Ymawky is a web server written entirely in ARM64 assembly for macOS, using only syscalls and supporting static file serving, HTTP methods, range requests, and basic security features like slowloris protection and path traversal prevention. Its interest lies in being a hand-crafted assembly implementation of a functional web server, demonstrating low-level systems programming on Apple Silicon.
