-#### Safer Node.js Buffer API
-
-**Use the new Node.js Buffer APIs (`Buffer.from`, `Buffer.alloc`,
-`Buffer.allocUnsafe`, `Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow`) in all versions of Node.js.**
-
-**Uses the built-in implementation when available.**
-
-## install
-
-```
-npm install safe-buffer
-```
-
-## usage
-
-The goal of this package is to provide a safe replacement for the node.js `Buffer`.
-
-It's a drop-in replacement for `Buffer`. You can use it by adding one `require` line to
-the top of your node.js modules:
-
-```js
-var Buffer = require('safe-buffer').Buffer
-
-// Existing buffer code will continue to work without issues:
-
-new Buffer('hey', 'utf8')
-new Buffer([1, 2, 3], 'utf8')
-new Buffer(obj)
-new Buffer(16) // create an uninitialized buffer (potentially unsafe)
-
-// But you can use these new explicit APIs to make clear what you want:
-
-Buffer.from('hey', 'utf8') // convert from many types to a Buffer
-Buffer.alloc(16) // create a zero-filled buffer (safe)
-Buffer.allocUnsafe(16) // create an uninitialized buffer (potentially unsafe)
-```
-
-## api
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.from(array)
-<!-- YAML
-added: v3.0.0
--->
-
-* `array` {Array}
-
-Allocates a new `Buffer` using an `array` of octets.
-
-```js
-const buf = Buffer.from([0x62,0x75,0x66,0x66,0x65,0x72]);
-  // creates a new Buffer containing ASCII bytes
-  // ['b','u','f','f','e','r']
-```
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `array` is not an `Array`.
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])
-<!-- YAML
-added: v5.10.0
--->
-
-* `arrayBuffer` {ArrayBuffer} The `.buffer` property of a `TypedArray` or
-  a `new ArrayBuffer()`
-* `byteOffset` {Number} Default: `0`
-* `length` {Number} Default: `arrayBuffer.length - byteOffset`
-
-When passed a reference to the `.buffer` property of a `TypedArray` instance,
-the newly created `Buffer` will share the same allocated memory as the
-TypedArray.
-
-```js
-const arr = new Uint16Array(2);
-arr[0] = 5000;
-arr[1] = 4000;
-
-const buf = Buffer.from(arr.buffer); // shares the memory with arr;
-
-console.log(buf);
-  // Prints: <Buffer 88 13 a0 0f>
-
-// changing the TypedArray changes the Buffer also
-arr[1] = 6000;
-
-console.log(buf);
-  // Prints: <Buffer 88 13 70 17>
-```
-
-The optional `byteOffset` and `length` arguments specify a memory range within
-the `arrayBuffer` that will be shared by the `Buffer`.
-
-```js
-const ab = new ArrayBuffer(10);
-const buf = Buffer.from(ab, 0, 2);
-console.log(buf.length);
-  // Prints: 2
-```
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `arrayBuffer` is not an `ArrayBuffer`.
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.from(buffer)
-<!-- YAML
-added: v3.0.0
--->
-
-* `buffer` {Buffer}
-
-Copies the passed `buffer` data onto a new `Buffer` instance.
-
-```js
-const buf1 = Buffer.from('buffer');
-const buf2 = Buffer.from(buf1);
-
-buf1[0] = 0x61;
-console.log(buf1.toString());
-  // 'auffer'
-console.log(buf2.toString());
-  // 'buffer' (copy is not changed)
-```
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `buffer` is not a `Buffer`.
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.from(str[, encoding])
-<!-- YAML
-added: v5.10.0
--->
-
-* `str` {String} String to encode.
-* `encoding` {String} Encoding to use, Default: `'utf8'`
-
-Creates a new `Buffer` containing the given JavaScript string `str`. If
-provided, the `encoding` parameter identifies the character encoding.
-If not provided, `encoding` defaults to `'utf8'`.
-
-```js
-const buf1 = Buffer.from('this is a tést');
-console.log(buf1.toString());
-  // prints: this is a tést
-console.log(buf1.toString('ascii'));
-  // prints: this is a tC)st
-
-const buf2 = Buffer.from('7468697320697320612074c3a97374', 'hex');
-console.log(buf2.toString());
-  // prints: this is a tést
-```
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `str` is not a string.
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])
-<!-- YAML
-added: v5.10.0
--->
-
-* `size` {Number}
-* `fill` {Value} Default: `undefined`
-* `encoding` {String} Default: `utf8`
-
-Allocates a new `Buffer` of `size` bytes. If `fill` is `undefined`, the
-`Buffer` will be *zero-filled*.
-
-```js
-const buf = Buffer.alloc(5);
-console.log(buf);
-  // <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00>
-```
-
-The `size` must be less than or equal to the value of
-`require('buffer').kMaxLength` (on 64-bit architectures, `kMaxLength` is
-`(2^31)-1`). Otherwise, a [`RangeError`][] is thrown. A zero-length Buffer will
-be created if a `size` less than or equal to 0 is specified.
-
-If `fill` is specified, the allocated `Buffer` will be initialized by calling
-`buf.fill(fill)`. See [`buf.fill()`][] for more information.
-
-```js
-const buf = Buffer.alloc(5, 'a');
-console.log(buf);
-  // <Buffer 61 61 61 61 61>
-```
-
-If both `fill` and `encoding` are specified, the allocated `Buffer` will be
-initialized by calling `buf.fill(fill, encoding)`. For example:
-
-```js
-const buf = Buffer.alloc(11, 'aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=', 'base64');
-console.log(buf);
-  // <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>
-```
-
-Calling `Buffer.alloc(size)` can be significantly slower than the alternative
-`Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)` but ensures that the newly created `Buffer` instance
-contents will *never contain sensitive data*.
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `size` is not a number.
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)
-<!-- YAML
-added: v5.10.0
--->
-
-* `size` {Number}
-
-Allocates a new *non-zero-filled* `Buffer` of `size` bytes.  The `size` must
-be less than or equal to the value of `require('buffer').kMaxLength` (on 64-bit
-architectures, `kMaxLength` is `(2^31)-1`). Otherwise, a [`RangeError`][] is
-thrown. A zero-length Buffer will be created if a `size` less than or equal to
-0 is specified.
-
-The underlying memory for `Buffer` instances created in this way is *not
-initialized*. The contents of the newly created `Buffer` are unknown and
-*may contain sensitive data*. Use [`buf.fill(0)`][] to initialize such
-`Buffer` instances to zeroes.
-
-```js
-const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(5);
-console.log(buf);
-  // <Buffer 78 e0 82 02 01>
-  // (octets will be different, every time)
-buf.fill(0);
-console.log(buf);
-  // <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00>
-```
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `size` is not a number.
-
-Note that the `Buffer` module pre-allocates an internal `Buffer` instance of
-size `Buffer.poolSize` that is used as a pool for the fast allocation of new
-`Buffer` instances created using `Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)` (and the deprecated
-`new Buffer(size)` constructor) only when `size` is less than or equal to
-`Buffer.poolSize >> 1` (floor of `Buffer.poolSize` divided by two). The default
-value of `Buffer.poolSize` is `8192` but can be modified.
-
-Use of this pre-allocated internal memory pool is a key difference between
-calling `Buffer.alloc(size, fill)` vs. `Buffer.allocUnsafe(size).fill(fill)`.
-Specifically, `Buffer.alloc(size, fill)` will *never* use the internal Buffer
-pool, while `Buffer.allocUnsafe(size).fill(fill)` *will* use the internal
-Buffer pool if `size` is less than or equal to half `Buffer.poolSize`. The
-difference is subtle but can be important when an application requires the
-additional performance that `Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)` provides.
-
-### Class Method: Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(size)
-<!-- YAML
-added: v5.10.0
--->
-
-* `size` {Number}
-
-Allocates a new *non-zero-filled* and non-pooled `Buffer` of `size` bytes.  The
-`size` must be less than or equal to the value of
-`require('buffer').kMaxLength` (on 64-bit architectures, `kMaxLength` is
-`(2^31)-1`). Otherwise, a [`RangeError`][] is thrown. A zero-length Buffer will
-be created if a `size` less than or equal to 0 is specified.
-
-The underlying memory for `Buffer` instances created in this way is *not
-initialized*. The contents of the newly created `Buffer` are unknown and
-*may contain sensitive data*. Use [`buf.fill(0)`][] to initialize such
-`Buffer` instances to zeroes.
-
-When using `Buffer.allocUnsafe()` to allocate new `Buffer` instances,
-allocations under 4KB are, by default, sliced from a single pre-allocated
-`Buffer`. This allows applications to avoid the garbage collection overhead of
-creating many individually allocated Buffers. This approach improves both
-performance and memory usage by eliminating the need to track and cleanup as
-many `Persistent` objects.
-
-However, in the case where a developer may need to retain a small chunk of
-memory from a pool for an indeterminate amount of time, it may be appropriate
-to create an un-pooled Buffer instance using `Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow()` then
-copy out the relevant bits.
-
-```js
-// need to keep around a few small chunks of memory
-const store = [];
-
-socket.on('readable', () => {
-  const data = socket.read();
-  // allocate for retained data
-  const sb = Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(10);
-  // copy the data into the new allocation
-  data.copy(sb, 0, 0, 10);
-  store.push(sb);
-});
-```
-
-Use of `Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow()` should be used only as a last resort *after*
-a developer has observed undue memory retention in their applications.
-
-A `TypeError` will be thrown if `size` is not a number.
-
-### All the Rest
-
-The rest of the `Buffer` API is exactly the same as in node.js.
-[See the docs](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html).

-- [Node.js Enhancement Proposal: Buffer.from/Buffer.alloc/Buffer.zalloc/Buffer() soft-deprecate](https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/pull/4)
-
-## Why is `Buffer` unsafe?
-
-Today, the node.js `Buffer` constructor is overloaded to handle many different argument
-types like `String`, `Array`, `Object`, `TypedArrayView` (`Uint8Array`, etc.),
-`ArrayBuffer`, and also `Number`.
-
-The API is optimized for convenience: you can throw any type at it, and it will try to do
-what you want.
-
-Because the Buffer constructor is so powerful, you often see code like this:
-
-```js
-// Convert UTF-8 strings to hex
-function toHex (str) {
-  return new Buffer(str).toString('hex')
-}
-```
-
-***But what happens if `toHex` is called with a `Number` argument?***
-
-### Remote Memory Disclosure
-
-If an attacker can make your program call the `Buffer` constructor with a `Number`
-argument, then they can make it allocate uninitialized memory from the node.js process.
-This could potentially disclose TLS private keys, user data, or database passwords.
-
-When the `Buffer` constructor is passed a `Number` argument, it returns an
-**UNINITIALIZED** block of memory of the specified `size`. When you create a `Buffer` like
-this, you **MUST** overwrite the contents before returning it to the user.
-
-From the [node.js docs](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_new_buffer_size):
-
-> `new Buffer(size)`
->
-> - `size` Number
->
-> The underlying memory for `Buffer` instances created in this way is not initialized.
-> **The contents of a newly created `Buffer` are unknown and could contain sensitive
-> data.** Use `buf.fill(0)` to initialize a Buffer to zeroes.
-
-(Emphasis our own.)
-
-Whenever the programmer intended to create an uninitialized `Buffer` you often see code
-like this:
-
-```js
-var buf = new Buffer(16)
-
-// Immediately overwrite the uninitialized buffer with data from another buffer
-for (var i = 0; i < buf.length; i++) {
-  buf[i] = otherBuf[i]
-}
-```
-
-
-### Would this ever be a problem in real code?
-
-Yes. It's surprisingly common to forget to check the type of your variables in a
-dynamically-typed language like JavaScript.
-
-Usually the consequences of assuming the wrong type is that your program crashes with an
-uncaught exception. But the failure mode for forgetting to check the type of arguments to
-the `Buffer` constructor is more catastrophic.
-
-Here's an example of a vulnerable service that takes a JSON payload and converts it to
-hex:
-
-```js
-// Take a JSON payload {str: "some string"} and convert it to hex
-var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
-  var data = ''
-  req.setEncoding('utf8')
-  req.on('data', function (chunk) {
-    data += chunk
-  })
-  req.on('end', function () {
-    var body = JSON.parse(data)
-    res.end(new Buffer(body.str).toString('hex'))
-  })
-})
-
-server.listen(8080)
-```
-
-In this example, an http client just has to send:
-
-```json
-{
-  "str": 1000
-}
-```
-
-and it will get back 1,000 bytes of uninitialized memory from the server.
-
-This is a very serious bug. It's similar in severity to the
-[the Heartbleed bug](http://heartbleed.com/) that allowed disclosure of OpenSSL process
-memory by remote attackers.
-
-
-### Which real-world packages were vulnerable?
-
-#### [`bittorrent-dht`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bittorrent-dht)
-
-[Mathias Buus](https://github.com/mafintosh) and I
-([Feross Aboukhadijeh](http://feross.org/)) found this issue in one of our own packages,
-[`bittorrent-dht`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bittorrent-dht). The bug would allow
-anyone on the internet to send a series of messages to a user of `bittorrent-dht` and get
-them to reveal 20 bytes at a time of uninitialized memory from the node.js process.
-
-Here's
-[the commit](https://github.com/feross/bittorrent-dht/commit/6c7da04025d5633699800a99ec3fbadf70ad35b8)
-that fixed it. We released a new fixed version, created a
-[Node Security Project disclosure](https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/68), and deprecated all
-vulnerable versions on npm so users will get a warning to upgrade to a newer version.
-
-#### [`ws`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws)
-
-That got us wondering if there were other vulnerable packages. Sure enough, within a short
-period of time, we found the same issue in [`ws`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws), the
-most popular WebSocket implementation in node.js.
-
-If certain APIs were called with `Number` parameters instead of `String` or `Buffer` as
-expected, then uninitialized server memory would be disclosed to the remote peer.
-
-These were the vulnerable methods:
-
-```js
-socket.send(number)
-socket.ping(number)
-socket.pong(number)
-```
-
-Here's a vulnerable socket server with some echo functionality:
-
-```js
-server.on('connection', function (socket) {
-  socket.on('message', function (message) {
-    message = JSON.parse(message)
-    if (message.type === 'echo') {
-      socket.send(message.data) // send back the user's message
-    }
-  })
-})
-```
-
-`socket.send(number)` called on the server, will disclose server memory.
-
-Here's [the release](https://github.com/websockets/ws/releases/tag/1.0.1) where the issue
-was fixed, with a more detailed explanation. Props to
-[Arnout Kazemier](https://github.com/3rd-Eden) for the quick fix. Here's the
-[Node Security Project disclosure](https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/67).
-
-
-### What's the solution?
-
-It's important that node.js offers a fast way to get memory otherwise performance-critical
-applications would needlessly get a lot slower.
-
-But we need a better way to *signal our intent* as programmers. **When we want
-uninitialized memory, we should request it explicitly.**
-
-Sensitive functionality should not be packed into a developer-friendly API that loosely
-accepts many different types. This type of API encourages the lazy practice of passing
-variables in without checking the type very carefully.
-
-#### A new API: `Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)`
-
-The functionality of creating buffers with uninitialized memory should be part of another
-API. We propose `Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)`. This way, it's not part of an API that
-frequently gets user input of all sorts of different types passed into it.
-
-```js
-var buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(16) // careful, uninitialized memory!
-
-// Immediately overwrite the uninitialized buffer with data from another buffer
-for (var i = 0; i < buf.length; i++) {
-  buf[i] = otherBuf[i]
-}
-```
-
-
-### How do we fix node.js core?
-
-We sent [a PR to node.js core](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4514) (merged as
-`semver-major`) which defends against one case:
-
-```js
-var str = 16
-new Buffer(str, 'utf8')
-```
-
-In this situation, it's implied that the programmer intended the first argument to be a
-string, since they passed an encoding as a second argument. Today, node.js will allocate
-uninitialized memory in the case of `new Buffer(number, encoding)`, which is probably not
-what the programmer intended.
-
-But this is only a partial solution, since if the programmer does `new Buffer(variable)`
-(without an `encoding` parameter) there's no way to know what they intended. If `variable`
-is sometimes a number, then uninitialized memory will sometimes be returned.
-
-### What's the real long-term fix?
-
-We could deprecate and remove `new Buffer(number)` and use `Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)` when
-we need uninitialized memory. But that would break 1000s of packages.
-
-~~We believe the best solution is to:~~
-
-~~1. Change `new Buffer(number)` to return safe, zeroed-out memory~~
-
-~~2. Create a new API for creating uninitialized Buffers. We propose: `Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)`~~
-
-#### Update
-
-We now support adding three new APIs:
-
-- `Buffer.from(value)` - convert from any type to a buffer
-- `Buffer.alloc(size)` - create a zero-filled buffer
-- `Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)` - create an uninitialized buffer with given size
-
-This solves the core problem that affected `ws` and `bittorrent-dht` which is
-`Buffer(variable)` getting tricked into taking a number argument.
-
-This way, existing code continues working and the impact on the npm ecosystem will be
-minimal. Over time, npm maintainers can migrate performance-critical code to use
-`Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)` instead of `new Buffer(number)`.
-
-
-### Conclusion
-
-We think there's a serious design issue with the `Buffer` API as it exists today. It
-promotes insecure software by putting high-risk functionality into a convenient API
-with friendly "developer ergonomics".
-
-This wasn't merely a theoretical exercise because we found the issue in some of the
-most popular npm packages.
-
-Fortunately, there's an easy fix that can be applied today. Use `safe-buffer` in place of
-`buffer`.
-
-```js
-var Buffer = require('safe-buffer').Buffer
-```
-
-Eventually, we hope that node.js core can switch to this new, safer behavior. We believe
-the impact on the ecosystem would be minimal since it's not a breaking change.
-Well-maintained, popular packages would be updated to use `Buffer.alloc` quickly, while
-older, insecure packages would magically become safe from this attack vector.
