Malicious npm Packages Target WhatsApp Developers with Remote Kill Switch
Two npm packages masquerading as WhatsApp developer libraries include a kill switch that deletes all files if the phone number isn’t whitelisted.
A module that exports an Array of IPv4, non internal, addresses, wuth a handy toString()
method that returns its first IP, or 0.0.0.0
if no IPv4 was found.
The list of IPs is Wi-Fi first, Ethernet after, which is the most common use case I have for IoT projects and so on.
import IPv4 from 'any-ipv4';
import {createServer} from 'http';
createServer(handler).listen(8080, () => {
console.log(`http://${IPv4}:8080/`);
});
