Nx npm Packages Compromised in Supply Chain Attack Weaponizing AI CLI Tools
Malicious Nx npm versions stole secrets and wallet info using AI CLI tools; Socket’s AI scanner detected the supply chain attack and flagged the malware.
Cryptozoologist generates random strings from animal, clothing item, and color pairings, as well as lorem ipsum style sentences.
You could get something like "orange-clownfish-turtleneck" or "magenta-three-toed-sloth-shoe-horn". It's fun and silly, because why not? The gem can be configured to use a custom delimiter, exclude dictionaries, or add in speciality dictionaries.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'cryptozoologist'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install cryptozoologist
In addition to the brief overview provided here, you can read more about each method, configuration, and general usage in the Docs section of this repo.
