"Node.js is a JavaScript tool that allows developers to write backend (server-side) programs in JavaScript. Node.js comes with a handful of built-in modules&mdash;small, independent programs&mdash;that help facilitate this purpose. Some of the core modules include:<br><br><ul><li>HTTP: a module that acts as a server</li><li>File System: a module that reads and modifies files</li><li>Path: a module for working with directory and file paths</li><li>Assertion Testing: a module that checks code against prescribed constraints</li></ul><br>Express, while not included with Node.js, is another module often used with it. Express runs between the server created by Node.js and the frontend pages of a web application. Express also handles an application's routing. Routing directs users to the correct page based on their interaction with the application.<br><br>While there are alternatives to using Express, its simplicity makes it a good place to begin when learning the interaction between a backend powered by Node.js and the frontend.",

"MongoDB is a database that stores data records (documents) for use by an application. Mongo is a non-relational, \"NoSQL\" database. This means Mongo stores all data associated within one record, instead of storing it across many preset tables as in a SQL database. Some benefits of this storage model are:<br><br><ul><li>Scalability: by default, non-relational databases are split (or \"sharded\") across many systems instead of only one. This makes it easier to improve performance at a lower cost.</li><li>Flexibility: new datasets and properties can be added to a document without the need to make a new table for that data.</li><li>Replication: copies of the database run in parallel so if one goes down, one of the copies becomes the new primary data source.</li></ul><br>While there are many non-relational databases, Mongo's use of JSON as its document storage structure makes it a logical choice when learning backend JavaScript. Accessing documents and their properties is like accessing objects in JavaScript.<br><br>Mongoose.js is an npm module for Node.js that allows you to write objects for Mongo as you would in JavaScript. This can make is easier to construct documents for storage in Mongo.",

"The final part of the strategy is handling the profile returned from Github. We need to load the users database object if it exists or create one if it doesn't and populate the fields from the profile, then return the user's object. Github supplies us a unique <em>id</em> within each profile which we can use to search with to serialize the user with (already implemented). Below is an example implementation you can use in your project- it goes within the function that is the second argument for the new strategy, right below the <code>console.log(profile);</code> currently is:",
"<pre>db.collection('socialusers').findAndModify(\n {id: profile.id},\n {},\n {$setOnInsert:{\n id: profile.id,\n name: profile.displayName || 'John Doe',\n photo: profile.photos[0].value || '',\n email: profile.emails[0].value || 'No public email',\n created_on: new Date(),\n provider: profile.provider || ''\n },$set:{\n last_login: new Date()\n },$inc:{\n login_count: 1\n }},\n {upsert:true, new: true},\n (err, doc) => {\n return cb(null, doc.value);\n }\n);</pre>",
"With a findAndModify, it allows you to search for an object and update it, as well as upsert the object if it doesn't exist and receive the new object back each time in our callback function. In this example, we always set the last_login as now, we always increment the login_count by 1, and only when we insert a new object(new user) do we populate the majority of the fields. Something to notice also is the use of default values. Sometimes a profile returned won't have all the information filled out or it will have been chosen by the user to remain private; so in this case we have to handle it to prevent an error.",

"To improve performance, most browsers prefetch DNS records for the links in a page. In that way the destination ip is already known when the user clicks on a link. This may lead to over-use of the DNS service (if you own a big website, visited by millions people…), privacy issues (one eavesdropper could infer that you are on a certain page), or page statistics alteration (some links may appear visited even if they are not). If you have high security needs you can disable DNS prefetching, at the cost of a performance penalty."

"This challenge highlights one promising new defense that can significantly reduce the risk and impact of many type of attacks in modern browsers. By setting and configuring a Content Security Policy you can prevent the injection of anything unintended into your page. This will protect your app from XSS vulnerabilities, undesired tracking, malicious frames, and much more. CSP works by defining a whitelist of content sources which are trusted. You can configure them for each kind of resource a web page may need (scripts, stylesheets, fonts, frames, media, and so on…). There are multiple directives available, so a website owner can have a granular control. See HTML 5 Rocks, KeyCDN for more details. Unfortunately CSP in unsupported by older browser.",
"By default, directives are wide open, so its important to set the defaultSrc directive as a fallback. Helmet supports both defaultSrc and default-src naming styles. The fallback applies for most of the unspecified directives. In this exercise, use helmet.contentSecurityPolicy(), and configure it setting the defaultSrc directive to [\"self\"] (the list of allowed sources must be in an array), in order to trust only your website address by default. Set also the scriptSrc directive so that you will allow scripts to be downloaded from your website, and from the domain 'trusted-cdn.com'.",
"Hint: in the \"'self'\" keyword, the single quotes are part of the keyword itself, so it needs to be enclosed in double quotes to be working."

"BCrypt hashes are very secure. A hash is basically a fingerprint of the original data- always unique. This is accomplished by feeding the original data into a algorithm and having returned a fixed length result. To further complicate this process and make it more secure, you can also <em>salt</em> your hash. Salting your hash involves adding random data to the original data before the hashing process which makes it even harder to crack the hash.",
"BCrypt hashes will always looks like <code>$2a$13$ZyprE5MRw2Q3WpNOGZWGbeG7ADUre1Q8QO.uUUtcbqloU0yvzavOm</code> which does have a structure. The first small bit of data <code>$2a</code> is defining what kind of hash algorithm was used. The next portion <code>$13</code> defines the <em>cost</em>. Cost is about how much power it takes to compute the hash. It is on a logarithmic scale of 2^cost and determines how many times the data is put through the hashing algorithm. For example, at a cost of 10 you are able to hash 10 passwords a second on an average computer, however at a cost of 15 it takes 3 seconds per hash... and to take it further, at a cost of 31 it would takes multiple days to complete a hash. A cost of 12 is considered very secure at this time. The last portion of your hash <code>$ZyprE5MRw2Q3WpNOGZWGbeG7ADUre1Q8QO.uUUtcbqloU0yvzavOm</code>, looks like 1 large string of numbers, periods, and letters but it is actually 2 seperate peices of infomation. The first 22 characters is the salt in plain text, and the rest is the hashed password!",
