Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
@rocicorp/lock
Advanced tools
Provides Lock
and RWLock
(read write lock) synchronization primitives for
protecting in-memory state across multiple tasks and/or microtasks.
npm install @rocicorp/lock
Lock
is a mutex that can be used to synchronize access to a shared resource.
import {Lock} from '@rocicorp/lock';
const lock = new Lock();
async function f(n) {
const v = await lock.withLock(async () => {
await sleep(1000);
return n;
});
console.log(n);
}
void f(1);
void f(2);
// prints 1 at t=1000
// prints 2 at t=2000
RWLock
is a read write lock. There can be mutlipe readers at the same time but only one writer at the same time.
import {RWLock} from '@rocicorp/lock';
const rwLock = new RWLock();
async function read(n) {
const v = await lock.withRead(async () => {
await sleep(1000);
return n;
});
console.log('read', n);
}
async function write(n) {
const v = await lock.withWrite(async () => {
await sleep(1000);
return n;
});
console.log('write', n);
}
void read(1);
void write(2);
void read(3);
// prints read 1 at t=1000
// prints read 3 at t=1000
// prints write 2 at t=2000
Both Lock
and RWLock
expose non "with" methods (lock
, read
and write
). These returns a promise to a release function that resolves when the lock is acquired. This is useful when you cannot wrap your code in a function like the examples above. When using these For example:
const lock = new Lock();
const release = await lock.lock();
// here we got the lock
// do something
release();
