PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
ImageResizer.Plugins.CloudFront
Advanced tools
Makes ImageResizer REST API accessible behind edge caching services like Amazon CloudFront. Adds support for a semicolon-based syntax, to bypass querystring-lopping. Example (standard): http://cf.server.com/image.jpg?width=100&height=100 Example (semicolon): http://cf.server.com/image.jpg;width=100;height=100 Provides (optional) automatic redirection of non-edge-cached image requests (helps scalability, but not performance). Docs: http://imageresizing.net/plugins/cloudfront Support: http://imageresizing.net/support Requires license, see http://imageresizing.net/plugins ## 30+ plugins available Search 'ImageResizer' on nuget.org, or visit imageresizing.net to see 40+ plugins. Some offer 4-30x performance improvements; some render PDFs and PSDs; others detect faces and trim whitespace. You'll find plugins for disk caching, memory caching, Microsoft SQL blob support, Amazon CloudFront, S3, Azure Blob Storage, MongoDB GridFS, automatic whitespace trimming, automatic white balance, octree 8-bit gif/png quantization and transparency dithering, animated gif resizing, watermark & text overlay support, content aware image resizing / seam carving (based on CAIR), grayscale, sepia, histogram, alpha, contrast, saturation, brightness, hue, Guassian blur, noise removal, and smart sharpen filters, psd editing & rendering, raw (CR2, NEF, DNG, etc.) file exposure, .webp (weppy) support, image batch processing & compression into .zip archives, red eye auto-correction, face detection, and secure (signed!) remote HTTP image processing. Most datastore plugins support the Virtual Path Provider system, and can be used for non-image files as well.
