Help me open source ClubsAll - need a senior security engineer to review code
Hello everyone, We built clubsall, a frontend for federated content. Since the goal is to help build a reddit competitor, open sourcing is the logical next step.
However, without a review, I am afraid website could get hacked quickly.
Does someone with experience in scanning code for security issues or white hat hacking wants to help increase confidence so I can open source it?
You're viewing a single thread.
Obscurity is not security, so you could argue that you should just open source it anyway. Any security holes present are also there right now - the fact that the source code is not available is irrelevant.
But if you insist, it may help if you say what programming language is used.
OP mentioned typescript, next, React in another comment, but no backend language
Yea - when it comes to a security review, it's really the backend that matters the most though.
Agreed. Open source it and let everyone review it.
But even if you don't have experience, it's easy to gain. Start with OWASP, find some static code analysis tools, and run fuzzers. It's a good start.
Typescript, Next, Cloudflare
TypeScript for the backend too? Sorry, can't help with that. But I'd say just open source it anyway.
I already mentioned those in another comment (https://lemmy.world/comment/12877250) with React as well, but those are all frontend languages.
Which languages was used for the backend?
You can write backbends in Typescript, It's what the *keys use.
Thanks, I didn't know
