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.
Motorola SREC library for nodejs
var data = readSrecFile(filename)
reads a srec file and calls back with dictionary:
{
recs: {
'134217728': [
0, 64, 0, 32, 249, 90,
0, 8, 113, 91, 0, 8,
113, 91, 0, 8
],
},
min: 134217728,
max: 134248328,
boot: 134217728,
info: 'a.srec'
};
min and max are the address range of the source, info is the decoded string from 0-record.
blks = blockify(data, data.min, data.max, blen)
Builds blocks of blen size from a data read with readSrecFile.
Flashing devices is usually done with fixed sized blocks padded with 0xff:
'2047': [
255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 65, 9, 4, 3, 0, 9,
0, 0, 0, 32, 0, 32, 0, 2, 20, 112, 103, 109,
50, 51, 201, 20, 85, 211, 140, 140, 17, 204, 140, 76,
177, 70, 86, 214, 246, 70, 200, 149, 217, 5, 33, 56,
50, 51, 55, 52, 56, 50, 51, 7, 150, 204, 12, 141,
205, 13, 13, 53
