Monitoring, Securing, Optimizing 3rd party scripts

For developers looking for a solution to monitor, script, and optimize 3rd party scripts

c/side is crawling many sites to get ahead of new attacks. c/side is the only fully autonomous detection tool for assessing 3rd party scripts. We do not rely purely on threat feed intel or easy to circumvent detections. We also use historical context and AI to review the payload and behavior of scripts.

A Stellar Tool for Modern Scripting - ooRexx Shines Bright!
lhasadad Posted 2024-04-24

Rexx in all its forms has been a fantastic language to learn and use.

I started using REXX on VM/SP Release in which it was first included, I believe Rel 3. I immediately loved it and used it for all kinds of projects. When I retired I discovered ooRexx and began running it in Windows. I was able to run some VM/REXX scripts almost unchanged in Windows. At first I thought I would never grasp Object Oriented programming but this 80 year old dog is actually using it a little, I really like being able to use ooRexx to interface with MS Office, especially Excel.

OOrexx on UBUNTU 20.04 The latest OOrexx 4.2.0 package for Ubuntu (ooRexx-4.2.0-1.ubuntu1310.x86_64.deb) fails to install on Ubuntu 20.04. There is a 5.0.0 beta (ooRexx-5.0.0-12066.ubuntu1604.x86_64.deb) on Sourceforge that is now running happily. So far no problems found. Loek Sluijter
