Malicious PyPI Package Exploits Deezer API for Coordinated Music Piracy
Socket researchers uncovered a malicious PyPI package exploiting Deezer’s API to enable coordinated music piracy through API abuse and C2 server control.
Twitter for busy people.
Register at https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
Example:
Then click on keys and access tokens and generate an access token. You will need this for the setup.
Install lazybird running:
$ gem install lazybird
Once lazybird is installed you can run it with:
lazybird
or
bundle exec lazybird
The CLI should appear:
Typically you want to setup the database first running setup
And run config to enter your twitter settings: config consumer_key consumer_secret access_token access_token_secret
Run the CLI with lazybird
- you would need to keep the app running as long as you want to tweet automatically.
Lazybird contains (at the moment) only two tasks that run at a certain configured time:
retweet_random: Retweets a random tweet (latest) from a random friend
tweet_storm: Tweets a random quote from the Storm API http://quotes.stormconsultancy.co.uk
Add them both to your list of tasks (this will store them in an internal DB to resume later)
add retweet_random
add tweet_storm
Then you want to either randomly tweet something now with run now
or schedule it to tweet every N minutes/hours/day:s run 2h
or run 30m
for example.
You will need to keep the command line open and you should see an update everytime something random gets tweeted.
Lazybird stores a DB/config file at ~/.twitter.db - make sure it's safe.
