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 🙏

Password Sheriff

FOSSA Status

Node.js (and browserify supported) library to enforce password policies.

Install

npm install password-sheriff

Usage

var PasswordPolicy = require('password-sheriff').PasswordPolicy;

// Create a length password policy
var lengthPolicy = new PasswordPolicy({length: {minLength: 6}});

// will throw as the password does not meet criteria
lengthPolicy.assert('hello');

// returns false if password does not meet rules
assert.equal(false, lengthPolicy.check('hello'));

// explains the policy
var explained = lengthPolicy.explain();

assert.equal(1, explained.length);

// easier i18n
assert.equal('lengthAtLeast', explained[0].code);
assert.equal('At least 6 characters in length',
             format(explained[0].message, explained[0].format));

API

Password Rules

Password Rules are objects that implement the following methods:

  • rule.validate(options): method called after the rule was created in order to validate options arguments.
  • rule.assert(options, password): returns true if password is valid.
  • rule.explain(options): returns an object with code, message and format attributes:
    • code: Identifier of the rule. This attribute is meant to aid i18n.
    • message: Description of the rule that must be formatted using util.format.
    • format: Array of string or Number that will be used for the replacements required in message.
  • rule.missing(options, password): returns an object similar to rule.explain plus an additional field verified that informs whether the password meets the rule.

Example of rule.explain method:

FooRule.prototype.explain = function (options) {
  return {
    // identifier rule (to make i18n easier)
    code: 'foo',
    message: 'Foo should be present at least %d times.',
    format: [options.count]
  };
};

When explained:

var explained = fooRule.explain({count: 5});

// "Foo should be present at least 5 times"
util.format(explained.message, explained.format[0]);

See the custom-rule example section for more information.

Built-in Password Rules

Password Sheriff includes some default rules:

  • length: The minimum amount of characters a password must have.
var lengthPolicy = new PasswordPolicy({length: {minLength: 3}});
  • contains: Password should contain all of the charsets specified. There are 4 predefined charsets: upperCase, lowerCase, numbers and specialCharacters (specialCharactersare the ones defined in OWASP Password Policy recommendation document).
var charsets = require('password-sheriff').charsets;

var containsPolicy = new PasswordPolicy({contains: {
  expressions: [charsets.upperCase, charsets.numbers]
}});
  • containsAtLeast: Passwords should contain at least atLeast of a total of expressions.length groups.
var charsets = require('password-sheriff').charsets;

var containsAtLeastPolicy = new PasswordPolicy({
  containsAtLeast: {
    atLeast: 2,
    expressions: [ charsets.lowerCase, charsets.upperCase, charsets.numbers ]
  }
});
  • identicalChars: Passwords should not contain any character repeated continuously max + 1 times.
var identitcalCharsPolicy = new PasswordPolicy({
  identicalChars: {
    max: 3
  }
});

See the default-rules example section for more information.
