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 a fairly simple visitor tracking application for Django, designed to make allowing tracking visitors as painless as possible. It requires a functional installation of Django 1.1 or newer, but has no other dependencies.
For installation instructions, see the file "INSTALL" in this directory;
0.1.7 - Fixed an issue with visitor_utils.get_visitor_from_request() that was causing an error with missing get_visitor()
0.1.6 - Fixed the pypi tar.gz, it was missing some files
0.1.5 - Added VISITOR_IGNORE_IP_LIST custom setting to help with issues behind a load balancer.
0.1.4 - Merged in changes from pydanny (cleanup and better docs)
0.1.3 - Added missing constant "REQUEST_LOG_ID" used by other applications.
0.1.2 - Added support for akamai's site accelerator, it puts the visitors origin IP in a custom header, so I needed to add a change to support this.
