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.
About ===== swsg (static web site generator) is a tool to create static websites using human-readable markup languages like ReST_. It was highly-inspired by SR_. The advantage of SWSG against directly using (X)HTML files is that you have one (or more) templates and do not have to rewrite every your main layout on ebery single site. You can concentrate on the main content: the text; the content is seperated from the templates.
Features
========
- supports many markup languages: Markdown_, Creole_, Textile_, ReST_
- supports many template engines: Jinja2_, Mako_, Genshi_, and also a very
simple template language for those who do not need control structures like
loops or if-conditions
- supports clevercss_ beside the usual CSS as a markup language for the
stylesheets
- provides multiple interfaces: until now, only a CLI is implemented, but
others are planned:
- PIDA_-Plugin
- web interface
- possibly a GTK+ or Qt application, but I think using the PIDA-Plugin is
more comfortable
