Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
The only Keccak hash (aka SHA3 before standardisation) library you need in Javascript. Ever. Pinky promise!
It is a meta package and lets you to use node-sha3
or js-sha3
with the same interface on your choice of deployment. It uses browserify-sha3
to do the mapping for you.
There's no speed loss, it is as thin as it can get (but there is some twiddling in package.json
to select the right package for your environment):
module.exports = require('sha3').SHA3Hash
Example usage:
const keccak = require('keccakjs')
var hash = new keccak() // uses 512 bits by default
hash.update('hello')
hash.update(Buffer.from('42004200', 'hex'))
hash.digest() // binary output
hash.digest('hex') // hex output
NOTE: This library supports the Keccak padding only - and not the final SHA3 padding.
FAQs
Keccak hash (SHA3) in Node.js and in the browser. Fast & simple.
We found that keccakjs demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
