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 is a Redis wrapper to catch read failures so things don't fail when Redis is down. Run bin/console
to try it out in an interactive prompt.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'safe_redis'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install safe_redis
Simply create a new SafeRedis object and pass in an existing Redis connection:
safe_redis = SafeRedis.new(Redis.new(url: url))
Any time a read call to Redis fails, SafeRedis responds as if the key doesn't exist. If a write call fails, SafeRedis raises whatever error Redis raised.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/yahooguntu/safe_redis.
The gem is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
