Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
Enables working with integers beyond 53 bits (the upper limit of what
JavaScript's Number
type can accurately represent).
This is a pure JavaScript library, unlike other libraries that do the same thing.
var bigint = require('bigintjs');
console.log(bigint('99999999999999999999999999999').add('1').toString());
// 100000000000000000000000000000
// Bitwise operations on a big number (JavaScript only supports up to 32 bits)
var value = bigint('0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF').and('0xF0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0').shiftLeft(8);
You can install this package with NPM:
npm install --save bigintjs
To be able to run this in a browser, you need to use a framework that supports CommonJS modules (for example: Browserify).
FAQs
Allows working with integers of any size.
