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.
Finally, Python bindings for the Panda. These will increase your productivity by 1000%, guaranteed1!
To get started, check out the tutorial paper, Jupyter notebooks and other examples you can run directly on your robot. For more details on the API, please refer to the documentation.

pip install panda-python
This will install panda-py and all its requirements. The pip version ships with libfranka 0.9.2, the newest version for the Franka Emika Robot. Please refer to the section below if you use an older system version or the more recent Franka Research 3 robot.
There are currently two robot models available from Franka Emika: the Franka Emika Robot (FER, formerly known as Panda) and the Franka Research 3 (FR3). Depending on the installed firmware, the FER supports version <0.10 while the FR3 requires version >=0.10. For details, refer to this compatibility matrix. If you need a libfranka version different from the default 0.9.2, download the respective zip archive from the release page. Extract the archive and install the wheel for your Python version with pip, e.g., run
pip install panda_python-*libfranka.0.7.1-cp310*.whl
to install the binary wheel for libfranka 0.7.1 and Python 3.10.
If you use panda-py in published research, please consider citing the original software paper.
