Medulla

---

A lightweight, concurrent C++ networking library focused on security and flexibility.

Features

• Concurrency: Process-based scaling via fork().
• Security: Uses memory-aligned SecureBuffer with RAII-based secureWipe.
• Protocol: Reliable 4-byte length-prefixed messaging in Network Byte Order (ntohl/htonl).

Quick Start

1. Compile: g++ -std=c++17 src/main.cpp -I include -o server
2. Run: ./server &
3. Test: python3 scripts/Client.py

Project Context

This library was developed to unify requirements for Computer Security and Computer Networks coursework. By decoupling the Transport Layer (TCP socket management) from the Application Layer (Command Execution/Cryptography), the core "Iron" remains generic and reusable.
