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.
This is a single-threaded asynchronous WSGI server with WebSockets support
based on asyncore <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/asyncore.html>
_ module.
It should be compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.
Example:
.. code-block:: python
from from wsgiref.simple_server import demo_app
from asyncore_wsgi import AsyncWebSocketHandler, make_server
class SimpleEchoHandler(AsyncWebSocketHandler):
def handleMessage(self):
print('Received WebSocket message: {}'.format(self.data))
self.sendMessage(self.data)
def handleConnected(self):
print('WebSocket connected')
def handleClose(self):
print('WebSocket closed')
httpd = make_server('', 8000, demo_app, ws_handler_class=SimpleEchoHandler)
httpd.serve_forever()
The server in the preceding example serves a demo WSGI app from
the Standard Library and the echo WebSocket handler on '/ws'
path.
WebSocket part was borrowed from
this project <https://github.com/dpallot/simple-websocket-server>
