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.
pylsd is the python bindings for LSD - Line Segment Detector.
This package uses distutils, which is the default way of installing python modules. To install in your home directory, securely run the following:
git clone https://github.com/primetang/pylsd.git
cd pylsd
python setup.py install
Or directly through pip
to install it:
pip install pylsd
We can use the package by using from pylsd.lsd import lsd
, and lines = lsd(src)
is the call format for the lsd
function, where src
is a Grayscale Image (H * W
numpy.array), and the return value lines
is the Detected Line Segment, lines
is an N * 5
numpy.array, each row represents a straight line, the 5-dimensional vector is:
[point1.x, point1.y, point2.x, point2.y, width]
According to these presentations, we can use it just like the following code (here is the link):
import cv2
import numpy as np
import os
from pylsd.lsd import lsd
fullName = 'car.jpg'
folder, imgName = os.path.split(fullName)
src = cv2.imread(fullName, cv2.IMREAD_COLOR)
gray = cv2.cvtColor(src, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
lines = lsd(gray)
for i in xrange(lines.shape[0]):
pt1 = (int(lines[i, 0]), int(lines[i, 1]))
pt2 = (int(lines[i, 2]), int(lines[i, 3]))
width = lines[i, 4]
cv2.line(src, pt1, pt2, (0, 0, 255), int(np.ceil(width / 2)))
cv2.imwrite(os.path.join(folder, 'cv2_' + imgName.split('.')[0] + '.jpg'), src)
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import numpy as np
import os
from pylsd.lsd import lsd
fullName = 'house.png'
folder, imgName = os.path.split(fullName)
img = Image.open(fullName)
gray = np.asarray(img.convert('L'))
lines = lsd(gray)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
for i in xrange(lines.shape[0]):
pt1 = (int(lines[i, 0]), int(lines[i, 1]))
pt2 = (int(lines[i, 2]), int(lines[i, 3]))
width = lines[i, 4]
draw.line((pt1, pt2), fill=(0, 0, 255), width=int(np.ceil(width / 2)))
img.save(os.path.join(folder, 'PIL_' + imgName.split('.')[0] + '.jpg'))
The following is the result:
