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.
bucket3 is a simple, blog aware, static site generator written in python. It reads your content and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server.
bucket3 would like to become a virtual “information bucket” where you throw pieces of information (texts, images, audio, etc), and presents them in a nice blog-like format.
pip install bucket3
mkdir myblog
cd myblog; bucket3 init
Edit .bucket3/conf.yaml
cd posts; bucket3 new hello-world-1
Edit the file generated, and add some text.
bucket3 update
You should now have your whole blog under "html" (as defined in your conf file).
Upload the files under html/ to your server.
