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 🙏

HTTP server middleware for detecting and rejecting SQL injection attempts

Readme

SQL-Inject-Reject Build Status Coverage Status Packagist

Detect and reject SQL injection attempts before processing them.

About

Analyzes HTTP a request's URL and body as they're received and if a SQL statement is detected responds with 403 Forbidden. Intended to be part of a layered security approach.

Getting Started

Install sql-inject-reject as an npm module and save it to your package.json file as a dependency:

npm install sql-inject-reject

Once it's installed you can reference it by calling require('sql-inject-reject');

Usage

The middleware allows for configuration of the security level and SQL keywords to reject.

The security levels are paranoid elevated typical and silent. The security level is set to typical if no level is specified. Security levels may be specified on load:

app.use(sqlInjectReject({ level: 'elevated' }))

By default any security level typical or above looks for the OR SQL keyword.

Additional keywords can be specified with or without specifying a security level. Keywords are validated regardless of their case and their hex equivalents.

Keywords must be specified as an array:

app.use(sqlInjectReject({ keywords: ['UNION','SELECT'] }))

You may pass the middleware to your http server with app.use():

const sqlInjectReject = require('sql-inject-reject');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.use(sqlInjectReject());

Or you may pass the middleware to a specific route or routes:

const sqlInjectReject = require('sql-inject-reject');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.post('/login', sqlInjectReject(), function(req, res) {
  // some code here
});

Security Levels

By default security levels are hierarchical, which means higher security levels perform the validations of the security levels below them as well as their own. The security level hierarchy is as follows: paranoid > elevated > typical > silent

  • Paranoid: Checks for any of ' -- # and their hex equivalents. It is likely to produce a lot of false positives.
  • Elevated: Checks for = followed by any ' -- ; and their hex equivalents.
  • Typical: Checks for 'OR is any case and its hex equivalents.
  • Silent: Performs no SQL checks but can still be used with specific keywords.

Notes

This package is not intended to be a substitute for SQL query validation.
