AI breakdown

Plain-English summary of what this package does and how it behaves.

The 'rand' package is a Rust crate (version 0.10.2) that provides random number generation and sampling utilities.

Capabilities

  • Generates random numbers via multiple RNG implementations
  • Samples from probability distributions (uniform, bernoulli, weighted, etc.)
  • Includes thread-local and small RNG variants

Data access

  • None observed

Network

  • No network access observed

Standard Rust library crate with no scripts, dependencies, or static findings; appears to be a benign utility for randomness with typical library behavior.

How ShadowCanopy checks crates.io packages

ShadowCanopy blocks every dependency by default and only lets through what it can verify — against live malicious-package advisories, an AI behavior scan, and a byte-for-byte hash check. It protects installs across npm, PyPI, crates.io, pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Maven Central, NuGet, Packagist, Hex, pub.dev, Swift Package Manager.
