The Landscape of Malicious Open Source Packages: 2025 Mid‑Year Threat Report
A look at the top trends in how threat actors are weaponizing open source packages to deliver malware and persist across the software supply chain.

UserAgent is a Go library that parses HTTP User Agents. As an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/mssola/useragent"
)
func main() {
// The "New" function will create a new UserAgent object and it will parse
// the given string. If you need to parse more strings, you can re-use
// this object and call: ua.Parse("another string")
ua := useragent.New("Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.7; en-us; Nexus One Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1")
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Mobile()) // => true
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Bot()) // => false
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Mozilla()) // => "5.0"
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Model()) // => "Nexus One"
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Platform()) // => "Linux"
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.OS()) // => "Android 2.3.7"
name, version := ua.Engine()
fmt.Printf("%v\n", name) // => "AppleWebKit"
fmt.Printf("%v\n", version) // => "533.1"
name, version = ua.Browser()
fmt.Printf("%v\n", name) // => "Android"
fmt.Printf("%v\n", version) // => "4.0"
// Let's see an example with a bot.
ua.Parse("Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)")
fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Bot()) // => true
name, version = ua.Browser()
fmt.Printf("%v\n", name) // => Googlebot
fmt.Printf("%v\n", version) // => 2.1
}
