Turtles, Clams, and Cyber Threat Actors: Shell Usage
The Socket Threat Research Team uncovers how threat actors weaponize shell techniques across npm, PyPI, and Go ecosystems to maintain persistence and exfiltrate data.
git.icyphox.sh/grayfriday
A fork of github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2 with a few changes. Notably:
• Em-dashes swallow spaces. For example: "Foo -- bar" becomes "Foo—bar"
This is more typographically accurate, while allowing for cleaner looking plaintext.
• En-dashes only between numbers. For example: "8-9 years" becomes "8ndash;9 years".
Again, this keeps the plaintext more natural (as opposed to writing "8 - 9" years
in blackfriday for an en-dash).
• Optional image width/height. For example:
{400x800}
This renders as:
<p><img src="http://example.com/bar.png" alt="foo style="width:400px; height:800px;" /></p>
