Malicious Go “crypto” Module Steals Passwords and Deploys Rekoobe Backdoor
An impersonated golang.org/x/crypto clone exfiltrates passwords, executes a remote shell stager, and delivers a Rekoobe backdoor on Linux.
pywordsegment
Advanced tools
A fast concatenated-word segmentation library written in Rust, inspired by wordninja and wordsegment. The binding uses pyo3 to interact with the rust package.
pip3 install pywordsegment
import pywordsegment
# The internal UNIGRAMS & BIGRAMS corpuses are lazy initialized
# once per the whole module. Multiple WordSegmenter instances would
# not create new dictionaries.
# Segments a word to its parts
pywordsegment.WordSegmenter.segment(
text="theusashops",
)
# ["the", "usa", "shops"]
# This function checks whether the substring exists as a whole segment
# inside text.
pywordsegment.WordSegmenter.exist_as_segment(
substring="inter",
text="internationalairport",
)
# False
pywordsegment.WordSegmenter.exist_as_segment(
substring="inter",
text="intermilan",
)
# True
