vlt Launches "reproduce": A New Tool Challenging the Limits of Package Provenance
vlt's new "reproduce" tool verifies npm packages against their source code, outperforming traditional provenance adoption in the JavaScript ecosystem.
A simple tool for temporarily configuring a SOCKS proxy over an SSH dynamic forwarding connection.
To install:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install ssh-proxy
Run the SSH proxy with:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sshproxy hostname
where the hostname is a valid hostname provided to the SSH command line, e.g.
user@domain.com
, 100.10.100.10
. If you need to configure SSH keys etc.,
it is recommended to do so using your ~/.ssh/config
file, e.g.::
Host myhost
HostName myhost.com
User myuser
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myhost
networksetup
requires enhanced permissions to run. To avoid entering your
password in a dialog several times, run with --sudo
to run networksetup
as root:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sshproxy myhost --sudo
For other command line options, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sshproxy --help
The source is hosted in GitHub at https://github.com/acroz/ssh-proxy.git. At
present the code assumes that no password needs to be entered and that the user
is on a Mac and therefore has networksetup
available. Improvements,
including ridding the code of these assumptions, are welcome via pull request.
