Kill Switch Hidden in npm Packages Typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar
Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
clony-pasta
Advanced tools
Foolishly simple scaffolding tool using the ez template language.
npm install clony-pasta -g
clony-pasta [git repository] [destination folder]
Set up a git repository with a scaffold. For example, your package.json
might look something like this:
{
"name": "{% scoped? %}@{% scope %}/{% end %}{% name %}",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "{% description %}",
"author": "{% author %}",
"license": "MIT",
...
}
Conditional files and directories are also supported. For example, if you only sometimes want to generate tests, you could name your test directory {% makeTests? %}tests{% end %}
and it will only include the directory (and sub-directories) if you respond "yes" to the makeTests?
prompt.
Then, when you want to generate a new project based on the scaffold, invoke the command:
clony-pasta git@github.com:scott113341/scaffold-npm-module.git my-new-project
