authentication. A minimalistic HTML5 front-end connects to the portals statistics API to display stats from from each
pool such as connected miners, network/pool difficulty/hash rate, etc.
* Attack mitigation features:
* Detects and thwarts socket flooding (invalid data sent over socket in order to consume system resources).
* Detects and thwarts zombie miners (botnet infected computers connecting to your server to use up sockets but not sending any shares).
* Detects and thwarts invalid share attacks:
* NOMP dynamically generates the max difficulty for each hashing algorithm based on values founds in coin source
code so that the low difficulty share exploits happening to other pool servers won't work on this one.
* IP banning feature which on a configurable threshold will ban an IP for a configurable amount of time if the miner
submits over a configurable threshold of invalid shares.
* NOMP is written in Node.js which uses a single thread (async) to handle connections rather than the overhead of one
thread per connection, and clustering is also implemented so all CPU cores are taken advantage of.
