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.
Node.js module for a Raspberry Pi to talk to an SL030 RFID reader
Because of how the library accesses the i2c bus, it needs to be run as root. The default baud rate used to talk to the i2c bus also seems to produce unreliable results with the SL030 hardware. If you're seeing the "Check modprobe baud rate" message then you should run the following commands before using this module:
sudo modprobe -r i2c-bcm2708
sudo modprobe i2c-bcm2708 baudrate=200000
