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.
This is Python a port of barby library written in Ruby. I couldn't find lightweight Python barcode generation library of the same caliber as barby (elaphe is broken and others don't support GS1-128 and QRCode at the same time, so I ported barby).
API is basicly the same as of barby, but in Python style.
The port is very quick and not complete at the moment (I ported only parts I really need for my project), I will port the rest eventually.
Also the port is quite direct, in a sense there are a lot of places in Python
code which have more Rubyish flavour instead of Pythonian (e.g. a lot of
@property
decorators to call methods without parenthesis). I did it to avoid
logic errors during porting process, I will make code more Pythonian in the
future.
