Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.

This package aims to provide a simple method to access I2C and SMBus devices. The functionality is limited to what I required at the time it was created but it should be commented well enough for others to extend it to meet their needs (have included quite a bit C code in the comments to make it easy to find the relevant bits in the kernel code).
Currently supports Linux only and has only been tested with a small number of devices connected to amd64 linux machines.
Note: While only linux is supported the code has been written so that it will compile on any platform (but will always return an error if used).
Thanks to the authors of periph.io (have copied/pasted a hunk of code) and github.com/go-daq/smbus (helped me work out the smbus calls).
