Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
A package that parses the /proc/net/sockstat file for socket connectivity statistics.
A Node.js package that parses the /proc/net/sockstat
file for socket connectivity statistics.
First, install the package using npm:
npm install sockstat --save
Then, start using the package by importing it and running the main function:
var sockstat = require('sockstat');
// Get current sockstat info
sockstat.get()
.then(function (stats) {
// Log stats
console.log(stats);
}).catch(function (err) {
// Log error
console.log(err);
});
For the following /proc/net/sockstat
:
sockets: used 123
TCP: inuse 19 orphan 105 tw 2115 alloc 132 mem 1638
UDP: inuse 1 mem 1
UDPLITE: inuse 0
RAW: inuse 0
FRAG: inuse 0 memory 0
The package returns the following output:
{
"sockets": {
"used": 123
},
"tcp": {
"inuse": 19,
"orphan": 105,
"tw": 2115,
"alloc": 132,
"mem": 1638
},
"udp": {
"inuse": 1,
"mem": 1
},
"udplite": {
"inuse": 0
},
"raw": {
"inuse": 0
},
"frag": {
"inuse": 0,
"mem": 0
}
}
