Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.
pybaseconv is a library that allows you to convert any large number (no fractions) from any base to any other base, thus freedom to choose source and/or destination bases.
There are 5 predefined bases that are supported by pybaseconv, which are:
DEC
: the decimal base "0123456789"
.BIN
: the binary base "01"
.OCT
: the octal base "01234567"
.HEX
: the hexadecimal base "0123456789abcdef"
.FLICKER_BASE_58
& BITCOIN_BASE_58
: two variations of the Base58 encoding, more info here.from pybaseconv import Converter, BASE
dec2hex_converter = Converter(BASE.DEC, BASE.HEX)
print(dec2hex_converter.convert('738653')) # returns b455d
dec2bitcoin_converter = Converter(BASE.DEC, BASE.BITCOIN_BASE_58)
print(dec2bitcoin_converter.convert('292251')) # returns 2Vsp
dec2custom_base_converter = Converter(BASE.DEC, '*&@#$')
print(dec2custom_base_converter.convert('539')) # returns $&@$
bin2dec_converter = Converter(BASE.BIN, BASE.DEC)
print(bin2dec_converter.convert('11112')) # raises exception because 11112 is not a binary number
PS: when using custom bases, make sure that the digits are sorted from smallest to the largest, in order to get the appropriate conversion.
