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.
Command line tool and library wrappers around iwlist and /etc/network/interfaces.
Wifi provides a command line wrapper for iwlist and /etc/network/interfaces that makes it easier to connect the WiFi networks from the command line. The wifi command is also implemented as a library that can be used from Python.
This fork takes care of the "ap-force" option when running iw. Also, the binary is not /sbin/iwlist anymore, but iw directly (/usr/sbin/iw), therefore the command is a bit different.
It's a drop-in replacement of the original package.
pip install wifi-ap-force
wifi --help
The original documentation for wifi lives at https://wifi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.
