Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.
github.com/cohhei/tcp
cohhei/http
is a too simple and naive HTTP client and server library that doesn't depend on net/http
. This client has only one method, Do
which sends an HTTP request.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io"
"log"
"os"
"github.com/cohhei/http"
)
func main() {
// Create a client.
c := http.NewClient()
// Create a request.
req := &http.Request{
Method: "GET",
Host: "example.com",
Path: "/index.html",
Header: Header{},
}
// Send the request.
resp, err := c.Do(req)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(resp)
io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp.Body)
}
package main
import (
"io"
"log"
"os"
"github.com/cohhei/http"
)
func main() {
log.SetFlags(log.LstdFlags | log.Lshortfile)
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w io.Writer, r io.Reader) {
io.Copy(os.Stderr, r)
w.Write([]byte("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\naaaaa: bbbbbb\n\nHello World!"))
})
log.Print("http://127.0.0.1:8080/")
if err := http.ListenAndServe(8080); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
This package has a TCP client that depends on only syscall
.
// Create a client
c := http.NewTCPClient()
// Connect to the address
ip := [4]byte{127, 0, 0, 1}
port := 11111
if err := c.Connect(ip, port); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Read data
resp, err := c.Read()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp)
// Write data
n, err := c.Write([]byte("world"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
This package has a UDP client that depends on only syscall
.
c := http.NewUDPClient()
ip := [4]byte{8, 8, 8, 8}
port := 53
b := []byte{0x01}
if err := c.SendTo(b, ip, port); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer c.Close()
resp, err := c.Recvfrom()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp)
