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.
github.com/isobit/ws-tcp-relay
An extremely simple relay between WebSocket clients and TCP servers. Data
received from WebSocket clients is simply forwarded to the specified TCP
server, and vice-versa. In other words, it's
websocketd, but for TCP connections
instead of STDIN
and STDOUT
.
Usage: ws-tcp-relay <tcpTargetAddress>
-b Use binary frames instead of text frames
-binary
Use binary frames instead of text frames
-p uint
The port to listen on (default 4223)
-port uint
The port to listen on (default 4223)
-tlscert string
TLS cert file path
-tlskey string
TLS key file path
By default, golang.org/x/net/websocket
uses text frames to deliver payload
data. To use binary frames instead, use either the b
or binary
flags.
To use secure WebSockets simply specify both the tlscert
and tlskey
flags.
go get -u github.com/isobit/ws-tcp-relay
Binaries are also available on the release page.
