eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y vs PortScannerLabs

eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y is a free MIT-licensed package that uses ESLint to statically inspect JSX for accessibility issues in React applications. Its rules cover alternative text, ARIA properties, values, roles and requirements, labels, keyboard access, and captions for audio and video. It can flag clickable non-interactive elements without keyboard listeners and interactive handlers on elements that are not focusable. Recommended and strict configurations are documented for legacy .eslintrc files and flat eslint.config.js files. Configuration can map custom component names to DOM element types and DOM attributes to JSX properties, allowing those abstractions to be checked. An optional polymorphicPropName setting is supported, although the project warns that polymorphic components can be harder to maintain. Installation instructions cover npm and Yarn and require ESLint. The plugin analyzes static code rather than rendered DOM. Its maintainers recommend pairing it with @axe-core/react and assistive-technology testing. It has no manual review tools, mobile testing, browser extension, or remediation guidance. The repository links to Tidelift for professional support.

PortScannerLabs is a free cloud web tool for checking an IP address or domain for common open, closed, or filtered network ports. It flags risky exposures and separates port state from risk level, with links to guidance about the service and ways to close it. The scanner uses nmap with service and version detection for open ports. A default scan checks 12 common TCP ports, including SSH, Telnet, MySQL, RDP, HTTP, and HTTPS. Leaving the target blank scans the user’s public IP as seen from outside the network. Scans with version detection can take up to 15 seconds. No account, signup, or installation is required. The site describes the tool for home and small-business users, IT administrators, developers, gamers, and self-hosters. Users must confirm authorization before scanning another target. PortScannerLabs rate-limits scans and restricts full-range scanning of arbitrary targets for anonymous users. It says it retains only minimal technical logs needed to operate the service and prevent abuse, and does not sell personal data. The Free port scanner costs nothing.
