Hello, I'm Daniel from DeveloperDan.com

I'm a Software Engineer with over 10 years professional experiance working at all levels of the stack. Below are a couple of my more recent open source projects. Please feel free to have a discussion with me if you have any questions, or perhaps checkout my website which has more of my historical projects and open source contributions.

Projects

Blocklist Tools

Search popular domain and host formatted blocklists for specific entries. The search is performed against all available versions of the lists, so not only will you discover which lists contain the entry, but also when it was added to the list (and also optionally removed). Currently, it has over 16 million unique and valid domains sourced from over 50,000 list versions containing over 5.6 billion entries.

PHP Version Audit

PHP Version Audit is a convenience tool to easily check a given PHP version against a regularly updated list of CVE exploits, new releases, and end of life dates. CVE lists and PHP release information are automatically scanned twice a day (via Github Actions) to ensure any new patches are found quickly and reported. PHP Version Audit was specifcally designed with automation in mind and would fit perfect in a CI/CD pipeline.

Node Version Audit

Node Version Audit is a convenience tool to easily check a given Node.js version against a regularly updated list of CVE exploits, new releases, and end of life dates. CVE lists and Node.js release information are automatically scanned twice a day (via Github Actions) to ensure any new patches are found quickly and reported. Node Version Audit was specifcally designed with automation in mind and would fit perfect in a CI/CD pipeline.

foscam-client's Issues

MAC address may be returned as "Infinity"

The XML contains the MAC address but the parsed response contains "Infinity"

I suspect the MAC address is being parsed as a number or converted in some way...

Config setters should accept a config object

I just accidentally overwrote my motion detection config because I only passed one arg to .setMotionDetectConfig(). Accepting an object would allow the user to get the config from the getter, update a specific config item, then pass that object back to the setter.

H.264 streaming

This looks really good. I'm kicking around the idea of creating a modern web frontend to replace Foscam's awful plugin-based interface.

Does their API support full video streaming? Only thing I could find in the docs was getMJStream(), which seems like it would be of much lower quality than an actual video stream.

Android SDK

Do you know if there is any updated SDK for Android? I've found the ZIP file hosted in this repository, but the source code it's pretty buggy and crashes every time.

Thanks for sharing this, amazing work.
