In an introductory C++ course, a student is developing a program to analyze URL links and perform string searches within them. The goal is to create a response based on the URL input, such as identifying the website and providing a description. The student is seeking information about a built-in C++ library that could facilitate this task. Suggestions include the <algorithm> library, which may be useful for string manipulation and searching, although the discussion acknowledges that there are likely multiple libraries that could serve this purpose effectively.

My professor told us that there is a built in c++ library to make this easy, I've been searching everywhere but I have no idea what library this is.

thanks.

I'm sure there's more than one! But no doubt there is one that's best suited.

The <algorithm> lib might be of use to you?

Anthropic announced that an inflection point has been reached where the LLM tools are good enough to help or hinder cybersecurity folks. In the most recent case in September 2025, state hackers used Claude in Agentic mode to break into 30+ high-profile companies, of which 17 or so were actually breached before Anthropic shut it down. They mentioned that Clause hallucinated and told the hackers it was more successful than it was...
