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.
The bitmovin API for NodeJS is a seamless integration with the bitmovin cloud transcoding system. It enables the generation of MPEG-DASH and HLS content in just some minutes.
Change directory to your project folder and install with NPM.
cd your/project/folder
npm install bitcodin --save
Before you can start using the api you need to set your API key.
Your API key can be found in the settings of your bitmovin user account, as shown in the figure below.
An example how you can set the bitcodin API is shown in the following:
var bitcodin = require('bitcodin')('THIS_IS_MY_API_KEY');
Each Api call with the bitcodin object returns a promise, which can be processed like follows:
bitcodin.input.list()
.then(function(inputs) {
console.log('inputs', inputs);
}, function(err) {
console.error(err);
});
This example shows the process of creating a new input and a new encoding profile. When the above mentioned objects are created a new transcoding job will be created.
var bitcodin = require('bitcodin')('THIS_IS_MY_API_KEY'),
openMovieUrl = 'http://eu-storage.bitcodin.com/inputs/Sintel.2010.720p.mkv',
createInputPromise, createEncodingProfilePromise;
// Create bitcodin Input
createInputPromise = bitcodin.input.create(openMovieUrl);
// Create bitcodin encoding profile. The ApiAry documentation which explains how such a
// encoding profile should look like can be found at the link below
// http://docs.bitcodinrestapi.apiary.io/#reference/encoding-profiles/create-an-encoding-profile
var encodingProfileConfiguration = {
"name": "bitcodin Encoding Profile",
"videoStreamConfigs": [
{
"defaultStreamId": 0,
"bitrate": 1024000,
"profile": "Main",
"preset": "premium",
"height": 768,
"width": 1366
}
],
"audioStreamConfigs": [
{
"defaultStreamId": 0,
"bitrate": 256000
}
]
};
createEncodingProfilePromise = bitcodin.encodingProfile.create(encodingProfileConfiguration);
// Create a bitcodin job which transcodes the video to DASH and HLS. The ApiAry documentation which explains
// how a job configuration object should look like can be found at the following link below
// http://docs.bitcodinrestapi.apiary.io/#reference/jobs/job/create-a-job
var jobConfiguration = {
"inputId": -1,
"encodingProfileId": -1,
"manifestTypes": ["mpd", "m3u8"]
};
Q.all([createInputPromise, createEncodingProfilePromise]).then(
function (result) {
console.log('Successfully created input and encoding profile');
jobConfiguration.inputId = result[0].inputId;
jobConfiguration.encodingProfileId = result[1].encodingProfileId;
bitcodin.job.create(jobConfiguration)
.then(
function (newlyCreatedJob) {
console.log('Successfully created a new transcoding job:', newlyCreatedJob);
console.log('MPD-Url:', newlyCreatedJob.manifestUrls.mpdUrl);
console.log('M3U8-Url:', newlyCreatedJob.manifestUrls.m3u8Url);
},
function (error) {
console.log('Error while creating a new transcoding job:', error);
}
);
},
function (error) {
console.log('Error while creating input and/or encoding profile:', error);
}
);
