Comcast’s Network is a Pit of Malware

© 2024 Mark McWiggins

I have been working for weeks to get a web server up and going on while connected to the Xfinity/Comcast network.

Unfortunately it’s so infected with malware that I had to write a tool to automatically clean the cruft up. I did this with Python and I should have a first version released and on Github tonight with any luck.

Here’s to increasing security awareness for everyone. It’s a cesspool out there!
