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.
Documentation: https://aiohappyeyeballs.readthedocs.io
Source Code: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohappyeyeballs
This library exists to allow connecting with Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) when you already have a list of addrinfo and not a DNS name.
The stdlib version of loop.create_connection()
will only work when you pass in an unresolved name which
is not a good fit when using DNS caching or resolving
names via another method such as zeroconf
.
Install this via pip (or your favourite package manager):
pip install aiohappyeyeballs

addr_infos = await loop.getaddrinfo("example.org", 80)
socket = await start_connection(addr_infos)
socket = await start_connection(addr_infos, local_addr_infos=local_addr_infos, happy_eyeballs_delay=0.2)
transport, protocol = await loop.create_connection(
MyProtocol, sock=socket, ...)
# Remove the first address for each family from addr_info
pop_addr_infos_interleave(addr_info, 1)
# Remove all matching address from addr_info
remove_addr_infos(addr_info, "dead::beef::")
# Convert a local_addr to local_addr_infos
local_addr_infos = addr_to_addr_infos(("127.0.0.1",0))
