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

Railgun

Railgun is a high-level library built with the JavaScript programming language designed for web applicaion security testers to be able to write simple scripts to document and automate the exploitation of vulnerabilities found in the wild.

Much like the popular Metasploit software, which can be extended with new modules written in Ruby, Railgun aims to provide tools that web application security testers are used to with a programmatic interface. This includes things like, but not limited to

  • A proxy server that can intercept and modify requests and responses.
  • A spider that can be programmatically configured to crawl websites.
  • A simple way to issue requests in sequence or in parallel with modified payloads.

Desired features

The major milestones for Railgun are to:

  1. Provide the same functionality as the most powerful and common features of tools like Burp Suite and Apache ZAP,
  2. Allow for exploit scripts to be composed into useful testing suites that can be customized by testers with a little bit of coding chops, and finally
  3. Be able to act as an encyclopedia of vulnerabilities in software found in the real world that can be studied by developers and testers in order to build more secure software.

Undesired features

There are also several things that are not goals for Railgun- things that I do not plan to implement and would not want to include in this project at any point.

  1. Railgun does not aim to provide a GUI like Burp or Apache ZAP nor an interactive command-line interface like Metasploit. Some functionality may need to include some interactive elements, however total automation is the goal.
  2. Railgun is not designed to be a useful tool for script kiddies to pick up and pwn websites with. To use Railgun, one will need to have at least a basic understanding of JavaScript programming.
