Hi guys! Since I started to write Bluebox-ng I've been tracking the different security projects I found written in Node.js. Now we've published the first stable version we think it's the right moment to speak among us (and, of course, everyone interested in it :).
- I think we're rewriting the same stuff in our respective projects again and again. For example, almost any tool supports IPv6 because the functions we need are still not present in the Node core and the libraries I found (IMHO) were not enough.
- There're different projects implementing exactly the same thing, ie: port scanners.
- We're working in a too new environment, so we need to make it together.
- Our 2 cents to make Node still more awesome. Now we have io.js whose main idea is to gain commiters.
To clarify: We've NO interest in keeping the project name or something similar, our only idea is to code in a bigger community.
The resume of the improvised-meeting is that, for now, we need a community related with security tools written in Node. So, first of all we need:
This way we could:
About the framework we think that it's better to create a subproject inside the community. We have been speaking about some ideas of what we want (and we don't!) and how we could design it. But we can talk about it once the community is created.
Ideas, opinions, suggestions ? :)
