OWASP 2025 Top 10 Adds Software Supply Chain Failures, Ranked Top Community Concern
OWASP’s 2025 Top 10 introduces Software Supply Chain Failures as a new category, reflecting rising concern over dependency and build system risks.
a native js function for hashing messages with the SHA-1 algorithm
npm install sha1
or
ender build sha1
var sha1 = require('sha1');
sha1("message");
This will return the string:
"6f9b9af3cd6e8b8a73c2cdced37fe9f59226e27d"
Returns the SHA-1 hash of the given message.
msg String -- the message that you want to hash.It's as simple as that.
This function is taken from CryptoJS. This package only provides easy access to a javascript-only version of the SHA-1 algorithm over npm.

The 'crypto' module is a built-in Node.js module that provides cryptographic functionality, including a variety of hash algorithms like SHA-1, SHA-256, and more. It is more versatile and widely used compared to the sha1 package.
The 'sha.js' package is a simple implementation of the SHA family of hash functions, including SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. It offers more options and flexibility compared to the sha1 package.
The 'js-sha1' package is a JavaScript implementation of the SHA-1 hash function. It is lightweight and can be used in both Node.js and browser environments, making it more versatile than the sha1 package.
