What this system is

Features

Add Python and Go libraries to access the naughty strings list

The repository now provides native libraries for Python and Go to programmatically access the list of naughty strings. The Python package exposes a \\naughty\_strings()\\ function that reads from \\blns.txt\\, while the Go package embeds the JSON data via \\go-bindata\\ and exposes \\Base64Encoded()\\ and \\Unencoded()\\ functions. A Makefile is also added to automate the generation of the Go resource file.

Add scripts to convert blns.txt into Base64 and JSON formats

Two new utility scripts are introduced to process the 'Big List of Naughty Strings' (blns.txt). The Bash script (texttobase64.sh) converts each non-comment line into Base64, while the Python script (txt\_to\_json.py) transforms the list into a JSON file, handling trailing newlines and comments appropriately.

Behavioural changes

Regenerate internal resource.go with updated test data

The internal resource.go file has been regenerated, embedding updated base64-encoded test data from blns.base64.json and blns.json. This update ensures the internal package has the latest string resources for testing purposes.

Dependencies

Added Go module and package.json manifests

Added go.mod to define the Go module path for the naughtystrings package, and added a package.json to provide metadata for the project in a Node.js/JavaScript context. These changes establish the project's dependency and build configuration for both Go and JavaScript ecosystems.

Survey your own repository

minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings was measured the same way every project in this corpus was: the same rubric, at a pinned commit, with the result published in full. Point a surveyor at a repository you know and see whether you agree with it.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 26 September 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit db33ec7b1d5d9616a88c76394b7d0897bd0b97eb — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.15 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-09659c52afae.
