Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
Given an ArrayBuffer
, will create string output similar to the unix hexdump
command.
For example, the text of "Hello, World!\n" looks something like this:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
0000000 48 65 6c 6c 6f 2c 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21 0a
000000e
So far it just does one thing: print an ArrayBuffer in hex, with a header:
var hexdump = require('hexdump.js').hexdump;
var str = hexdump(new Uint8Array([ 0, 1, 2, 127, 254, 255 ]));
console.log(str);
console.log(window.hexdump(new Uint8Array([ 0, 1, 2, 127, 254, 255 ])));

hexdump(arrayBuffer, byteOffset, byteLength);
FAQs
Like hexdump on *nix, but in JavaScript.
We found that hexdump.js demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 3 open source maintainers collaborating on the project.
