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.
In-memory two-phase locking for asynchronous JavaScript functions.
npm install 2pl
Multiple lock keys can be acquired during the lifetime of a lock instance, where release is done in one operation.
var lock = require('2pl')
var shared = {} // in-memory lock object shared across instances
var l = lock(shared, { ttl: 5000 }) // new instance, 5 seconds timeout
l.acquire('a', function (err) {
// a is locked
l.acquire('b', function (err) {
// b is locked
l.release(function (err) {
// a and b are released
})
})
})
Create a new instance with shared
object holding the in-memory locks.
Accepts following options:
ttl
: Time to live (milliseconds) of lock instance for liveness. Defaults to 20 seconds.Attempts to acquire a lock, given a string key
.
Accepts an optional callback function, invoked on success or error.
Attempts to extend ttl
of lock in milliseconds.
Accepts an optional callback function, invoked on success or error.
Attempts to release lock. Accepts an optional callback function, invoked on success or error.
Returns a factory function createLock([options])
that create instances under the same shared lock object.
var createLock = lock.creator({ ttl: 5000 })
var l1 = createLock() // ttl 5000
var l2 = createLock({ ttl: 500 }) // ttl 500
