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.
This provides a simple, DynamoDB-backed key value store suitable for use in AWS environments.
gem install dkv
Once installed, we assume a working AWS-environment based setup (at a min, access key id, secret key and region) and work as is.
With that in place,:
dkv init [table-name]
: Creates a new table with the specified table name.dkv set [table-name] [key] [value]
: Set key in the given table to value.dkv get [table-name] [key]
: Get the value with the given key, exit with status 1 if not found.dkv clear [table-name] [key]
: Remove the given key (and it's attached value).We use (and provision) a dynamodb table with 1 read unit and 1 write unit, and with a single hash key on DataKey
.
All values are stored in DataValue
and we do very simple operations.
