Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.

Advanced tools
An implementation of the Concur algorithm.
There is a paper describing the algorithm which is (as they say) by no means inaccessible to the non-specialist:
To summarise, the algorithm makes the following contributions:
With npm:
npm install concur-algorithm
You can also clone the repository with Git...
git clone https://github.com/jecs-imperial/concur-algorithm.git
...and then install the necessary modules with npm from within the project's root directory:
npm install
You will need to do this if you want to look at the example.
This encompasses a basic implementation of the algorithm. If you have cloned the repository, it can be run with the following command:
node ./bin/example.js
Once the server is running, launch a browser and the client will be available at http://localhost:8888
.
const concur = require('concur-algorithm'), ///
{ generateOperations, transformContent } = concur;
Not all the functionality required to implement the algorithm is exported by the package. If you want to implement the algorithm the only place to start is the example.
Automation is done with npm scripts, have a look at the package.json
file. The pertinent commands are:
npm run build-debug
npm run watch-debug
This can be done from the root of the repository:
./node_modules/.bin/mocha --recursive -R spec ./test
