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.
Similar to sseclient and sseclient-py, a tiny package for supporting Server Side Events (SSE) with py3.9 asyncio and aiohttp.
Install it with this: pip3 install aiosseclient
Sample code (read more):
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aiosseclient import aiosseclient
async def main():
async for event in aiosseclient('https://stream.wikimedia.org/v2/stream/recentchange'):
print(event)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
