The Push to Ban Ransom Payments Is Gaining Momentum
Ransomware costs victims an estimated $30 billion per year and has gotten so out of control that global support for banning payments is gaining momentum.

A simple an easy to use Modbus TCP client/server implementation.
Modbus is a simple Modbus TCP/RTU Client/Server with a simple API. It supports modbus function codes 1 - 6 and 15 and 16.
Just type npm install jsmodbus
and you are ready to go.
The test files are implemented using mocha and sinon.
Simply npm install -g mocha
and npm install -g sinon
. To run the tests type from the projects root folder mocha test/*
.
Please feel free to fork and add your own tests.
We got rid of all the dependencies like stampit and serialport and make extensive use of es6 features like promisses. This way we, the developer do not have any restrictions on how to use this module. Unfortunatly this way the module probably won't work for nodejs versions lower than 6.0.
For modbus rtu we recommend the serialport npm module, for tcp the net.Socket interface is needed. When you need to keep a connection alive with some reconnect logic, use the node-net-reconnect module from our github page https://github.com/cloud-automation/node-net-reconnect.
If you want to see some debugging information, since Version 3 we use the debug module. You can filter the debug output by defining the DEBUG environment variable like so export DEBUG=*
// create a tcp modbus client
let Modbus = require('jsmodbus')
let net = require('net')
let socket = new net.Socket()
let client = new Modbus.client.TCP(socket, unitId)
let options = {
'host' : host
'port' : port
}
// create a tcp modbus client
let Modbus = require('jsmodbus')
let SerialPort = require('serialport')
let options = {
baudRate: 57600
}
let socket = new SerialPort("/dev/tty-usbserial1", options)
let client = new Modbus.client.RTU(socket, address)
// for reconnecting see node-net-reconnect npm module
// use socket.on('open', ...) when using serialport
socket.on('connect', function () {
// make some calls
client.readCoils(0, 13).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { response : [TCP|RTU]Response, request: [TCP|RTU]Request }
// the data will be located in resp.response.body.coils: <Array>, resp.response.body.payload: <Buffer>
console.log(resp);
}, console.error);
});
socket.connect(options)
I've written a module to keep net.Socket connections alive by emitting TCP Keep-Alive messages. Have a look at the node-net-reconnect module.
let modbus = require('jsmodbus')
let net = require('net')
let server = new net.Server()
let server = new modbus.server.TCP(server)
server.listen(502)
We've got a munin server running some scripts. You can find detailed results on jsmodbus.cloud-automation.de.
