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.
gatilegrid is compatible with python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7
$ pip install gatilegrid
Several tile grids are supported, namely 21781, 2056, 3857 and 4326. Here is an exemple using 21781.
For 4326, an additional parameter is available (tmsCompatible=True
).
from gatilegrid import getTileGrid

zoom = 18
tileCol = 6
tileRow = 7
# Get and initialize the grid (top-left and bottom-left are availble)
gagrid = getTileGrid(21781)(originCorner='top-left')
# With extent constraint
offset = 100000
gagridExtent = GeoadminTileGrid(extent=[gagrid.MINX + offset, gagrid.MINY + offset,
gagrid.MAXX - offset, gagrid.MAXY - offset])
bounds = [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax] = gagrid.tileBounds(zoom, tileCol, tileRow)
print(bounds)
>>> [496800.0, 247600.0, 509600.0, 260400.0]

gagrid.getParentTiles(zoom, tileCol, tileRow, parentZoom)

# It also works if the point is within the tile
pointInTile = [topLeftCorner[0] + 200.0, topLeftCorner[1] - 200.0]
print(gagrid.tileAddress(zoom, pointInTile))

tilesSpecGenerator = gagrid.iterGrid(minZoom, maxZoom)
for i, t in enumerate(tilesSpecGenerator):

print(t)
if i == 1:

print(t)
if i = 1:

This module also provides a simple grid API for grid cells addressing.
