7. jQuery-Encoder

It is a jQuery plugin whose goal is to provide jQuery developers with a means to do contextual output encoding on untrusted data. As applications become more and more reliant on rich client technologies the need for client-side code to have the ability to properly escape untrusted data becomes exponentially more important.

8. ChronoStrength

It is a password strength checking plugin. However, rather than just saying “Too Weak” or “Strong”, which don’t really mean much, ChronoStrength displays how long it would take a regular desktop PC to crack the password using a brute-force attack. Seeing that their password would only take 30 seconds to crack might convince people to choose a more secure one!
