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.
This library converts passwords into the LAN Manager (LM) and NT Hashes used by SMB/CIFS servers. It was written to populate the sambaLMPassword and sambaNTPassword values in an LDAP directory for use with Samba.
npm install smbhash
var lmhash = require('smbhash').lmhash;
var nthash = require('smbhash').nthash;
var pass = 'pass123';
console.log('LM Hash: ' + lmhash(pass));
console.log('NT Hash: ' + nthash(pass));
This produces output:
LM Hash: 4FB7D301186E0EB3AAD3B435B51404EE
NT Hash: 5FBC3D5FEC8206A30F4B6C473D68AE76
