It provides a machine abstraction and hardware-agnostic instruction sets, where a high-level programming language can target the compilation to the Wasm instead of specific hardware architecture. The JavaScript engine implements the Wasm specification and recompiles the Wasm instruction to the target machine instruction where the program is executed. Technically, Wasm is similar to a popular virtual machine bytecode, such as Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). -

Javascript API Deprecation in the Wild: a First Assessment
JavaScript API Deprecation in the Wild: A First Assessment Romulo Nascimento, Aline Brito, Andre Hora, Eduardo Figueiredo Department of Computer Science Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil romulonascimento, alinebrito, andrehora,figueiredo @dcc.ufmg.br { } Abstract—Building an application using third-party libraries of our knowledge, there are no detailed studies regarding API is a common practice in software development. As any other deprecation in the JavaScript ecosystem. software system, code libraries and their APIs evolve over JavaScript has become extremely popular over the last years. time. In order to help version migration and ensure backward According to the Stack Overflow 2019 Developer Survey1, compatibility, a recommended practice during development is to deprecate API. Although studies have been conducted to JavaScript is the most popular programming language in this investigate deprecation in some programming languages, such as platform for the seventh consecutive year. GitHub also reports Java and C#, there are no detailed studies on API deprecation that JavaScript is the most popular language in terms of unique in the JavaScript ecosystem. This paper provides an initial contributors to both public and private repositories2. The npm assessment of API deprecation in JavaScript by analyzing 50 platform, the largest JavaScript package manager, states on popular software projects. Initial results suggest that the use of 3 deprecation mechanisms in JavaScript packages is low. However, their latest survey that 99% of JavaScript developers rely on wefindfive different ways that developers use to deprecate API npm to ease the management of their project dependencies. in the studied projects. Among these solutions, deprecation utility This survey also points out the massive growth in npm usage (i.e., any sort of function specially written to aid deprecation) and that started about 5 years ago. -

Executing malware Background: Drive-by Downloads Background: Drive-by Downloads Setup: Making the prototype null while in the prototype creates a pointer to something random in the heap. Background: Drive-by Downloads Environment: gc( ) is a function call specific to Firefox, so the attacker would want to spray the heap with an exploit specific to firefox. Background: Drive-by Downloads Obfuscation: If the browser executing the javascript it firefox,the code will proceed to the return statement. Any other browser will exit with an error due to an unrecognized call to gc( ). Background: Drive-by Downloads Download: The return will be to a random location in the heap and due to heap-spraying it will cause shell code to be executed. Background: Goal of Our Project ● The goal is to decode obfuscated scripts by triggering javascript events ● The problem is when triggering events, some errors, resulting from disparity of different engines or some other reasons, may occur and terminate the progress ● We need to find ways to eliminate the errors and Ex 1therefore generate more de-obfuscated scripts <script> function f(){ //some codes gc(); var x=unescape(‘%u4149%u1982%u90 […]’)); eval(x); } </script> Ex 2 <script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/jquery/jquery.js"></script> Project Overview - Part One ● Modify WebKit engine so that it can generate error informations. -
Time-Travel Debugging for Javascript/Node.Js
Time-Travel Debugging for JavaScript/Node.js Earl T. Barr Mark Marron Ed Maurer University College London, UK Microsoft Research, USA Microsoft, USA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Dan Moseley Gaurav Seth Microsoft, USA Microsoft, USA [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Time-traveling in the execution history of a program during de- bugging enables a developer to precisely track and understand the sequence of statements and program values leading to an error. To provide this functionality to real world developers, we embarked on a two year journey to create a production quality time-traveling de- bugger in Microsoft’s open-source ChakraCore JavaScript engine and the popular Node.js application framework.

Investigating Reason As a Substitute for Javascript
DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING, FIRST CYCLE, 15 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2020 Investigating Reason as a substitute for JavaScript AXEL PETTERSSON KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Investigation of Reason as a substitute for JavaScript AXEL PETTERSSON Degree Programme in Information and Communication Technology Date: June 4, 2020 Supervisor: Thomas Sjöland Examiner: Johan Montelius School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Host company: Slagkryssaren AB Swedish title: Undersökning av Reason som ett substitut till JavaScript Investigation of Reason as a substitute for JavaScript / Undersökning av Reason som ett substitut till JavaScript c 2020 Axel Pettersson Abstract | i Abstract JavaScript has in recent years become one of the most utilized programming languages for developing different kinds of applications. However, even though it has received a lot of praise for its simplicity, versatility and highly active community, it lacks some functionalities and features that a lot of programmers highly value, like static and strict typing, compile-time debugging, and to not be required to make use of third-party libraries to integrate crucial functionality. However, several new languages built on top of JavaScript have been developed to address and resolve these issues developers find with JavaScript without losing the benefits that come with it. One of these super- set languages is Reason, the new syntax and toolchain powered by the OCaml compiler. This thesis aims to address whether there are scenarios where Reason could act as a reasonable substitute of JavaScript by investigating how the languages compare in regards to different criteria. The criteria examined are writability, data structures and typing, reliability and testing, community support, market demand, portability, and performance. -

This new architecture addresses some of the privacy and security related problems associated with third-party extensions running within web application platforms. A proof-of-concept showing how the Virtual Faraday Cage could be implemented is described. This new architecture aims to help solve some of the key security and privacy con- cerns for end-users in web applications by creating a mechanism by which a third-party could create an extension that works with end-user data, but which could never leak such information back to the third-party.
