socket.io antiddos?

Question

Node.js

There is a project that uses socket.io
In the console, anyone can emit events. You can do this in a loop something like:
for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
socket.emit('any_data' , 5);
}
Now I've made the protection on the server and I'm checking the number of operations per second for socket.id
But I don't think this is an option.
Maybe there are better options or where to read about such protection?

Answer 1

Monit , if I’m not mistaken, is the name of the program, in our case it does not allow the node to load the processor more than 90%, thus maintaining the responsiveness of the system.

Answer 2

And it’s right that they did it on the server, it’s useless to do it on the client, because you can write such a cycle not only in the browser console, but also in the node console on another machine, and without protection on the server with the help of counters, you won’t be saved anyway .
