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 🙏

Standalone Node.js implementation of Darkstar Encryption

Readme

@kryklin/darkstar-crypt-node

Darkstar V2 Encryption Protocol - Node.js Implementation

A high-performance, standalone implementation of the Darkstar V2 security protocol for Node.js. Designed for web backends and desktop applications requiring defense-in-depth for sensitive mnemonic assets.

🛡️ Security Features

  • Dynamic Obfuscation Pool: 12-stage transformation pipeline seeded by password and data.
  • AES-256-CBC: Encapsulated with 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations.
  • Stateless Reversal: Requires a "Reverse Key" produced during encryption for decryption.
  • Native Performance: Leverages the Node.js crypto module.

🚀 Installation

npm install @kryklin/darkstar-crypt-node

💻 Usage

Library Usage

import { DarkstarCrypt } from '@kryklin/darkstar-crypt-node';

const crypt = new DarkstarCrypt();

// Encrypt
const { encryptedData, reverseKey } = await crypt.encrypt("my secret phrase", "password123");
console.log('Encrypted:', encryptedData);
console.log('Reverse Key:', reverseKey);

// Decrypt
const decrypted = await crypt.decrypt(encryptedData, "password123", reverseKey);
console.log('Decrypted:', decrypted);

CLI Usage

The package includes a CLI tool that can be run via npx.

# Encrypt
npx darkstar-crypt encrypt "secret message" "password"

# Decrypt
npx darkstar-crypt decrypt '{"v":2,"data":"..."}' "password" "REVERSE_KEY_B64"

# Run internal tests
npx darkstar-crypt test

📜 Data Format

Standard output is a JSON-encapsulated object:

{
  "v": 2,
  "data": "SALT(32)IV(32)CIPHERTEXT(B64)"
}

[!IMPORTANT] The Reverse Key is essential for decryption. It must be stored securely alongside the encrypted data.
