The purpose of this module is to provide out-of-box, proactive protection for common security problems, like
SQL injection attacks, XSS attacks, brute force, etc...
This module is not a silver bullet, and is not a substitute for security-minded engineering work. But it can help you to achieve your goals.
Basic usage
npm i koa-protect --save
With Express
constprotect=require('koa-protect')constKoa=require('koa')constratelimit=require('koa-ratelimit')constbodyParser=require('koa-bodyparser')constredis=require('redis')constclient=redis.createClient()constapp=newKoa()app.use(bodyParser.json())constrouter=require('koa-router')()app.use(protect.koa.sqlInjection({body: true,loggerFunction: console.error}))app.use(protect.koa.xss({body: true,loggerFunction: console.error}))app.use(ratelimit({db: client,duration: 60000,errorMessage: 'Sometimes You Just Have to Slow Down.',id: (ctx)=>ctx.ip,headers: {remaining: 'Rate-Limit-Remaining',reset: 'Rate-Limit-Reset',total: 'Rate-Limit-Total'},max: 100}))app.use(router.routes())app.use(router.allowedMethods());app.listen(process.env.PORT||3000,(err)=>{if(err){returnconsole.error('server could not start')}console.log('server is running')})
API
protect.koa.sqlInjection([options])
Returns an Koa middleware, which checks for SQL injections.
options.body: if this options is set (true), the middleware will check for request bodies as well
default: false
prerequisite: you must have the body-parser module used before adding the protect middleware
options.loggerFunction: you can provide a logger function for the middleware to log attacks
default: noop
protect.koa.xss([options])
Returns an Koa middleware, which checks for XSS attacks.
options.body: if this options is set (true), the middleware will check for request bodies
default: false
prerequisite: you must have the body-parser module used before adding the protect middleware
options.loggerFunction: you can provide a logger function for the middleware to log attacks
remaining remaining number of requests ['X-RateLimit-Remaining']
reset reset timestamp ['X-RateLimit-Reset']
total total number of requests ['X-RateLimit-Limit']
protect.koa.headers([options])
The headers object is a reference to the main helmet object exported.
For docs on the options object, please refer to the helmet documentation.
Security Recommendations
As mentioned, this module isn't a silver bullet to solve your security issues completely. The following information is provided to hopefully point you in the right direction for solving other security concerns or alternatives that may be useful based on your budget or scale.
Other Aspects
There are plenty of other areas that you should be concerned about when it comes to security, that this module doesn't cover (yet or won't) for various reasons. Here are a few that are worth researching:
If you have the resources available (budget or hosting environment), a dedicated WAF (Web Application Firewall) can offer a robust solution to various security issues, such as blocking potential attackers and flagging their activity.
