9 Malicious NuGet Packages Deliver Time-Delayed Destructive Payloads
Socket researchers discovered nine malicious NuGet packages that use time-delayed payloads to crash applications and corrupt industrial control systems.
pop-wrapper
Advanced tools
A comprehensive Python wrapper for the Popcat API providing access to over 60 endpoints including image manipulation, meme generation, data retrieval, text utilities, and more.
pip install pop-wrapper
git clone https://github.com/LandWarderer2772/pop-wrapper.git
cd pop-wrapper
### Basic Usage
```python
import popcat
# Generate a meme
drake_meme = popcat.drake("Using other APIs", "Using Popcat API")
## Features
- **Image Manipulation**: Apply filters and effects (jail, blur, colorify, etc.)
- **Meme Generation**: Create popular meme formats (Drake, Pooh, Supreme, etc.)
- **Data APIs**: Access real-world data (weather, GitHub, Steam, etc.)
- **Text Utilities**: Transform text (translate, morse code, reverse, etc.)
- **Random Content**: Get jokes, facts, shower thoughts, and more
- **Utilities**: Screenshots, lyrics, chatbot, welcome cards
- **Specialized Classes**: Code paste creation and URL shortening
## Complete Endpoint Reference

The Popcat API may have rate limits. For production applications:
import time
import popcat
def rate_limited_request(func, *args, delay=1, **kwargs):
"""Make rate-limited API requests"""
try:
result = func(*args, **kwargs)
time.sleep(delay) # Add delay between requests
return result
except Exception as e:
if "rate limit" in str(e).lower():
time.sleep(5) # Wait longer on rate limit
return func(*args, **kwargs)
raise e
# Example usage
meme = rate_limited_request(popcat.drake, "Fast requests", "Rate limited requests")
The package includes comprehensive error handling:
import popcat
try:
# Invalid image URL
result = popcat.jail("not-a-url")
except ValueError as e:
print(f"Validation error: {e}")
try:
# API request failure
result = popcat.weather("NonexistentCity123")
except Exception as e:
print(f"API error: {e}")
# Graceful error handling
def safe_meme_generation(text1, text2):
try:
return popcat.drake(text1, text2)
except ValueError:
return None # Invalid input
except Exception:
return popcat.supreme(text1) # Fallback to different meme
