Chapter 5 of geocompx talks about:

- Cropping & masking rasters with vectors
- Extracting raster values via vector data
- Raster ↔️ vector conversion (polygonize & rasterize)

Chinese Hackers Exploit ArcGIS Server as Backdoor for Over a Year Threat actors with ties to China have been attributed to a novel campaign that compromised an ArcGIS system and turned it into a backdoor for more than a year. The activity, per ReliaQuest, is the handiwork of a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group called Flax Typhoon, which is also tracked as Ethereal Panda and RedJuliett. According to the U.S. government, it's assessed to be a publicly-traded

🚨 A Chinese APT hid inside ArcGIS for over a year.

They turned a legit Java extension into a web shell.
