Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Add sleep()
, msleep()
and usleep()
to Node.js, via a C++ binding.
This is mainly useful for debugging.
Note that because this is a C++ module, it will need to be built on the system you are going to use it on.
When using nodejs 9.3
or higher it's better to use Atomics.wait which doesn't require compiling this C++
module.
The sleep
and msleep
functions can be implemented like this:
function msleep(n) {
Atomics.wait(new Int32Array(new SharedArrayBuffer(4)), 0, 0, n);
}
function sleep(n) {
msleep(n*1000);
}
If you require usleep
this module is still required.
var sleep = require('sleep');
sleep.sleep(n)
: sleep for n
secondssleep.msleep(n)
: sleep for n
milisecondssleep.usleep(n)
: sleep for n
microseconds (1 second is 1000000 microseconds)FAQs
Add sleep() and usleep() to nodejs
We found that sleep demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
