Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Cordova SSL Certificate Info plugin (iOS, Android)

1. Description

This plugin is used for fetching SSL certificate information from given HTTPS URL including base64 encode certificate data, SHA-1 fingerprint and subject summary.

Use this plugin together with the modified version of cordova-plugin-http plugin with SSL Pinning will add an extra layer of security by preventing 'Man in the Middle' attacks.

2. Installation

Latest stable version from npm:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-certinfo

Bleeding edge version from Github:

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/yyfearth/cordova-plugin-certinfo

3. Usage

You can use the fetch method to load the certificate information.

  • certificate: base64 encoded certificate data
  • subject: subject principals returned from Android, subject summery/CN from iOS
  • fingerprint: the SHA-1 fingerprint of the certificate

You can verify the fingerprint by opening the server URL in Chrome. Then click the green certificate in front of the URL, click 'Connection', 'Certificate details', expand the details and scroll down to the SHA1 fingerprint.

  var server = "https://build.phonegap.com";

  window.plugins.certInfo.fetch(serverUrl).then(function(info) {
    console.log(info.certificate, info.subject, info.fingerprint);
  }, function(err) {
    console.error(err); // may include CONNECTION_FAILED CONNECTION_FINISHED
  });
  • On iOS, this plugin only return the subject summery, typically the CN value, of the certificate for the subject.
  • On Android, the subject will return the subject principals, and issuer will return the issuer principals, and details will return a very detailed description of the certificate.

4. Credits

This plugin is forked from the original repo SSLCertificateChecker-PhoneGap-Plugin by EddyVerbruggen.

The iOS code was inspired by a closed-source, purely native certificate pinning implementation by Rob Bosman.

Jacob Weber did some great work to support checking multiple certificates on iOS, thanks!
