream application development. Official materials show precompiled releases, Docker distribution, Homebrew installation through the author's tap, and later broader package-manager exposure through Homebrew, Nix, Arch packaging, and similar channels.

### Modes d'utilisation

The CLI is used for authorized credential auditing across services such as SMB, SSH, HTTP forms, databases, LDAP, Kerberos, MQTT, and other supported plugins. The docs emphasize rate limiting, delays, jitter, session save/restore, recipes, and legal authorization, which are the practical controls that separate testing workflows from reckless brute forcing.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Legba is notable to package nerds as an example of security tooling moving from C and Python heritage into single-binary Rust distribution. The interesting packaging angle is not just speed; it is a no-native-dependency binary shipped through releases, Docker, cargo, and OS package managers while carrying a large protocol surface.

### Chronologie

- 2023-11-02: The author published the introductory Legba article.
- 2024-03-20: A Kali packaging request noted Arch package availability for Legba 0.8.0.
- 2025-08-22: The author noted static linking, precompiled binaries, and .deb assets in the Kali packaging thread.
- 2026-05-19: GitHub releases showed Legba 1.3.0.

### Related projects

- Related tools include THC-Hydra, Medusa, Ncrack, Patator, and protocol-specific credential auditing tools. Related distribution surfaces include Docker Hub, crates.io/lib.rs metadata, Homebrew taps, Arch packages, and security distributions such as Kali.
