Popular Go Decimal Library Targeted by Long-Running Typosquat with DNS Backdoor
A long-running Go typosquat impersonated the popular shopspring/decimal library and used DNS TXT records to execute commands.
MsgExt is a base class for msgpack's ext formats.
import {MsgExt} from "msg-ext";
import {msgToBuffer} from "msg-interface";
class MsgExtDate extends MsgExt {
static from(date) {
const payload = Buffer.alloc(8);
payload.writeDoubleBE(+date, 0);
return new MsgExtDate(payload);
}
toDate() {
return new Date(this.buffer.readDoubleBE(0));
}
}
MsgExtDate.prototype.type = 0x0D;
const now = Date.UTC(2018, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5);
const msg = MsgExtDate.from(now);
const buffer = msgToBuffer(msg); // => <Buffer d7 01 42 76 15 28 a3 60 80 00>
const dt = msg.toDate(); // => 2018-01-02T03:04:05.000Z
var MsgExt = require("msg-ext").MsgExt;
var msgToBuffer = require("msg-interface").msgToBuffer;
function MsgExtDate(payload) {
MsgExt.call(this, payload);
}
MsgExtDate.from = function(date) {
var payload = Buffer.alloc(8);
payload.writeDoubleBE(+date, 0);
return new MsgExtDate(payload);
};
MsgExtDate.prototype = Object.create(MsgExt.prototype);
MsgExtDate.prototype.type = 0x0D;
MsgExtDate.prototype.toDate = function() {
return new Date(this.buffer.readDoubleBE(0));
};
var now = Date.UTC(2018, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5);
var msg = MsgExtDate.from(now);
var buffer = msgToBuffer(msg); // => <Buffer d7 01 42 76 15 28 a3 60 80 00>
var dt = msg.toDate(); // => 2018-01-02T03:04:05.000Z
