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 🙏

Find the Jenga blocks in your codebase - identify critical vulnerabilities and single points of failure

Readme

Nuclear Option 🔍💥

npm version MLoT

Find the Jenga blocks in your codebase - identify critical vulnerabilities and single points of failure before they bring down your entire system.

Demo

What is Nuclear Option?

Nuclear Option is a security analysis tool that goes beyond traditional vulnerability scanning. Instead of just finding bugs, it identifies architectural weaknesses - the critical components that, if compromised, could cause cascading failures throughout your application.

Key Features

  • Dependency Analysis: Find over-relied upon packages and supply chain risks
  • Architecture Scanning: Identify God objects, single points of failure, and bottlenecks
  • Impact Assessment: Understand the "blast radius" of each vulnerability
  • Actionable Remediation: Get specific guidance on how to fix issues
  • CI/CD Integration: Fail builds when critical vulnerabilities are detected

Installation

# Install globally from npm
npm install -g nuclear-option

# Or install from GitHub
npm install -g https://github.com/incrediblecrab/nuclear-option.git

# Or clone and build locally
git clone https://github.com/incrediblecrab/nuclear-option.git
cd nuclear-option
npm install && npm run build
npm link  # Make available globally

Quick Start

# Scan your project
nuclear-option scan ./src

# Generate detailed report
nuclear-option scan --output=report.json

# CI/CD mode
nuclear-option scan --format=json --fail-threshold=80

# Focus on specific vulnerability types
nuclear-option scan --focus=secrets,dependency

# Exclude test files and other patterns
nuclear-option scan --exclude="**/test/**" "**/node_modules/**"

Why Nuclear Option?

Recent security incidents have shown that attackers don't need to find many vulnerabilities - they just need to find the right one. The "Jenga block" that brings everything down. Nuclear Option helps you find these critical weaknesses before attackers do.

Example Output

🔍 Found 3 CRITICAL vulnerabilities:

1. AuthService (Score: 95/100)
   Single point of authentication affecting 127 components
   
2. DatabaseConnection (Score: 92/100)  
   No failover mechanism affecting 89 components
   
3. ConfigManager (Score: 91/100)
   Hardcoded credentials with system-wide impact
