Can I rely on this github repository files?
I recently found this GitHub repo https://github.com/userEn1gm4/HLuna, but after cloned it I note that the comparison between the file compiled (using g++) from source HLuna.cxx and the binary included in the repo (HLuna) is different: differ: byte 25, line 1. Is the provided binary file secure? I've already analyzed that in VirusTotal without any issues, but I don't have the expertise to decompile and read the output, and I've previously executed the binary provided without thinking about the risks.

Compilation is not a directly verifiable deterministic process across compiler versions, library versions, operating systems, or a number of other different variables. The only way to verify is to perform a diff at the assembly level. There are lots of tools that can do this but you still need to put the manual work in.

Even that isn't going to be reliable across optimization levels.
