I built a very simplistic honeypot using an esp8266 microcontroller that I programmmed in Micropython. The esp8266 creates a telnet server, and must be port forwarded in order to be accessed by others. When a hacker logs into the server, they get a fake terminal interface, and they have some commands available to them (I tried to make it look like an ancient account processsing terminal from a bank). The original inspiration for this came from the Arduino honeypot found on reddit. This is my first reasonably-sized project, so any suggestions and edits are welcome. Link to the repo here

Hi everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm trying to bring creative bots back to the open web with my new project:

github.com/botwiki/glitch-fedivers...

It's a bot/self-updating website that uses ActivityPub to federate its updates, so anyone who uses a compatible social network, for example Mastodon, can follow it.

The project uses node.js and is hosted on glitch.com. Check out the issues to see the work that's left.

Repo: OwaspHeaders.Core
Open Issue: Feature-Policy header is not supported
Language: C#
License: MIT

It's not necessarily a beginners issue, because of how I've structured the project and it requires a little knowledge about how ASP NET Core's HttpContext class, the use of my HttpContextExtensions class, a little knowledge about how the Builder Pattern, and a working knowledge (or ability to switch browser tabs I guess ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ) of HTTP headers.

The issue itself should have links to all of the documentation required in order to do the work. I can see the work required for this header taking a similar path to the way that I've implemented the Content Security Policy stuff.

My project Flask Weather App โ˜€๏ธโ˜”๏ธis looking for contributors of all levels. Currently, this is a Flask (Python) application that auto-detects local weather based off of user's external IP address.

We have issues that span adding emojis, more hands-on design, adding copy, setting up logic and more!

ไธญๆ–‡ไป‹็ป(Chinese Intro): zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/45672318

CVPM (Computer Vision Package Manager) is an open source software to help developers download, install and run computer vision services. It is the 'pip' for computer vision.

Though it is still in a very early stage and not recommend for use in production (actually, I do not recommend you to try it now because it may contain unknown bugs), We'd like to invite adorable developers to join us. We have a roadmap draft as below:

  • Complete the test cases and docs.

  • Complete the Model Hub. (Prototype is at hub.autoai.org)

  • Complete packages for some classic tasks as "Official Repo"

  • Complete third party package upload.

As an open source software, I am really sorry that we cannot promise you anything. But the following is what I can do:

  • We will have an Authors List for all the contributors.

  • There will be logo banner and donors page at the bottom of our Model Hub for sponsors.

If you are interested, please contact me at xiaozhe.yaoi@gmail.com, or you can post a GitHub Issues.

We are building the strictest python linter ever!
We have just released the second version of our linter thanks to the #hacktoberfest contributors.

wemake-services / wemake-python-styleguide

The most opinionated linter ever

wemake-python-styleguide

wemake.services Build Status Build status Coverage Python Version Documentation Status Dependencies Status


Welcome to the most opinionated linter ever.

wemake-python-styleguide is actually a flake8 plugin with some other plugins as dependencies.

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly
Explicit is better than implicit
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a
โ€ฆ

And there's so much work to do!
Our current goal is to provide new rules that encourage people to write a better code.

You can find out more about Hactoberfest tasks here: github.com/wemake-services/wemake-...

Let's make python code awesome together!

Any contribution is welcome! Any required help and guidance will be provided.
Feel free to ask any question you have in the project's issues.
Happy hacking!

Happy #hacktoberfest! Weโ€™d love to have contributors to our open source repositories that help our Associative Engine perform the heavy lifting in terms of data manipulation and visualization.

Here are some of our open issues. Most of these are Qlik-centric but a couple are tagged as good first issues where you donโ€™t need to know Qlik. Any help or feedback is much appreciated. Happy hacking!
