Recent Trends in Malicious Packages Targeting Discord
The Socket research team breaks down a sampling of malicious packages that download and execute files, among other suspicious behaviors, targeting the popular Discord platform.
ah-fs
Advanced tools
Readme
Tracks async hook events related to file system operations.
npm install ah-fs
Instantiates a FileSystemActivityCollector.
Extends ActivityCollector and thus exposes the same public API with added functionality.
Parameters
$0.start
Array<number> the start time of the process, i.e. the result of process.hrtime()
$0.stackCapturer
StackCapturer? see ah-stack-capturer which
configures how and when stacks traces are captured and processed.By default a StackCapturer is used that captures stacks for all events for
file system related types: FSREQWRAP
, FSREQUESTWRAP
(optional, default StackCapturer
)$0.bufferLength
number? determines how many elements of Buffers are
captured. By default not Buffer data is captured. (optional, default 0
)$0.stringLength
number? determines how much of each string is
captured. By default no string data is captured. (optional, default 0
)$0.captureArguments
boolean? if true
arguments of callbacks
are captured when they are processed. (optional, default false
)$0.captureSource
boolean? if true
the source code of callbacks
is captured when they are processed. (optional, default false
)Getter that returns all activities related to file system operations.
Returns Map<string, object> fileSystemActivities
Cleans up all captured resources which means that they are processed, meaningful data extracted and the reference to the actual resource removed so it can be GCed.
Resources are cleaned during after
and destroy
events, therefore
calling this function only affects those resources for which none of these
events have fired yet.
Returns FileSystemActivityCollector fileSystemActivityCollector
Finds all buffers that are part of the resources, including arguments passed to callbacks and stringifies their value for the supplied encodings.
Parameters
encodings
Array<string>? specified for which encodings to create
strings. In order to creates strings for all encodings, pass
stringify-buffer.encodings (optional, default 'utf8','hex'
)Returns FileSystemActivityCollector fileSystemActivityCollector
