Malicious fezbox npm Package Steals Browser Passwords from Cookies via Innovative QR Code Steganographic Technique
A malicious package uses a QR code as steganography in an innovative technique.
Given an integer, deterministically computes a psuedorandom unsigned 32 bit integer. Based on Thomas Wang's 7-shift integer hash algorithm. For more discussion and experiments, see the following references:
npm install hash-int
var hashInt = require("hash-int")
for(var i=-10; i<=10; ++i) {
console.log(hashInt(i))
}
require("hash-int")(x)
Given an integer x
as a seed, computes a psuedorandom integer.
x
the seed valueReturns: A signed 32 bit integer representing the value of x
