SSLv2 support has been removed to help avoid the DROWN attack vulnerability. It’s old, but it gets some key security updates. Pay what you want (with a minimum of $10). Uses WebRTC, Node and a little jQuery. Everything you need to know about using JWTs securely, preventing XSS and CSRF attacks, and OAuth Access and Refresh Tokens. Brief introduction to a long standing, tried and tested library for doing realtime comms in Web apps. Instant performance insights, built for Node.js developers. Pinpoint performance issues with a breakdown that makes sense. Install in minutes. A toolkit for writing ‘data moving’ tools in Node. The examples sell it quite well and it works with MySQL, Redshift, Elasticsearch, FTP and S3 out of the box. Helps you write a JavaScript-powered interactive command-line application in a ‘classic’ style.
