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.
Most of what kontainer
wants to do has already been implemented in much better libraries,
expression
,
result
,
and returns
.
But each of them had one thing that was missing, and it was hard to ask for a fix.
expression
: does not support python 3.8.result
: provides solid but simple functionality.returns
: does not supportpyright
.
In my environment, expression
was the best fit,
but dropping support for python 3.8 was the right decision,
so I couldn't ask for it.
(I don't want to use python 3.8 either,
but there are circumstances that make it unavoidable.)
So I created a new library with python 3.8 support, pulling in some features that seemed to be needed.
