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.
Made with program protection in mind.
I found Python Protector a couple months ago and have been using it! But recently, I have been encountering issues; the github hasn't been updated since June 7th (as of September 6th), so I decided to use their base, fix the issues, and hopefully update it more in the future!
Python 3.11 or higher is required
Install via PyPi:
py -3 -m pip install -U pythondefender
from pathlib import Path
from threading import Thread
from pydefender import PyDefender
Defender = PyDefender(
debug=True,
modules=[
"AntiProcess",
"AntiVM",
"Miscellaneous",
"AntiDLL",
"AntiAnalysis",
"AntiDump"],
logs_path=Path.home() / "AppData/Roaming/PyDefender/logs/[Security].log",
webhook_url="%INSERT_WEBHOOK_URL&",
on_detect=[
"Report",
"Exit",
"Screenshot"],
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
DefenderThread = Thread(
name = "PyDefender Security", target=Defender.start
)
DefenderThread.start()
