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.

Web Installer Authenticator

Make sure you win the race

Motivation

I was recently testing out various software on my Lightsail server, and I am disappointed by the poor security of web installers. A lot of them treat the first user to connect as the administrator, which is unfortunately not guaranteed to be you.

Web Installer Authenticator will crate a cryptographically secure random key to make sure the person typing into the terminal is the same person connecting to the web installer.

Installation

You need the latest version of Node.js.

sudo npm install --global web-installer-authenticator

Usage

Usage: wiauth domain target

  domain - domain of this proxy server
  target - address to web installer
           a port, a domain, or both
           domain defaults to localhost

Make sure to secure your installer with firewall

It is up to you to secure your installer with a firewall!

A TLS certificate is highly recommended, you can get free ones from Let's Encrypt.

Contacts

Simply open an issue on GitHub.

If you are reporting a vulnerability or otherwise wish to communicate privately, you can open a confidential issue on GitLab.
