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.
Ramlwrap is a toolkit for Django which allows a combination of rapid server prototyping as well as enforcement of API definition from the RAML api.
RAML (and swagger) allow for rapid specification of API's, but it can be hard to know if your engineers have programmed exactly what the API is, and that your code is enforcing the same schema that you have defined. Ramlwrap bridges the gap between the specification and the code. A developer provides a mapping table of URL to function, and the raml wrap builds a wrapper around those functions where validation of data occurs.
When coupled with auto documentation (raml2html) this allows a fully integrated specification and code deployment to occur.
