Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
var timer = require('contimer'),
connect = require('connect');
connect(
function (req, res, next) {
timer.start(req, 'total');
next();
},
function (req, res, next) {
var time = timer.stop(req, 'total').time;
res.end('Response processing time: ' + time + 'ms');
}
).listen(8080);
hook(handler) → {Object}
{Function} handler
— callback with signature function(id, time)
.Setups the handler
as the callback for the stop()
method.
start(context, label) → {Function}
{Object} context
— Object, which will be used as context;{String} label
— Timed identifier, must be unique in the context.Creates new timer in the context
.
Be aware, that
start()
creates non-enumerable property__sw_timers
in thecontext
object to store timestamps.
Method returns function, which can be used to stop created timer without
passing any arguments to it. Or you can call the stop()
method with the
same arguments to stop timer.
stop(context, label) → {{ label: String, time: Number }}
FAQs
