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 🙏

@naosan/sku-obfuscator

v1.1.0

Published

A lightweight SKU obfuscation library with deterministic algorithm-based key generation for product ID masking

Readme

@naosan/sku-obfuscator

🎯 Overview

This package provides a simple yet effective monoalphabetic substitution system designed specifically for SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) obfuscation. It generates consistent character mappings from a secret key, making it perfect for scenarios where you need to:

  • Prevent Google search detection of original product IDs
  • Hide original URL structure - Obfuscated output may contain any character
  • Enable offline decryption (Chrome extensions, etc.)
  • Maintain consistent encryption across multiple applications
  • Keep implementation minimal and maintainable

✨ Features

  • 🔐 Algorithm-based key generation - No external files needed
  • 🎯 Deterministic results - Same key always produces same mapping
  • 📱 Chrome extension compatible - Offline operation support
  • ⚡ Minimal implementation - Core logic in ~20 lines
  • 🔤 Full character support - a-z, A-Z, 0-9, / (63 characters)
  • 🛡️ Fisher-Yates shuffling - Deterministic character mixing
  • 📦 ES Module ready - Modern JavaScript import/export

🚀 Installation

# Install from GitHub (private repository)
npm install git+https://github.com/Naosan/sku-obfuscator.git

# Or using yarn
yarn add git+https://github.com/Naosan/sku-obfuscator.git

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variable

You can set the default cipher key using the MONO_CIPHER_KEY environment variable:

# Windows
set MONO_CIPHER_KEY=your-custom-secret-key

# Linux/macOS
export MONO_CIPHER_KEY=your-custom-secret-key

# Node.js application
process.env.MONO_CIPHER_KEY = "your-custom-secret-key";

Priority order:

  1. Explicitly passed secretKey parameter
  2. process.env.MONO_CIPHER_KEY environment variable
  3. Default fallback: "MONO_CIPHER_KEY"

📖 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import { MonoalphabeticCipher } from '@naosan/sku-obfuscator';

// Create cipher with default key (process.env.MONO_CIPHER_KEY || "MONO_CIPHER_KEY")
const cipher = new MonoalphabeticCipher();

// Encrypt product ID
const productId = "S5smas8TFSWpJUso6Ro3vK";
const encrypted = cipher.encrypt(productId);
console.log(encrypted); // → "kUnXKnHqfkmAv9nAUjAusg"

// Decrypt back to original
const decrypted = cipher.decrypt(encrypted);
console.log(decrypted); // → "S5smas8TFSWpJUso6Ro3vK"
