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.
Cootie is a tool for easily running a VPS with multiple Node servers. In a normal environment, adding a new project involves many steps: cloning the project, writing nginx configuration, setting up a daemonizer, etc. To top it off, your VPS probably didn't come pre-loaded with nginx, so you had to go through multiple install processes to get the environment set up.
Cootie allows you to manage all of your applications centrally:
cd /opt
git clone git@github.com:mattbasta/mygreatwebsite.git
# cootie add [path to server] [port] [hostname[ hostname [...]]]
cootie add /opt/mygreatwebsite/app.js 8001 greatsite.biz
# If you've never run Cootie before
forever start cootie
# If you already have Cootie set up
forever restartall
