legitimate_crypto_utility
NPS-18D171915ECA
This is the noble-hashes utility module. All functions (hex/byte conversion, byte swapping, randomBytes) are standard cryptographic helpers. randomBytes uses crypto.getRandomValues or node crypto.randomBytes, not exfiltration. No network, filesystem, process spawning, eval, or dynamic import abuse present.
