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.
VFB_connect is a Python lib that wraps data/knowledgeBase query endpoints and returns DataFrame tables.
Available on PyPi:
pip install vfb_connect
# VFB connect object wraps connections and queries to public VFB servers.
from vfb_connect import vfb
# Get TermInfo for Types/Classes, DataSets and anatomical individuals.
vfb.term('FBbt_00003686')
vfb.terms(['Ito02013'])
vfb.terms(['VFB_00010001'])
# Get all terms relevant to a brain region (all parts and all overlapping cells. You can query by label, symbol, synonym, id or xref.
vfb.get_terms_by_region('fan-shaped body')
TermInfo returns a pandas DataFrame by default but can also return a dict summary or full VFBTerms.
