lusca

Web application security middleware.

Usage

var express = require('express'),
	app = express(),
	lusca = require('lusca');

app.use(lusca({
    csrf: true,
    csp: { /* ... */},
    xframe: 'SAMEORIGIN',
    p3p: 'ABCDEF',
    hsts: {maxAge: 31536000, includeSubDomains: true},
    xssProtection: true
}));

Setting any value to false will disable it. Alternately, you can opt into methods one by one:

app.use(lusca.csrf());
app.use(lusca.csp({ /* ... */}));
app.use(lusca.xframe('SAMEORIGIN'));
app.use(lusca.p3p('ABCDEF'));
app.use(lusca.hsts({ maxAge: 31536000 });
app.use(lusca.xssProtection(true);
