PackageDNA

PackageDNA

This tool gives developers, researchers, and companies the ability to analyze software packages of different programming languages that are being or will be used in their codes, providing information that allows them to know in advance if this library complies with processes. secure development, if currently supported, possible backdoors (malicious embedded code), typosquatting analysis, the history of versions, and reported vulnerabilities (CVEs) of the package.

Install

Requirement

PackageDNA uses python-magic which is a simple wrapper around the libmagic C library, and that MUST be installed as well:

  • Debian/Ubuntu
    $ sudo apt-get install libmagic1
  • Windows
    You will need DLLs for libmagic. @julian-r has uploaded a version of this project that includes binaries
    to PyPI
    Other sources of the libraries in the past have been File for Windows.
    You will need to copy the file magic out of [binary-zip]\share\misc, and pass its location to Magic(magic_file=…).If you are using a 64-bit build of python, you will need 64-bit libmagic binaries which can be found here. Newer version can be found here.
  • OSX
    When using Homebrew: brew install libmagic
    When using macports: port install file

More details: https://pypi.org/project/python-magic/

External Modules

PackageDNA uses external modules for its analysis that you should install previously:

Microsoft AppInpsector

https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInspector

Virus Total API

https://www.virustotal.com/

LibrariesIO API

https://libraries.io/

Rubocop

https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop

After installation, you should configure the external modules, in the option [7] Configuration of the main menu.

[1] VirusTotal API Key: Your API KEY
[2] AppInspector absolute path: /Local/Path/MSAppInpsectorInstallation
[3] Libraries.io API Key: Your API KEY
[4] Github Token: Your Token
[B] Back
[X] Exit

NOTE: External modules are not mandatory. PackageDNA will continue its execution, however, we recommend making all the configurations of these modules so that the tool performs a complete analysis
