Combatting Alert Fatigue by Prioritizing Malicious Intent
In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.

OptiPNG wrapper that makes it seamlessly available as a local dependency on OS X, Linux, FreeBSD and Windows
The optipng-bin package provides a Node.js wrapper for the OptiPNG image optimization tool. It allows you to optimize PNG images by reducing their file size without losing quality. This can be particularly useful for web developers looking to improve page load times by minimizing image sizes.
Optimize a single PNG image
This feature allows you to optimize a single PNG image using the highest optimization level (-o7). The code sample demonstrates how to use the optipng-bin package to optimize 'input.png' and log a message upon completion.
const execFile = require('child_process').execFile;
const optipng = require('optipng-bin');
execFile(optipng, ['-o7', 'input.png'], (err) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log('Image optimized');
});
Optimize multiple PNG images
This feature allows you to optimize multiple PNG images in a batch. The code sample demonstrates how to loop through an array of image filenames and optimize each one using the optipng-bin package.
const execFile = require('child_process').execFile;
const optipng = require('optipng-bin');
const images = ['image1.png', 'image2.png', 'image3.png'];
images.forEach((image) => {
execFile(optipng, ['-o7', image], (err) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(`${image} optimized`);
});
});
Custom optimization level
This feature allows you to specify a custom optimization level for the PNG image. The code sample demonstrates how to use the optipng-bin package to optimize 'input.png' with an optimization level of 2.
const execFile = require('child_process').execFile;
const optipng = require('optipng-bin');
execFile(optipng, ['-o2', 'input.png'], (err) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log('Image optimized with custom level');
});
imagemin-optipng is a plugin for the imagemin image optimization tool that uses OptiPNG to compress PNG images. It offers similar functionality to optipng-bin but is designed to be used within the imagemin ecosystem, which supports multiple image formats and optimization plugins.
pngquant-bin is a Node.js wrapper for the pngquant command-line tool, which compresses PNG images using lossy compression. Unlike optipng-bin, which focuses on lossless compression, pngquant-bin can achieve smaller file sizes by allowing some quality loss.
pngcrush-bin is a Node.js wrapper for the pngcrush command-line tool, which optimizes PNG images by trying various compression methods and selecting the best one. It offers similar functionality to optipng-bin but uses a different optimization algorithm.
OptiPNG 0.7.4 Node.js wrapper that makes it seamlessly available as a local dependency on OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Windows.
OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller size, without losing any information.
$ npm install --save optipng-bin
var execFile = require('child_process').execFile;
var optipng = require('optipng-bin').path;
execFile(optipng, ['-v'], function (err, stdout, stderr) {
console.log('OptiPNG version:', stdout.match(/\d\.\d\.\d/)[0]);
});
$ npm install --global optipng
