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.
This package is dependent on the mist-api package, which currently is working with Linux x64, OSX x64 and Raspberry Pi, on nodejs v6, v8, v10. To get it working you also need to run a Wish Core on the same host.
If you ended up here by accident, you might not get this to work.
Download and install node.js
v.6.x. (tested on v6.9.2), v8.x or
v10.x.
The node version manager "nvm" works well for this purpose: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
Download and run wish-core (choose the desired target platform https://www.controlthings.fi/dev/).
wget https://www.controlthings.fi/dist/wish-core-v0.10.0-beta-5-x64-linux
chmod +x ./wish-core-v0.10.0-beta-5-x64-linux
./wish-core-v0.10.0-beta-5-x64-linux
wish-cli
npm install -g wish-cli
wish-cli
wish-cli
identity.create('John Andersson')
node --version #should return 6.x, 8.x or 10.x depending on what is your active node.js
npm install -g mist-cli
mist-cli
git clone https://github.com/ControlThings/mist-cli-nodejs.git
cd mist-cli-nodejs
