Contagious Interview Campaign Escalates With 67 Malicious npm Packages and New Malware Loader
North Korean threat actors deploy 67 malicious npm packages using the newly discovered XORIndex malware loader.
Tools for screening significant loop structures in a graph, typically a brain structure graph with physiological or anatomical edge data.
$ pip install brain-loop-search
Packing vertices:
import brain_loop_search as bls
vertices = [322, 329, 981, 337, 453, 8, 1070] # ccf brain id
# ccf ontology
ontology = bls.brain_utils.CCFv3Ontology()
vp = bls.packing.VertexPacker(vertices, ontology)
# filtering by level
vp.filter_by_level(fro=1, to=2)
Packing a graph:

Screen simple loops from the graph.

import pandas as pd
edges = pd.DataFrame({

"d": [-1, 2, 3, 1, 2],
"e": [-1, -1, -1, -1, -1]
}, index=["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"])
g = bls.search.ShortestPathLoopSearch()
g.add_subgraph(edges)
# search by single shortest path with a reverse edge
loops = g.pair_complement(axis_pool=['a', 'b', 'c'])
# search by chaining 3 of the shortest paths found
loops, sssp = g.chain_screen(n_axis=3)
Generate a new graph of potentially integrated loops.

import pandas as pd

g = bls.search.ShortestPathLoopSearch()
g.add_subgraph(edges)
# find a single max flow with a reverse edge (like a magnet field)
new_g = g.magnet_flow(s='b', t='a')
# find cycled max flows and merge them into a new graph
new_g = g.merged_cycle_flow(axes=['b', 'c', 'a'])
Visualize a single loop
import brain_loop_search as bls
# a loop is a list of list, with the head and tail of the sublist as axes
# here are some random picked brain regions
loop = [[950, 974, 417], [417, 993], [993, 234, 289, 950]]
