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 package provides bindings to the generic input event interface in Linux.
The evdev interface serves the purpose of passing events generated in the
kernel directly to userspace through character devices that are typically
located in /dev/input/
.
This package also comes with bindings to uinput, the userspace input subsystem. Uinput allows userspace programs to create and handle input devices that can inject events directly into the input subsystem.
