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.

Hypert is an open-source Go library that simplifies testing of HTTP API clients. It provides a convenient way to record and replay HTTP interactions, making it easy to create reliable and maintainable tests for your API clients.
http.Client
go get github.com/areknoster/hypert
hypert.TestClient
to create an http.Client
instance for testing:func TestMyAPI(t *testing.T) {
httpClient := hypert.TestClient(t, true) // true to record real requests
// Use the client to make API requests.
// The requests and responses would be stored in ./testdata/TestMyAPI
myAPI := NewMyAPI(httpClient, os.GetEnv("API_SECRET"))
// Make an API request with your adapter.
// use static arguments, so that validation against recorded requests can happen
stuff, err := myAPI.GetStuff(time.Date(2022, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC))
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("failed to get stuff: %v", err)
}
// Assertions on the actual API response
if stuff.ID != "ID-FROM-RESP" {
t.Errorf("stuff ")
}
}
After you're done with building and testing your integration, change the mode to replay
func TestMyAPI(t *testing.T) {
httpClient := hypert.TestClient(t, false) // false to replay stored requests
// Now client would validate requests against what's stored in ./testdata/TestMyAPI/*.req.http
// and load the response from ./testdata/TestMyAPI/*.resp.http
myAPI := NewMyAPI(httpClient, os.GetEnv("API_SECRET"))
// HTTP requests are validated against what was prevously recorded.
// This behaviour can be customized using WithRequestValidator option
stuff, err := myAPI.GetStuff(time.Date(2022, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC))
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("failed to get stuff: %v", err)
}
// Same assertions that were true on actual API responses should be true for replayed API responses.
if stuff.ID != "ID-FROM-RESP" {
t.Errorf("stuff ")
}
}
Now your tests:
I plan to maintain backward compatibility as much as possible, but breaking changes may occur before the first stable release, v1.0.0 if major issues are discovered.
Check out the examples directory for sample usage of Hypert in different scenarios.
