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.

bluebullet Posted 2025年05月15日Unclear how to install in Kubuntu 25.05. Support stinks for open source software.

wvw Posted 2024年01月05日Saves me from using vim on Linux. Lots of versatility with Rexx/Regina macro language. Been using for over 25 years.

m_hoffmann Posted 2015年04月01日Coming from XEdit/REXX background (IBM VM/CMS) via KEdit/PersonalREXX (DOS, Win) (Mansfield Software group) to THE and Regina REXX. Still one of the best editors around. The only thing missing, though not trivial to implement I fear, is unicode support. I prefer the old CUI TUI text mode interface.

johnbsayles Posted 2011年02月16日Same reasons. I used Xedit for years and am familiar with this territory in THE. Now I write .the macros all the time.

thito01 Posted 2010年07月21日The product is great for us mainframe users who have use Xedit for many years. I don't understand the guy that gave it a 'thumbs down' because it was stated that it is "OS Independent". This is delivered in source. How much more "OS Independent" can you get???
