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.
Stixx is an up and coming two-player game where the objective of the game is to deplete your opponent of their sticks. Players start with a stick in each of their hands and add sticks to the opponent based on how many sticks they currently have. If either player gets exactly five sticks, they lose said hand.
Stixx is childhood game that many of us have played under different names or rules. The purpose of this project is to give back the nostalgia that this childhood game gave us. The current plan is to have a bare-bones UI of the game that works. There are also exciting plans in for future of this game.
You can install stixx via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install stixx
$ pip show stixx | grep "Location"
$ cd <location>
$ python game.py
