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.
This project provides a collection of tools for the BitTorrent protocol
and especially the rTorrent client
_. They enable you to filter
rTorrent's item list for displaying or changing selected items, also
creating, inspecting and changing .torrent
files, and much more.
An optional daemon process (pyrotorque
) can add flexible queue
management for rTorrent, starting items added in bulk slowly over time
according to customizable rules. The same daemon can also watch one or
more directory trees recursively for new metafiles using inotify,
resulting in instantaneous loading without any polling and no extra
configuration for nested directories.
The PyroScope
command line utilities are not the same as the
sibling project rTorrent-PS
_, and they work perfectly fine without it;
the same is true the other way 'round. It's just that both
unsurprisingly have synergies if used together, and some features do
only work when both are present.
Further information can be found in the main documentation
_.
