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.
browser-process-hrtime
Advanced tools
The browser-process-hrtime package is a browser shim for Node.js's process.hrtime. It allows you to get high-resolution real-time stamps with nanosecond precision, which is useful for performance testing, benchmarking, or tracking the time between events with high accuracy.
High-resolution time stamps
This feature allows you to measure precise time intervals. The code sample demonstrates how to get the current high-resolution real-time stamp, wait for 1 second using setTimeout, and then get another time stamp to calculate the duration.
const now = require('browser-process-hrtime');
const start = now();
setTimeout(function () {
const end = now(start);
console.log('seconds:', end[0]);
console.log('nanoseconds:', end[1]);
}, 1000);
This package provides a function that returns the current timestamp in milliseconds. It's similar to browser-process-hrtime but does not provide nanosecond precision.
hrtime is another shim for process.hrtime. It offers similar functionality to browser-process-hrtime, providing high-resolution real-time stamps.
nano-time gives you the current time in nanoseconds as a string. It's similar to browser-process-hrtime in that it provides high precision timing, but it does not use the same API as process.hrtime.
Browser shim for Node.js process.hrtime()
.
See documentation at nodejs.org
This module does not provide the same level of time precision as node.js, but provides a matching API and response format.
Use hrtime independent of environment (node or browser).
It will use process.hrtime
first and fallback if not present.
const hrtime = require('browser-process-hrtime')
const start = hrtime()
// ...
const delta = hrtime(start)
You can monkey-patch process.hrtime
for your dependency graph like this:
process.hrtime = require('browser-process-hrtime')
const coolTool = require('module-that-uses-hrtime-somewhere-in-its-depths')
This was originally pull-requested against node-process, but they are trying to stay lean.
