PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
This library implements the WebSocket protocol based on the Sans-IO library wsproto. I/O is handled by the anyio project which makes this library compatible to asyncio, trio and curio.
This library requires Python 3.5+. You can install it directly from PyPI:
python3 -m pip install -U anysocks
If you want the cutting edge development version instead, install it directly from GitHub:
python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/clamor-py/anysocks@master#egg=anysocks
This README only provides a short overview, see the full documentation here.
import anyio
from anysocks import open_connection
async def main():
async with open_connection('wss://echo.websocket.org') as con:
print('Connection established!')
# First, let's send some text to the server.
text = input('What to send? ')
await con.send_message(text)
# Now, we receive and verify the server's response.
message = await con.get_message()
assert message == text, "Received {}, expected {}".format(message, text)
print('Connection closed with code {}', con.close_code.value)
anyio.run(main)
