Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.
The beepwin package is a C++ extension that requires a build environment to be installed on your system. You must be able to build node.js itself to be able to compile and install the beepwin module.
For compiling beepwin on windows, the following tools.
Open visual studio command prompt. Ensure node.exe is in your path and install node-gyp.
npm install -g node-gyp
Next you will have to build the project manually to test it. Use any tool you use with git and grab the repo.
git clone https://github.com/kingleonide/beepwin.git
cd beepwin
set PYTHON=D:\Programs\Python27\python.exe (setup your python.exe path)
npm install
node-gyp rebuild
or
set PYTHON=D:\Programs\Python27\python.exe (setup your python.exe path)
npm install beepwin
This should rebuild the driver successfully if you have everything set up correctly.
var Beep = require("beepwin");
Beep(); // Default Beep(3000, 100);
Beep(10000, 100); // 10000 = Frequency, 100 = Duration in Milliseconds
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){
Beep(1000 * i, 100);
}
