Axios Maintainer Confirms Social Engineering Attack Behind npm Compromise
Axios compromise traced to social engineering, showing how attacks on maintainers can bypass controls and expose the broader software supply chain.
http-server-mock2
Advanced tools
http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.

Installation via npm:
npm install http-server-mock2 -g
This will install http-server globally so that it may be run from the command line.
http-server-mock [path] [options]
[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server
Note: Caching is on by default. Add -c-1 as an option to disable caching.
-p Port to use (defaults to 8080)
-a Address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
-d Show directory listings (defaults to true)
-i Display autoIndex (defaults to true)
-g or --gzip When enabled (defaults to false) it will serve ./public/some-file.js.gz in place of ./public/some-file.js when a gzipped version of the file exists and the request accepts gzip encoding.
-e or --ext Default file extension if none supplied (defaults to html)
-s or --silent Suppress log messages from output
--cors Enable CORS via the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header
-o Open browser window after starting the server
-c Set cache time (in seconds) for cache-control max-age header, e.g. -c10 for 10 seconds (defaults to 3600). To disable caching, use -c-1.
-U or --utc Use UTC time format in log messages.
-P or --proxy Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url. e.g.: -P http://someurl.com
-S or --ssl Enable https.
-C or --cert Path to ssl cert file (default: cert.pem).
-K or --key Path to ssl key file (default: key.pem).
-r or --robots Provide a /robots.txt (whose content defaults to User-agent: *\nDisallow: /)
-h or --help Print this list and exit.
index.html will be served as the default file to any directory requests.404.html will be served if a file is not found. This can be used for Single-Page App (SPA) hosting to serve the entry page.#http-server-mock -m main.js
var Router = require('route-emitter'),
router = new Router();
router.listen('get', '/', function (req, res) {
res.end('Hello, world')
})
// listen for any http verb!
router.listen('post', '/blog', function (req, res) {
res.end('BLOG CREATED!')
})
// or you can catch 404s
// router.listen('*', '*', function (req, res) {
// res.writeHead(404)
// res.end('PAGE NOT FOUND!')
// })
// ...or verb-specific 404s
router.listen('put', '*', function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(404)
res.end('RESOURCE NOT FOUND!')
})
// create a listener with named emitter!
router.listen('delete', '/blog', 'deleteThatBlog')
// react to the emit!
router.on('deleteThatBlog', function (req, res) {
res.end('BLOG DELETED')
})
// catch named parameters!
router.listen('get', '/blog/{{ id }}', function (req, res, params) {
res.end(params.id)
})
// catch splats!
router.listen('delete', '/*', function (req, res, params) {
res.end(params._splat[0]) // || res.end(params._1)
})
// or roll your own regexp!
router.listen('patch', /my\/(.*)/, function (req, res, params) {
res.end(params._captured[0]) // || res.end(params.$1)
})
var route = router.route.bind(router);
module.exports = function(req, res){
route(req, res)
}
Checkout this repository locally, then:
$ npm i
$ node bin/http-server
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server
You should see the turtle image in the screenshot above hosted at that URL. See
the ./public folder for demo content.
