This course is your guide for securing Node.js applications. You'll start by properly sanitizing user input and output, and then move on to some fundamental protocols, such as HTTPS and SHA. Passwords and encryption will be discussed next. More specifically, you will learn about different hashing algorithms and protecting your application from brute force attacks.

Following that, you'll explore concepts like authentication, access control, and obfuscation. You will also learn about XSS, CSRF, and other popular hacks near the end of the course.

By the end of this course, you will know how to secure a Node.js application, an in-demand skill to put on your resume!

A Guide to Securing Node.js Applications

## Storytime
Chris is a junior developer working for Marvel Comics. His team has been tasked with building the login functionality for the new web/tablet comic portal.

Chris plans out the login system. It possesses all expected aspects: login, logout, forgot password, etc. For the passwords, he needs to store a user’s password, compare it with the login, and then email it back to the user if they forget it. As he thinks through each part of the process, he worries about the security. Users passwords may be available to anyone who has, or gains, access to the database. He must encrypt the passwords. But what about decrypting for login? Or when a user forgets their password?
