The Growing Risk of Malicious Browser Extensions
Socket researchers uncover how browser extensions in trusted stores are used to hijack sessions, redirect traffic, and manipulate user behavior.
Injects a fake HTTP request/response into a node HTTP server for simulating server logic, writing tests, or debugging. Does not use a socket connection so can be run against an inactive server (server not in listen mode).
Lead Maintainer: Matt Harrison
// Load modules
const Http = require('http');
const Shot = require('shot');
// Declare internals
const internals = {};
internals.main = async function () {
const dispatch = function (req, res) {
const reply = 'Hello World';
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length });
res.end(reply);
};
const server = Http.createServer(dispatch);
const res = await Shot.inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' });
console.log(res.payload);
};
internals.main();
Note how server.listen
is never called.
