npm Malware Targets Telegram Bot Developers with Persistent SSH Backdoors
Malicious npm packages posing as Telegram bot libraries install SSH backdoors and exfiltrate data from Linux developer machines.
Automatically make awesome names that will also not collide too much.
Interface is simple. Create the object BoopyBoop (it will convert mongoids by default, but you can use any old number), and then pop out the human-friendly names with BoopyBoop.id_to_string(words, settings)
By "not collide too much", I mean "someone can probably figure it out, depending on how many of the words you use and how strong, etc your hash or whatever is in the first place". This is not really an encryption anything, really. If you can't deal with 17 or whatever words, then cut them down to 4, bearing in mind the risk of an easier attack. This should really be used for things that don't matter.
FAQs
