npm Malware Targets Telegram Bot Developers with Persistent SSH Backdoors
Malicious npm packages posing as Telegram bot libraries install SSH backdoors and exfiltrate data from Linux developer machines.
User-agent parsing library inspired by the https://faisalman.github.io/ua-parser-js/ project.
It is essentially an adaptation of ua-parser-js
in python.
Unlike other UA-parsing libraries, this library detect MacOS as Mac OS
, not Mac OS X
, and the browser
, engine
, and os
versions are already joined into a one string, which is convenient for use.
pip install ua-parse
The library exports just one function that returns all the parameters at once.
Parse user-agent:
from ua_parse import parse_ua
safari_user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.2 Safari/605.1.15'
result = parse_ua(safari_user_agent)
assert result == {
'browser': {'name': 'Safari', 'version': '15.2'},
'cpu': {'architecture': None},
'device': {'model': None, 'type': None, 'vendor': None},
'engine': {'name': 'WebKit', 'version': '605.1.15'},
'os': {'name': 'Mac OS', 'version': '10.15.7'},
}
ie_user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv 11.0) like Gecko'
result_2 = parse_ua(ie_user_agent)
assert result_2 == {
'browser': {'name': 'IE', 'version': '11.0'},
'cpu': {'architecture': None},
'device': {'model': None, 'type': None, 'vendor': None},
'engine': {'name': 'Trident', 'version': '7.0'},
'os': {'name': 'Windows', 'version': '8.1'},
}
empty_user_agent = ''
result_3 = parse_ua(empty_user_agent)
assert result_3 == {
'browser': {'name': None, 'version': None},
'cpu': {'architecture': None},
'device': {'model': None, 'type': None, 'vendor': None},
'engine': {'name': None, 'version': None},
'os': {'name': None, 'version': None},
}
