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.
= Description A library for playing and controlling sounds on MS Windows.
= Prerequisites
= Installation gem install win32-sound
= Synopsis require 'win32/sound' include Win32
Sound.play("somefile.wav")
Sound.play("SystemAsterisk",Sound::ALIAS)
p Sound.volume.join(", ") # left channel, right channel
= Acknowledgements API ideas derived (or not) from Perl's Win32::Sound module and Python's winsound package.
= Known Bugs None that I'm aware of. Please report any bugs on the project page at https://github.com/djberg96/win32-sound.
= Future Plans Add ability to retrieve information about WAV files. Add MIDI support?
= Developer's Notes The MessageBeep() function, which the Python "winsound" module contains, is intentionally omitted here. I felt it was redundant, because you can achieve the same effect with something like this:
Sound.play("SystemAsterisk", Sound::ALIAS).
= License Artistic 2.0
= Copyright (C) 2004-2017, Daniel J. Berger, All Rights Reserved
= Warranty This package is provided "as is" and without any express or implied warranties, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
