Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
# is_bot
is_bot is a clean rewrite of less_reverse_captcha
It is a simple way to make your forms bot-proof. The effectiveness of the solution is open to discussion. I have used it on a low traffic site and it seems to have reduced the bot-attack considerably.
## Usage
It is very simple to use. Just install it in your rails app and perform the following steps.
In your model class:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
validate_captcha
end
In your model's view:
form_for @user do |f|
captcha_reverse_field :user
end
And that's it.
Use version 1.0.0
Use version 2.0.0
The project uses semantic versioning.
