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 🙏

Security restrictions for Hugsy - protect sensitive files and operations

Readme

@hugsylabs/plugin-security

Security restrictions plugin for Hugsy that focuses solely on protecting sensitive files and operations.

Features

  • 🔒 Deny access to sensitive files (env, keys, secrets)
  • 🛡️ Block dangerous system commands
  • ⚠️ Require confirmation for risky operations
  • 🚨 Security warnings via hooks
  • 🔐 Protect credentials and API keys
  • 🚫 Prevent accidental data loss

Installation

npm install @hugsylabs/plugin-security

Usage

Add to your .hugsyrc.json:

{
  "plugins": ["@hugsylabs/plugin-security"]
}

What It Adds

Denied Operations

The plugin completely blocks these dangerous operations:

Sensitive Files:

  • Environment files (.env, .env.*)
  • SSH keys and certificates
  • Credentials and secrets
  • API keys and tokens
  • AWS/GCloud credentials
  • Database files

System Operations:

  • System file modifications (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow)
  • Dangerous deletions (rm -rf /)
  • Unsafe script execution (curl | bash)
  • Global package installations
  • Network scanning tools
  • Process termination commands
  • System service management

Ask Before Operations

The plugin requires confirmation for these operations:

  • File/directory deletions (rm -rf, rm -r)
  • Permission changes (chmod, chown)
  • Archive extraction (tar, unzip)
  • File downloads (curl, wget)
  • Docker operations
  • Database connections
  • Force Git operations

Security Hooks

Pre-operation warnings:

  • Sudo command detection
  • File deletion warnings
  • Permission change alerts

Post-operation notifications:

  • Download completion alerts
  • Source verification reminders

Security Philosophy

This plugin follows the principle of least privilege:

  1. Deny by default - Block access to known sensitive files
  2. Ask when uncertain - Require confirmation for risky operations
  3. Warn proactively - Alert users before dangerous actions
  4. Protect data - Prevent accidental data loss or exposure

Single Responsibility

This plugin focuses solely on security restrictions:

  • Protecting sensitive files
  • Blocking dangerous commands
  • Requiring confirmations
  • Adding security warnings

It does NOT handle:

  • General permissions (use presets)
  • Development workflows (use other plugins)
  • Git operations (use @hugsylabs/plugin-git)
  • Testing (use @hugsylabs/plugin-test)

Customization

You can override specific restrictions in your .hugsyrc.json:

{
  "plugins": ["@hugsylabs/plugin-security"],
  "permissions": {
    "allow": ["Read(**/.env.example)"]
  }
}
