Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
This is a simple library for producing public keys from corresponding private keys using Ed25519, but with Blake2b as the hashing algorithm. Note that this is not a full-featured Ed25519 hashing library at this time, but that could change in the future.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ed25519_blake2b'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ed25519_blake2b
Right now there is only one method available for use, that produces a public key from a private key. The private key is currently expected to be 64 bytes in length.
Ed25519Blake2b.public_key(private_key)
