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.
Aider lets you pair program with LLMs to start a new project or build on your existing codebase.
Aider works best with Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek R1 & Chat V3, OpenAI o1, o3-mini & GPT-4o, but can connect to almost any LLM, including local models.
Aider makes a map of your entire codebase, which helps it work well in larger projects.
Aider works with most popular programming languages: python, javascript, rust, ruby, go, cpp, php, html, css, and dozens more.
Aider automatically commits changes with sensible commit messages. Use familiar git tools to easily diff, manage and undo AI changes.
Use aider from within your favorite IDE or editor. Ask for changes by adding comments to your code and aider will get to work.
Add images and web pages to the chat to provide visual context, screenshots, reference docs, etc.
Speak with aider about your code! Request new features, test cases or bug fixes using your voice and let aider implement the changes.
Automatically lint and test your code every time aider makes changes. Aider can fix problems detected by your linters and test suites.
Work with any LLM via its web chat interface. Aider streamlines copy/pasting code context and edits back and forth with a browser.
