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.
Deep nested data is sometimes difficult to map with objects in an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) appraoch. Suppose e.g. you're working with this file:
root:
System:
Library:
Frameworks:
Python.framework:
Versions:
2.7:
bin: python2.7
If you wanted the last value here using pure Python, you would have to write something like:
pure_python['root']['System']['Library']['Frameworks']['Python.framework']['Versions']['2.7']['bin']
Gosh that's bad, it doesn't even fit in the screen! This is where nob shines: it offers a simple set of tools to explore and edit any nested data (Python native dicts and lists). With nob, this becomes:
nob_object['bin'][:]
Pretty neat, no? For more, checkout nob's documentation.
pip install nob
Enough said :)
