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.
Errsole is an innovative open-source logger designed specifically for Node.js applications. It goes beyond traditional logging by capturing log messages and storing them in a specified database. What sets Errsole apart is its interactive web dashboard, which allows users to effortlessly view, filter, and analyze their logs in real time.
Installation: Begin by installing Errsole and its MongoDB adapter through npm:
npm install errsole errsole-mongodb
Configuration: Initialize Errsole in your application with MongoDB as the storage option:
const errsole = require('errsole');
const ErrsoleMongoDB = require('errsole-mongodb');
errsole.initialize({
storage: new ErrsoleMongoDB('your-mongodb-url', 'your-database-name'),
port: 8001, // Optional: Specify the dashboard port (default is 8001)
path: '/' // Optional: Specify the dashboard base path (default is '/')
});
'your-mongodb-url'
with your actual MongoDB connection URL.'your-database-name'
with the name of the database where logs should be stored.Integrate Errsole into a simple Express app to see it in action:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// Errsole setup (as shown above)
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World');
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000'));
Once Errsole is integrated and your application is running, access the Errsole dashboard through your web browser:
http://localhost:8001/
If you specified a custom port or path during initialization, adjust the URL accordingly.
