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.
termplotlib is a Python library for all your terminal plotting needs. It aims to work like matplotlib.
For line plots, termplotlib relies on gnuplot. With that installed, the code
import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 10)
y = np.sin(x)
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.plot(x, y, label="data", width=50, height=15)
fig.show()
produces

import numpy as np
rng = np.random.default_rng(123)
sample = rng.standard_normal(size=1000)
counts, bin_edges = np.histogram(sample)

Horizontal bar charts are covered as well. This
import termplotlib as tpl
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.barh([3, 10, 5, 2], ["Cats", "Dogs", "Cows", "Geese"], force_ascii=True)
fig.show()
produces
Cats [ 3] ************
Dogs [10] ****************************************
Cows [ 5] ********************
Geese [ 2] ********

Support for tables has moved over to termtables.
termplotlib is available from the Python Package Index, so simply do
pip install termplotlib
to install.
