Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
Allows you to specify SSL/TLS cipher suites based on both security and browser compatibility.
A node.js implementation of the recommended cipher suites and TLS/SSL versions from Mozilla's Server Side TLS project.
Note this package only sets cipher suites and TLS/SSL versions, other parts of the recommendations are implemented elsewhere, eg, for Express servers HSTS we recommend using Helmet.
Just use either 'modern', 'intermediate' or 'old'.
Firefox 27, Chrome 22, IE 11, Opera 14, Safari 7, Android 4.4, Java 8 and newer.
Firefox 1, Chrome 1, IE 7, Opera 5, Safari 1, Windows XP IE8, Android 2.3, Java 7 and newer.
Windows XP IE6, Java 6 and newer. You really shouldn't use this setting, it is implemented for completeness.
Eg:
var sslCipherSuites = require('ssl-cipher-suites')('high');
Then run https.createServer
per node.js TLS and io.js TLS docs.
https.createServer({
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: certificateAuthority,
ciphers: sslCipherSuites.ciphers,
secureOptions: sslCipherSuites.secureOptions
});
Or for express.js
var server = https.createServer({
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: certificateAuthority,
ciphers: sslCipherSuites.ciphers,
secureOptions: sslCipherSuites.secureOptions
}, app);
