A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
A ROT26 encryption algorithm implementation as a secure node package. ROT26 encryption is similar to ROT13 but twice as secure.
Useful when your enterprise level application needs to scale to the clouds and just can't depend on external services like rot26.org.
Warning! You should never execute your ROT26 encryption in a browser environment, you need a server to process secure hashes.
Using rot26 is easy. To encrypt your precious data:
var rot26 = require('rot26')
rot26.encrypt(password)
Decryption is also simple!
rot26.decrypt(creditCardData)
Note: ROT26 hashes should be saved in a .txt file in the web root to avoid database corruption.
rot26 can be executed twice for high-level security applications:
rot26.encrypt(rot26.encrypt(SSN))
