At Node Congress, Socket CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh uncovers the darker aspects of open source, where applications that rely heavily on third-party dependencies can be exploited in supply chain attacks.

Readme
Includes SshClient
and SshServer
convenience classes for establishing SSH
sessions over TCP, and the PortForwardingService
class that enables forwarding
TCP ports between client and server.
// Port-forwarding is not enabled by default. It must be added to the session configuration
// on both client and server sides.
const config = new SshSessionConfiguration();
config.addService(PortForwardingService);
const client = new SshClient(config);
const session: SshClientSession = await client.openSession(host, port);
// Handle server and client authentication.
session.onAuthenticating((e) => { ... });
if (!(await session.authenticate(credentials))) {
throw new Error('Authentication failed.');
}
// Start port-forwarding.
const pfs = session.activateService(PortForwardingService);
const forwarder: RemotePortForwarder = await pfs.forwardFromRemotePort('::', remotePort);
// Connections to the port on the server will now be forwarded to
// the same port on the client.
forwarder.dispose();
// New connections to the server port are no longer forwarded.
// (Existing forwarded connections may remain alive until the session is closed.)
const session: SshClientSession = ...
const pfs = session.activateService(PortForwardingService);
const stream: SshStream = await pfs.streamToRemotePort('localhost', remotePort);
// The stream data is forwarded to/from the port on the server.
This package has limited capabilities when running in a browser. Obviously a browser
cannot access local TCP ports. However, it is possible to stream to/from
server ports. The streamFromRemotePort()
and streamToRemotePort()
methods are
validated working in a browser environment.
