The Implementation

The md5-js module provides Paul Johnston's JavaScript implementation of the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message Digest Algorithm, as defined in RFC 1321. See http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5 for more info.

@waeri/md5-js was originally included in the entry point to the platform under the directory [from root] node-kit/external/.

Getting Started

NOTE

This module is not ready for production, but published for testing and development purposes. It is in a beta state that is intended for allowing a larger audience of users to try out anything that may already be available, but please be aware that there is likely many aspects of the platform which are not working and/or completely broken; This is intended to allow users to find and report such issues so that they may fixed. Updated documentation and complete examples and tutorials for getting started will be provided as the platform rewrite nears completion.

Installation

kwaeri/node-kit wraps the various components under the kwaeri scope and provides a single point of entry to both the kwaeri/node-kit application framework, and the kwaeri/cli components of the kwaeri platform, for easing the process of building a kwaeri application.

kwaeri/cli wraps the various user-executable framework components under the kwaeri scope, and provides a single point of entry to the CLI tooling of the kwaeri platform.

If you wish to use kwaeri/md5-js - perform the following steps.

Install kwaeri/md5-js:

npm install @kwaeri/md5-js

Usage

To leverage the md5-js component, you'll first need to include it:

// INCLUDES
import { crypt_md5 } from '@kwaeri/md5-js';

//

Then, (i.e., to generate a MD5 hash of a string) instantiate the module by its singular export and call hex_md5():

// You can pass:
//
// hexcase = {number}
// b64pad = {string}
//
// To adjust as appropriate, server-side. The defaults are 0 and an empty string
const md5js = new crypt_md5();

const hash = md5js.hex_md5( "your_string" );

// ...

Please review the source file to discover the potential of Paul Johnston's JavaScript MD5 implementation.

To be continued...

NOTE

As mentioned earlier, the plan is to continue development of the myriad components of the node-kit platform - the md5-js component included - and ultimately ease the process of development, maintainence, and usage of each individual component as they are decoupled from one another.

How to Contribute Code

Our Open Source projects are always open to contribution. If you'd like to cocntribute, all we ask is that you follow the guidelines for contributions, which can be found at the Massively Modified Wiki

There you'll find topics such as the guidelines for contributions; step-by-step walk-throughs for getting set up, Coding Standards, CSS Naming Conventions, and more.

The project also leverages Keybase for communication and alerts - outside of standard email. To join our keybase chat, run the following from terminal (assuming you have keybase installed and running):

keybase team request-access kwaeri

Alternatively, you could search for the team in the GUI application and request access from there.

Other Ways to Contribute

There are other ways to contribute to the project other than with code. Consider testing the software, or in case you've found an Bug - please report it. You can also support the project monetarly through donations via PayPal.

Regardless of how you'd like to contribute, you can also find in-depth information for how to do so at the Massively Modified Wiki

Bug Reports

To submit bug reports, request enhancements, and/or new features - please make use of the issues system baked-in to our source control project space at Gitlab

You may optionally start an issue, track, and manage it via email by sending an email to our project's Service Desk.

For more in-depth documentation on the process of submitting bug reports, please visit the Massively Modified Wiki on Bug Reports

Vulnerability Reports

Our Vulnerability Reporting process is very similar to Gitlab's. In fact, you could say its a fork.

To submit vulnerability reports, please email our Security Group. We will try to acknowledge receipt of said vulnerability by the next business day, and to also provide regular updates about our progress. If you are curious about the status of your report feel free to email us again. If you wish to encrypt your disclosure email, like with gitlab - please email us to ask for our GPG Key.

Please refrain from requesting compensation for reporting vulnerabilities. We will publicly acknowledge your responsible disclosure, if you request us to do so. We will also try to make the confidential issue public after the vulnerability is announced.

You are not allowed, and will not be able, to search for vulnerabilities on Gitlab.com. As our software is open source, you may download a copy of the source and test against that.

Confidential Issues

When a vulnerability is discovered, we create a [confidential issue] to track it internally. Security patches will be pushed to private branches and eventually merged into a security branch. Security issues that are not vulnerabilites can be seen on our public issue tracker.

For more in-depth information regarding vulnerability reports, confidentiality, and our practices; Please visit the Massively Modified Wiki on Vulnerability

Donations

If you cannot contribute time or energy to neither the code base, documentation, nor community support; please consider making a monetary contribution which is extremely useful for maintaining the Massively Modified network and all the goodies offered free to the public.
