Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Detecting Typosquatting Packages in npm and PyPI ## When to Use - Auditing project dependencies to identify packages whose names are suspiciously similar to popular libraries - Proactively scanning package registries for newly published packages that may be typosquats of your organization's packages - Investigating a suspected supply chain compromise where a developer installed a misspelled package name - Building automated monitoring that alerts when new packages appear with names close to critical dependencies - Assessing the risk profile of unfamiliar packages before adding them to a project's dependency tree **Do not use** as the sole determination of malicious intent; name similarity alone does not prove a package is malicious. Do not use for bulk automated takedown requests without manual review of flagged packages. Do not use against private registries without authorization. ## Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ with `requests` and `python-Levenshtein` (or `rapidfuzz`) packages installed - Network access to `https://pypi.org/pypi/<package>/json` (PyPI JSON API) and `https://registry.npmjs.org/<package>` (npm registry API) …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/detecting-typosquatting-packages-in-npm-pypi@sha256:b3d46c0184c4a099The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
