Opengrep Emerges as Open Source Alternative Amid Semgrep Licensing Controversy
Opengrep forks Semgrep to preserve open source SAST in response to controversial licensing changes.
Moonito is a simple but powerful real-time web traffic filtering service and analytics that not only helps you to track, analyse and understand your visitors but also protects your website from bot attacks, data scraping, and other unwanted activities.
Moonito is a Node.js and TypeScript module built for web protection, traffic filtering, and analytics. It safeguards your application by detecting and blocking potentially harmful traffic based on IP, user agents, and visitor behavior. With Moonito, you can shield your website from bots, competitors, and unwanted traffic, all while gaining actionable insights into your audience.
To use Moonito, you need an API key and a subscription to the Moonito service. For more details, review our Moonito documentation.
Install Moonito using npm:
npm install moonito
import express from 'express';
import { VisitorTrafficFiltering } from 'moonito';
// Create an Express application
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
/**
* Configuration object for VisitorTrafficFiltering
* This configuration is used to set up the AnalyticsHandler instance for handling visitor requests.
* To use the API, you need to set up your public and secret API keys.
*
* Visit https://moonito.net/api for more details.
*/
const config = {
isProtected: true, // Enable protection for the site (true) or disable it (false)
apiPublicKey: 'Your API Public Key', // Enter your API Public Key here
apiSecretKey: 'Your API Secret Key', // Enter your API Secret Key here
unwantedVisitorTo: 'https://google.com', // URL or HTTP error code for unwanted visitors based on `unwantedVisitorAction`
unwantedVisitorAction: 1 // Action to take for unwanted visitors: 1 = Redirect, 2 = Iframe, 3 = Load content
};
// Create an instance of VisitorTrafficFiltering with the provided configuration
const filter = new VisitorTrafficFiltering(config);
// Middleware function to handle visitor requests.
app.use(async (req, res, next) => {
try {
await filter.evaluateVisitor(req, res);
} catch (error) {
return next(error);
}
next(!res.headersSent ? undefined : null);
});
// Route handler for the root URL
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World!');
});
// Start the Express server and listen on the specified port
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
const { VisitorTrafficFiltering } = require('moonito');

return;
}
console.log('Visitor is not blocked.');
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
});
