Namecheap Takes Down Polyfill.io Service Following Supply Chain Attack
Polyfill.io has been serving malware for months via its CDN, after the project's open source maintainer sold the service to a company based in China.
This tool is for forwarding TCP or SOCK connections from one computer to another using a central web socket server.
Readme
Wultiplexor is a reverse proxy server and client that uses websockets to multiplex tcp connections or unix sockets. You can use it to forward connections from one machine to another both behind NAT or firewall.
In the beginning, I had needed to redirect a unix socket for one specific application. Later I implemented this in a general way.
docker network create wultiplexor
DOMAIN=wultiplexor.example.com ACME_EMAIL=acme@example.com SECRET=sEcReTkEy docker compose -p wultiplexor -f compose.yaml up --build -d
WARNING: The server is not intended to be used "as is" in a public accessible infrastructure.
Use a reverse proxy like Traefik to secure the connection like I did in the compose.yaml
file.
pip install wultiplexor
whannel ws://example.com/ acceptor -s sEcReTkEy localhost 8080 sEcReTGaTeWaYnAmeE
nc -l 8080
whannel ws://example.com/ requestor sEcReTGaTeWaYnAmeE 9090
nc localhost 9090
And now you can chat between two machines.
whannel wss://example.com/ sock-acceptor -s sEcReTkEy ./server sEcReTGaTeWaYnAmeE
socat UNIX-LISTEN:./server,fork STDIO
whannel wss://example.com/ sock-requestor sEcReTGaTeWaYnAmeE ./client
socat STDIO UNIX-CONNECT:./client
And now you can chat between two machines.
You can mix unix sockets and tcp ports. To do that, use tcp-acceptor from one side and sock-requestor from the another. Or vice versa. This is also a way to "convert" a unix socket to a tcp port on the same machine.
