lightning PyPI Package Compromised in Supply Chain Attack
Socket detected a malicious supply chain attack on PyPI package lightning versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3, which execute credential-stealing malware on import.
httpmetrics
Advanced tools
Nodejs module that reports metrics, both for request and response, to outgoing HTTP/HTTPS connections made from the app. The module hooks into the HTTP methods of node to compute metrics. Upon completing outgoing request, module emits 'httpmetrics' event with 'request' as metric type. Upon receiving a response back on the socket, module emits 'httpmetrics' event with 'response' as metric type.
* Metrics added
* IncomingMessage: {
ymetrics: {

}
* OutgoingMessage: {
ymetrics: {

}
}
This package is tested only with Node versions 8 and 10.
With npm do:
npm install httpmetrics
var httpmetrics = require('httpmetrics');
//Start collecting metrics
httpmetrics.appendHttpMetrics();
httpmetrics.on('httpmetrics', function(metricType, metrics) {
//metricType = request / response
//metrics = corresponding metrics
});
