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.
Are you tired of
(irb):1:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object (NameError)
from /Users/nashby/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/irb-1.6.3/exe/irb:9:in `<top (required)>'
from /Users/nashby/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/bin/irb:25:in `load'
from /Users/nashby/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/bin/irb:25:in `<main>'
this nonsense, where ` and ' are used together for some ISO-8859-1 reason? Me either. Just add quotypie
to your Gemfile
gem 'quotypie'
and you won't see it again. What you'll see is:
(irb):1:in '<main>': undefined local variable or method 'foo' for main:Object (NameError)
from /Users/nashby/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/irb-1.6.3/exe/irb:9:in '<top (required)>'
from /Users/nashby/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/bin/irb:25:in 'load'
from /Users/nashby/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/bin/irb:25:in '<main>'
So you can copy-paste it and don't fear that it'll mess up your markdown or whatever you use.
Don't use it in production though. I guess. Or do, you're an adult.
P.S It's known issue https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16495. Let's hope it'll be fixed anytime soon.
