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.
editorconfig_generator
Advanced tools
A command line ruby script that allows you to generate .editorconfig files quickly and easily using presets or custom options.
The source code for the script is located in the lib directory.
~/.editor-config, e.g. git clone https://github.com/muyiwaolu/editorconfig-generator ~/.editorconfig-generatorNote: Before the next steps, please make sure you read and understand what install.sh is doing. I've written this script, and will be the first to admit I am not a shell script expert.
On that note, I will happily accept pull requests to improve it.
cd into the ~/.editor-config directory and run install.sh. You may want to run chmod +x install.sh first if the command line complains about incorrect permissions.
Link the appropriate files by running ./install.sh
If you run generator, you should see the following prompt:
Generates a .editorconfig file with settings of your choosing.
Usage: editorconfig generate
-g, --generate Generate an editorconfig file.
Make sure to put in the correct file matching pattern. For example, to match all files with the .js extension, enter *.js. More information here.
Since the files are symbolically linked to your /usr/local/bin folder, to upgrade to the latest version, simply cd into ~/.editor-config and git pull.
