Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.
#IIRC
IIRC is a simple, modular Node.js IRC client.
###Details
IIRC was built with a purpose in mind: Hooking an API into IRC for notifications. CI/CD service IRC notifications can be pretty spammy, and also lacking in depth, functionality, and customization. IIRC was created to solve this (nitpicky, minor) problem. Simply pull IIRC into any web server and you've got an instant webhook for ultra customizable notifications. IIRC uses Node's built-in modules, so there's no need to worry about code bloat.
###Usage
In its simplest form, IIRC by default connects to Freenode:
var iirc = require('iirc');
client.on('message', function(message) {
iirc.send('Received message: ' + message, '##iirc');
});
But of course you can specify a variety of configuration options:
var iirc = require('iirc').config({
channel: "##iirc",
host: "irc.example.com",
port: 6697,
ssl: true
});
client.on('message', function(message) {
iirc.send('Received message: ' + message);
});
FAQs
Modular Node.js IRC Client
We found that iirc demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
