A simple file encryption library

LCrypt provides everything needed to implement a basic ssh client or server including symmetric ciphers, hashes, microtime, random strings, big integers, and zlib compression. An example RSA implementation is included.

LuaCrypto provides a Lua frontend to the OpenSSL cryptographic library.

MD5 offers basic cryptographic facilities for Lua 5.1: a hash (digest) function, a pair crypt/decrypt based on MD5 and CFB, and a pair crypt/decrypt based on DES with 56-bit keys.

A C FFI for Lua

The FFI library allows calling external C functions and using C data structures from pure Lua code.

Standalone FFI library for calling C functions from lua. Compatible with the LuaJIT FFI interface.

NLua is the bind between Lua world and the .NET world.

A epoll/kqueue based web server, inculded lua/coevent support (support Linux/MacOS/BSD platform).

Bamboo is the web framework of Lua based on Mongrel2, ZeroMQ and NoSQL database.

CGILua is a tool for creating dynamic Web pages and manipulating input data from Web forms.

Kepler is a community of software developers building open software to help make Lua a viable option for development of web applications.

A web framework for Lua and OpenResty written in MoonScript.

A (very) simple and lightweight web framework based on ngx-openresty.

Aroma is game creation framework/platform that targets Chrome's Native Client. It lets you create games that can be distributed through the Chrome Web Store.

A framework for making 2D DOS games in Lua. LoveDOS provides an API based on a subset of the LÖVE API.

This is Pac-Man from a parallel universe.

Scut is a free, open source, stable game server framework, which support C#/Python/Lua script, and support Unity3d, Cocos2dx, FlashAir client access.

A lightweight online game framework

Elegant Lua unit testing.

Copas is a dispatcher based on coroutines that can be used by TCP/IP servers.

This is a binding of libevent to Lua. It will serve as a drop-in replacement for copas, and eventually support more features (async DNS, HTTP, RPC...)

Fast, small, webkit based browser framework extensible by Lua.

LuaNode allows to write performant net servers or clients, using an asynchronous model of computing (the Reactor pattern). You might have seen this model implemented in event processing frameworks like Node.js, EventMachine or Twisted. In fact, LuaNode is heavily based on Node.js, because I wanted to be able to do what Node.js does, but using Lua instead of JavaScript.

LuaSec is a binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication.

LuaSocket is a Lua extension library that is composed by two parts: a C core that provides support for the TCP and UDP transport layers, and a set of Lua modules that add support for functionality commonly needed by applications that deal with the Internet.

Coxpcall encapsulates the protected calls with a coroutine based loop, so errors can be dealed without the usual pcall/xpcall issues with coroutines.

Penlight brings together a set of generally useful pure Lua modules, focussing on input data handling (such as reading configuration files), functional programming (such as map, reduce, placeholder expressions,etc), and OS path management. Much of the functionality is inspired by the Python standard libraries.
