Deprecated Buffer usage

See original GitHub issue

The module still depends on a version of packet-reader that has deprecated Buffer usage.

consoleStream.js:43
(node:44680) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.
