Turtles, Clams, and Cyber Threat Actors: Shell Usage
The Socket Threat Research Team uncovers how threat actors weaponize shell techniques across npm, PyPI, and Go ecosystems to maintain persistence and exfiltrate data.
Based on the ngx-electron
package this wraps the fs node API for Angular applications which are running inside an electron app
ngx-fs
can be installed easily using either yarn
or npm
commands in the scope of an angular project.
$ yarn add ngx-fs --save
# or
$ npm install ngx-fs --save
ngx-fs
is exposing a module called NgxFsModule
which needs to be imported in your AppModule
.
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {NgxFsModule} from 'ngx-fs';
import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
NgxFsModule
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
Once the module has been imported, you can easily use angular DI to ask for FsService
.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {FsService} from 'ngx-fs';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private _fsService: FsService) { }
}
