Explore how analyzing runtime behaviors using Dynamic Analysis data helps uncover abnormal activities in open source packages. By examining network connections and unusual binary executions during package installation, we identify potential malicious actors and packages.
Introducing Package Manager Guard (PMG), a new tool to protect developers from malicious packages at the time of installation. Seamless integration with popular package managers like npm, pnpm etc.
Exploring the idea of building a complementary system that can verify and correlate static analysis findings. Thats where dynamic analysis comes in ie. the ability to "run" an open source package in an observed environment and determine its safety status based on real behavior at runtime
