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.
An exponential weighted moving average for Node.js and the browser!
npm install -g ewma
Compute the exponential weighted moving average of a series of values. The
time at which you insert the value into Ewma
is used to compute a weight
(recent points are weighted higher). The parameter for defining the
convergence speed (like most decay process) is the half-life.
e.g. with a half-life of 10 unit, if you insert 100 at t=0 and 200 at t=10 the ewma will be equal to (200 - 100)/2 = 150 (half of the distance between the new and the old value).
var ewma = new EWMA(halfLifeMs, initialValue, clock)

- Optional {Number}
clock object used to read time, must support
Date.now()
style method. Defaults to Date
.returns an object computing the ewma average
ewma.insert(x)
x
- The next value, ewma
will automatically compute the EWMA based on the
clock difference between this value and the last time insert
was
calledewma.reset(x)
x
- Set the EWMA to exactly x
.ewma.value()
Returns the current EWMA value.
These are generated using a 500ms interval with a half life indicated in the key. For the source code, or to reproduce yourself, check the Example directory.
