When I call a language fun, I generally mean: 1. It delights me by doing what I want. 2. It makes normally complex programming tasks easy (try metaprogramming in php). 3. It is simpler than I originally imagined. 1 & 2…
No, node.js needed to happen. Javascript makes it very easy to write event-driven code, which it turns out is a pretty good model for a web server, especially if you are routing real-time data between clients. It didn't…
1. node.js happened 2. lots of devs already know the javascript API very well.. a lot of times these same devs write server backends. why not share code between client and server? 3. (maybe just me) it turns out writing…
That's a bad assumption. I could feasibly purchase the appsp0t.com domain, grab an ssl cert for nodecrypt.appsp0t.com, hop onto the LAN and run sslstrip, redirect the user to https://nodecrypt.appsp0t.com and wall-a,…
Using his same attack, it's easy to spoof the js crypto libs to be insecure/have a backdoor, while the site appears unmodified to the user. Even worse is that the attacker only really needs to spoof the JS assets once,…
