@munin i mean even if there wasn't in the stdlib, there's cffi
re: cursed
yeah no this is.....enough to make some assumptions about the behavior of a very badly behaved tool in python.

@munin do I want to know which tool
re: cursed
The behavior we're looking at is certain malware's use of mmap to avoid doing normal file write ops, but then a coworker noted that amazon's cli does other things that are -documented- as "don't do this shit" so it might throw falsepos

@robryk @demize
People do all -kinds- of horseshit that looks entirely unreasonable and counterproductive outside of very specific internal contexts.
This is only a problem for the work I do if it's someone in FAANG doing it.
