10 npm Typosquatted Packages Deploy Multi-Stage Credential Harvester
Socket researchers found 10 typosquatted npm packages that auto-run on install, show fake CAPTCHAs, fingerprint by IP, and deploy a credential stealer.
A Python module (xtt) that encapsulates the XTT Trusted
Transit protocol for securing Internet
of Things (IoT) devices.
pip install xtt
The package is published to PyPI for Python 2.7 and 3.3+ for Linux and
OS X. pip installs all dependencies, including xtt itself.
import socket
import xtt
# In these examples, we assume the id, certs, and keys needed to run
# an XTT client handshake are available as files.
# Load root certificate, used to authenticate the server
root_id = xtt.CertificateRootId.from_file("root_id.bin")
root_pubkey = xtt.ED25519PublicKey.from_file("root_pub.bin")
# Load the server id
server_id = xtt.Identity.from_file("server_id.bin")
# Load the DAA group information
group_basename = b'BASENAME'
group_gpk = xtt.LRSWGroupPublicKey.from_file("daa_gpk.bin")
group_id = xtt.GroupId(hashlib.sha256(group_gpk.data).digest())
group_cred = xtt.LRSWCredential.from_file("daa_cred.bin")
group_secretkey = xtt.LRSWPrivateKey.from_file("daa_secretkey.bin")
group_ctx = xtt.ClientLRSWGroupContext(group_id, group_secretkey,
group_cred, group_basename)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0)
sock.connect(('192.0.2.1', 4443))
xtt_sock = xtt.XTTClientSocket(sock,
version = xtt.Version.ONE,
suite_spec = xtt.SuiteSpec.XTT_X25519_LRSW_ED25519_CHACHA20POLY1305_SHA512,
group_ctx, server_id, root_id, root_pubkey)
xtt_sock.start()
my_identity = xtt_sock.identity
my_public_key = xtt_sock.longterm_public_key
my_private_key = xtt_sock.longterm_private_key
