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 🙏

Passwdqc-js

About

The passwdqc is the brilliant password quality checker library made by Openwall. Passwdqc-js is a JavaScript port of passwdqc, made by Parallels. Passwdqc-js supports AMD and NodeJS/CommonJS module format. So it runs on both client and server.

Demo page (Limited functionality)

http://doc.apsstandard.org/7.2/apsfiddle/?file=7.2/_static/examples/password/calcStrength.html

Compatibilty with Passwdqc

Passwdqc-js was tested for compatibility with original passwdqc. We used following password databases in order to guarantee that both accept nearly the same subset of passwords:

  • 14M unique RockYou passwords from 2009 leak (99.99% match with passwdqc)
  • 10K random 10-character symbolic passwords (100% match with passwdqc)
  • 10K random pass phrases, generated by passwdqc/pwqgen (100% match with passwdqc)

Usage

Use passwdqc.check(newpass, [oldpass], [login], [gecos], [params]) function to check password quality.

Parameters

  • newpass: password to check
  • oldpass: old password to check if new password is based on it
  • login: user's login name to check that password is not based on it
  • gecos: any other personal information to check
  • params: custom parameters for passwdqc algorithm, see

Return value

  • Empty string if password is considered good;
  • The reason why password is considered weak, otherwise.

Examples

NodeJS

var passwdqc = require('passwdqc');

var rv = passwdqc.check(password, old_password);

if (!rv) {
	// Password is of good quality
	// ...
} else {
	// The "rv" now contains reason why password considered weak
}

Client-Side

// Declare security policy
var lowParams	 = { min: [6,  6,  6, 6, 6], max: 40, passphrase_words: 3, match_length: 4, similar_deny: 1, random_bits: 47, flags: 3, retry: 3 },
	mediumParams = { min: [8,  8,  8, 7, 6], max: 40, passphrase_words: 3, match_length: 4, similar_deny: 1, random_bits: 47, flags: 3, retry: 3 };

// Checking value
function check(val){
    if(val.length == 0) return 0;
    if(!passwdqc_check(val)) return 4;
    if(!passwdqc_check(val, undefined, undefined, undefined, mediumParams)) return 3;
    if(!passwdqc_check(val, undefined, undefined, undefined, lowParams)) return 2;
    return 1;
}
