Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
Arbitrary bit length hashes and hmacs from arbitrary bit length data and key.
This is a single function package implementing an arbitrary bit length hash and hmac from arbitrary length input and key. Input and key can be either string, Buffer, or in case of non-byte-aligned cases, a BitBuf object. This entire function is an extension to BitBuf.
const bitBufHash = require('bitbufhash');
console.log(bitBufHash('foo', 'bar', 27, 'sha256').toString());
const bitBufHash = require('bitbufhash');
const BitBuf = require('bitbuf');
console.log(bitBufHash(BitBuf.from('010101'), BitBuf.from('1001001101'), 13, 'md5').toString());
Just figure it out. Length of the hash is calculated into the hash, so same key and same data produce totally different hash values, if the length differs (i.e. the hash is not just truncated ans therefore share a common prefix).
