About
Github is a website for hosting repositories of code, allowing for distributed version control and source code management. Programmers often upload their code projects to Github to share them publicly or privately. Public code projects are often seeking contributors or code help, and can be sold or be open source. Github is not the only code repository on the Internet, but it is the most popular, boasting over 9 million users and more than 2.1 million projects as of 2015.
Users create repositories, or "repos", and share them. Other users can "fork" the repo, or create an organizational offshoot of the code for editing purposes, but they often will have to send a "pull-request" to the original programmers to be able to fork.
The logo of Github is the Octocat, and Github hosts editing contests where users are invited to create different costumes or scenarios for the logo. These edits are housed in a sub-site called the Octodex.[6]
Online History
Founded in 2008, Github quickly caught on with programmers looking for an easier way to store and share code online. By 2010, Github announced that it had 1 million total repositories.[2]
International Censorship
On December 3, 2014, Russian Internet controller RosComNadzor blocked Github[3] after the platform was found to be hosting a file that detailed 32 different ways to kill yourself in Russian. Github didn't comply with the Russian government's request that the content be removed and therefore was fire-walled.
A few weeks later, on December 17th, 2014, Github was included as one of 30 websites blocked by the government-run Internet Service Providers for purportedly hosting content related to ISIS. On December 31st, Indian access to Github was restored.[4]
Chinese DDoS Attack
On March 26th, 2015, Github was hit with a large DDoS attack which originated in China. The attack caused the site to be unavailable in some places for more than 24 hours.[5] Github has said that they believe they were the subject of the attack because they host content that shows users how to subvert the censorship of the Chinese Internet.

![shantanu-vsbhosale commented on May 26 [context: a library we ship with mitmproxy has a vulnerability in parts not used by mitmproxy, so it does not not affect our users] @Prinzhorn @mhils Just curious why are we not releasing the fix even though CVE-2023-0286 is a High severity vulnerability ? Developers who are already using library cryptography > 39.0.1 won't be able to use mitmproxy. Other libraries have already released the fix. For example, https://pypi.org/project/pyOpenSSL/23.1.0/ Prinzhorn commented on May 26 # 5966 (comment) I don't think either of the posted vulnerabilities affects mitmproxy users in a significant way, so I don't think we will ship a patch release just for that. :) FrugalGuy commented yesterday 28 @Prinzhorn Do you have a target date for the next release? Our customers in regulated industries (banking, federal, etc.) are prohibited by regulations from using s/w with known High and Critical severity vulnerabilities. I'm trying to formulate our case for waiting, but need some kind of target date. mhils commented yesterday 36 @FrugalGuy: If you are interested in timely patch releases to fix your company's compliance requirements, I'm happy to set up a support contract. Email is on my profile. :-) 18 3. mitmproxy locked as too heated and limited conversation to collaborators 10 hours ago Concerning response > Inbox x to github@hi.ls ▾ Mr. Hils, mhils commented Member @us.ibm.com> Jul 14, 2023, 11:56 PM (14 hours ago) hours ago Rather than inflame matters or pollute the github issue tracker with unnecessary verbiage, I'm hoping to better explain my request for a target date in hopes of getting a direct answer. I hope you won't find this follow-up to be offensive - that's certainly not my intention. Member I'm assuming your response to my request for the next mitmproxy target date was a joke rather than an official project response or, worse, a thinly veiled extortion attempt. In reviewing the project's official documentation, mhils commented 9 hours ago Reply to all I @FrugalGuy has just sent me genuine apology, which I truly appreciate. Please be nice and assume good intentions. Since this has been picked up by some news sites I'd like to provide some additional context here: I don't mind the release question at all, it's valid! But the context should ideally be along the lines of "we have an interest in this, how can we help make it happen" (contributions or $) and not "you are causing problems for our customers". I don't want the requestor to have a miserable time because of a badly-worded comment, I want large companies to have a healthy relationship with FOSS.
