Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Detox is an end-to-end testing and automation framework for mobile applications. It is designed to test mobile apps on both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring that the app works as expected from the user's perspective. Detox is known for its ability to handle asynchronous operations and its integration with popular mobile development frameworks like React Native.
End-to-End Testing
This code demonstrates a basic end-to-end test using Detox. It launches the app, checks for the visibility of a welcome screen, taps a button, and verifies that a 'Hello' screen is displayed.
const { device, expect, element, by } = require('detox');
beforeAll(async () => {
await device.launchApp();
});
describe('Example', () => {
it('should have welcome screen', async () => {
await expect(element(by.id('welcome'))).toBeVisible();
});
it('should show hello screen after tap', async () => {
await element(by.id('hello_button')).tap();
await expect(element(by.text('Hello!!!'))).toBeVisible();
});
});
Device Interaction
This code sample shows how to interact with the device using Detox. It includes actions like rotating the device to landscape mode and shaking the device.
const { device } = require('detox');
beforeAll(async () => {
await device.launchApp();
});
describe('Device Interaction', () => {
it('should rotate the device to landscape', async () => {
await device.setOrientation('landscape');
});
it('should shake the device', async () => {
await device.shake();
});
});
Synchronization
This code demonstrates Detox's synchronization capabilities. It waits for a specific element to become visible within a given timeout period.
const { device, element, by } = require('detox');
beforeAll(async () => {
await device.launchApp();
});
describe('Synchronization', () => {
it('should wait for element to be visible', async () => {
await waitFor(element(by.id('uniqueId'))).toBeVisible().withTimeout(2000);
});
});
Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms. Unlike Detox, which is specifically designed for React Native and mobile apps, Appium supports a broader range of applications and programming languages.
Cypress is a JavaScript end-to-end testing framework primarily designed for web applications. While it does not natively support mobile app testing like Detox, it is known for its ease of use and powerful features for web testing.
WebdriverIO is a popular testing framework that allows you to run tests based on the WebDriver protocol and Appium. It supports both web and mobile applications, making it more versatile compared to Detox, which is focused on mobile apps.
