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 🙏

To enhance the security of phone number verification for OTPs and to mitigate the risk of using virtual or VoIP numbers, you can implement the following additional verification techniques:

Rate Limiting and Lockout Policies: Implement rate limiting to restrict the number of OTP verification attempts from a single phone number within a specific time frame. You can also impose lockout policies after a certain number of failed attempts to prevent brute force attacks.

Behavior Analysis: Analyze the behavior of the user requesting OTPs. Unusual patterns, such as rapid, repeated requests for OTPs, might indicate suspicious activity.

IP Address Verification: Check the user's IP address and compare it with the country code associated with the phone number. Mismatched IP and phone number locations can be a sign of fraudulent activity.

Verify SIM Card Ownership: Send a text message with a unique code to the phone number and ask the user to enter the code on your application. This helps verify that the user has access to the SIM card associated with the phone number.

Check for Disposable Phone Numbers: Utilize a service or database that can identify disposable phone numbers or numbers from temporary SMS services. Reject requests from such numbers.

Phone Number Reputation Services: Use third-party services like TeleSign, Nexmo, or similar providers that offer phone number reputation checks. They can provide insights into the history and behavior of a phone number.

Multi-Channel Verification: Use multiple channels for verification, such as sending the OTP via SMS, email, or voice call. It makes it more challenging for malicious users to bypass the system.

Geolocation Data: Leverage geolocation data to validate that the user's physical location corresponds with the phone number's location. Unusual discrepancies can be a red flag.

Behavioral Biometrics: Consider implementing behavioral biometrics, such as fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, or voice recognition, for added security during the verification process.

User Feedback and Reporting: Allow users to report suspicious activity or phone numbers, and incorporate user feedback into your verification process.

This is no foolproof method for eliminating fraud entirely, but by combining multiple verification techniques and constantly monitoring and improving your system's security, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access and fraud in your application.
