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.
status is a cross-platform command line application that returns the HTTP response status code for a GET or POST request to a user submitted URL.
It has been tested in cPython 2.7.x, 3.4.x and pypy 2.4.0 (Python v2.7.8)
You can install status with the Python package manager pip::
pip install status
or download the source repository and run the following command in the top level source directory::
python setup.py install
You can upgrade status with pip. Use the following command::
pip install --upgrade status
or download the source repository and use the above instructions for a new install from source.
status will report the returned status code with a GET or POST request. The general syntax is::
status [option] <url>
It is not necessary to include the protocol (http://) in your URL. If you enter a URL without the protocol, status will prefix it with http://. If you intend to test with the secure HTTP protocol (https://), then make this explicit in your URL.
GET is the default request type. Enter the URL as an argument to status without an option::
status <url>
To use a POST request, add the -p
or --post
option::
status -p <url>
