Malicious fezbox npm Package Steals Browser Passwords from Cookies via Innovative QR Code Steganographic Technique
A malicious package uses a QR code as steganography in an innovative technique.
This library aims to provide an easy way to create, update and manipulate messages from Aleph.im.
It mainly consists in pydantic models that provide field type validation and IDE autocompletion for messages.
This library provides:
item_hash
matches the content of the message.The item_hash
is commonly used as unique message identifier on Aleph.im.
Cryptographic signatures are out of scope of this library and part of the aleph-sdk-python
project, due to their extended scope and dependency on cryptographic libraries.
This library is used in both client and node software of Aleph.im.
pip install aleph-message
import requests
from aleph_message import parse_message
from pydantic import ValidationError
ALEPH_API_SERVER = "https://official.aleph.cloud"
MESSAGE_ITEM_HASH = "9b21eb870d01bf64d23e1d4475e342c8f958fcd544adc37db07d8281da070b00"
message_dict = requests.get(ALEPH_API_SERVER + "/api/v0/messages.json?hashes=" + MESSAGE_ITEM_HASH).json()
try:
message = parse_message(message_dict["messages"][0])
print(message.sender)
except ValidationError as e:
print(e.json(indent=4))
