tea.xyz Spam Plagues npm and RubyGems Package Registries
Tea.xyz, a crypto project aimed at rewarding open source contributions, is once again facing backlash due to an influx of spam packages flooding public package registries.
awesome-crypto
Advanced tools
Readme
Generates secure random numbers using crypto.randomBytes()
. Numbers can be of any magnitude and in any base from 2 to 64.
This package is a full rework of my old package csprng-64
but now far better. I decided to release it as a completely separate package and deprecate the previous one as the entire code base was changed and I wasn't fond of the previous name either.
Install with yarn:
$ yarn add awesome-crypto
Call the function passing the number of required bits, and the radix of the output.
const { crypto } = require('awesome-crypto'); // import { crypto } from 'awesome-crypto';
// Takes a bit length and base parameter
// base examples are base64 or base32
crypto(160, 64);
// You can also import the predefined Radix's so you can be sure you're using a supported radix
const { Radix } = require('awesome-crypto'); // import { Radix } from 'awesome-crypto'
crypto(160, Radix.base64);
