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 Work in Progress. DO NOT USE in production.
For all the examples, meme.png is used. Please replace that with whatever Image you use
from polaroid import Image
im = Image("meme.png")
im.solarize()
im.save("solar.png")
# Just an example use any library to supply bytes
from polaroid import Image
import requests
byt = requests.get("https://dagpi.xyz/dagpi.png").content
im = Image(byt)
im.filter("dramatic")
ret_byt = im.save_bytes()
from polaroid import Image
im = Image("meme.png")
h = im.height
w = im.weight
wi,hei = im.size
image_format = im.format
mode = im.mode
from polaroid import Image, Rgb
im = Image("meme.png")
# Color Rgb
color = Rgb(78, 93, 148)
im.color(color)
# Now Save
