## What it is
A collection of public security research notes by ChALkeR, stored on GitHub in lieu of a blog. It covers vulnerability writeups on npm, Yarn, Travis CI, Bitbucket, and Node.js APIs.

## Use cases
- learn about npm credential leaks and supply chain risks
- read vulnerability writeups on Yarn and Travis CI
- understand Node.js Buffer API security issues
- research package manager security weaknesses
- study real-world web security disclosures

## When to choose
- you want curated real-world security case studies around the Node.js and npm ecosystem
- you are researching historical vulnerabilities in package managers and CI services

## When to avoid
- you need a tool or library rather than written notes
- you need up-to-date research - the notes end in 2019

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, vulnerability-scanning, developer-tools
- domain: security, developer-tools, backend
- platform: cli
- tags: security-notes, npm-security, vulnerability-disclosure, writeups, supply-chain-security, nodejs
