Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.

HTTP on top of libp2p
Package p2phttp
allows to serve HTTP endpoints and make HTTP requests through libp2p using Go's standard "http" and "net" stack.
Instead of the regular "host:port" addressing, p2phttp
uses a Peer ID and lets libp2p take care of the routing, thus taking advantage of features like multi-routes, NAT transversal and stream multiplexing over a single connection.
This package is a library that uses Go modules for dependency management.
Full documentation can be read at Godoc. The important bits follow.
A simple http.Server
on libp2p works as:
listener, _ := gostream.Listen(host1, p2phttp.DefaultP2PProtocol)
defer listener.Close()
go func() {
http.HandleFunc("/hello", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Hi!"))
})
server := &http.Server{}
server.Serve(listener)
}
The listener is provided by https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-gostream .
A client just needs to be initialized with a custom libp2p host-based transport to perform requests to such server:
tr := &http.Transport{}
tr.RegisterProtocol("libp2p", p2phttp.NewTransport(clientHost))
client := &http.Client{Transport: tr}
res, err := client.Get("libp2p://Qmaoi4isbcTbFfohQyn28EiYM5CDWQx9QRCjDh3CTeiY7P/hello")
