Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
socks5server
Advanced tools
A simple SOCKS v5/v4/v4a server implementation and a demo proxy.
You can launch a demo proxy server easily :
node proxy.js [options]
This will create a proxy server default at 127.0.0.1:1080
.
options
: see node proxy.js --help
npm install socks5server
You may need socks protocol knowledge to use this one in your project, or refer to the proxy.js
demo.
const socks5server = require('socks5server');
var server = socks5server.createServer();
//or
//var server = new socks5server.socksServer();
server
.on('tcp',(socket, address, port, CMD_REPLY)=>{
//do something with the tcp proxy request
}).on('udp',(socket, expectClientAddress, expectClientPort, CMD_REPLY)=>{
//do something with the udp proxy request
}).on('error', function (e) {
console.error('SERVER ERROR: %j', e);
}).on('client_error',(socket,e)=>{
console.error(' [client error]',`${net.isIP(socket.targetAddress)?'':'('+socket.targetAddress+')'} ${socket.remoteAddress}:${socket.targetPort}`,e.message);
}).on('socks_error',(socket,e)=>{
console.error(' [socks error]',`${net.isIP(socket.targetAddress)?'':'('+(socket.targetAddress||"unknown")+')'} ${socket.remoteAddress||"unknown"}}:${socket.targetPort||"unknown"}`,e);
}).listen(1080, "127.0.0.1");
/*
What is 'CMD_REPLY'?
CMD_REPLY(replyCode,addr,port)
see https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt @page5:"6 Replies" for details
*/
The proxy.js
is a simple demo of the server.
