Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.
Chokepoint is a powerful Node.js package designed to streamline HTTP/HTTPS load balancing in your applications. It distributes incoming traffic across multiple nodes using Round Robin algorithm, ensuring optimal resource utilization and enhanced performance.
import Chokepoint from "chokepoint";
const nodes = [
{ host: "localhost", port: 8001 },
{ host: "localhost", port: 8002 },
{ host: "localhost", port: 8003 },
];
const chokepoint = new Chokepoint(nodes);
chokepoint.listen(80, () => {
console.log("Load balancer is running");
});
import Chokepoint from "chokepoint";
const nodes = [
{ host: "localhost", port: 8001 },
{ host: "localhost", port: 8002 },
{ host: "localhost", port: 8003 },
];
const chokepoint = new Chokepoint(nodes);
// Configure SSL certificate before listen
chokepoint.secure({
key: fs.readFileSync("./ssl-key.pem"),
cert: fs.readFileSync("./ssl-cert.pem"),
});
chokepoint.listen(443, () => {
console.log("Secure load balancer is running");
});
import Chokepoint from "chokepoint";
const nodes = [
{ host: "localhost", port: 8001 },
{ host: "localhost", port: 8002 },
{ host: "localhost", port: 8003 },
];
const chokepoint = new Chokepoint(nodes);
// Enable CORS for your request origins before listen
chokepoint.cors(["https://example.com"]);
chokepoint.listen(80, () => {
console.log("Load balancer is running");
});
