Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.

Import a package based on your product:
# The ixnetwork_restpy package is the superset of all IxNetwork products

"""This script demonstrates how to get started with ixnetwork_restpy scripting.
The script demonstrates the following:
- connect to an IxNetwork test platform, authenticate, add a new session and clear the config
- create 1 tx port and 1 rx port
- create traffic from the tx port to the rx port
- start traffic
- print statistics
- stop traffic
