When using AppSensor, an application will be able to identify malicious users within the application and eliminate the threat by taking response action such as logging out the user, locking the account or notifying an administrator. An attacker often requires numerous probes and attack attempts in order to locate an exploitable vulnerability within the application. By using AppSensor it is possible to identify and eliminate the threat of an attacker before they are able to successfully identify an exploitable flaw. < Less

This project is helpful as basic reference material when performing such activities as threat modeling, security... More > architecture review, security testing, code review, and metrics. We intend to encourage understanding and consistency when discussing these basic foundational elements of application security. Security only works if people can make informed decisions about risk. The ASDR provides that basic information to help ensure all stakeholders are involved.

The last security guide for Rails was a great success, with a lot of more secure web applications and continued awareness in... More > the community of security issues. The Ruby on Rails Security Project is the one and only source of information about Rails security topics, and I keep the community up-to-date with blog posts and conference talks in Europe. The Guide and the Project has been mentioned in several Rails books and web-sites.

A lot has changed since the publishing of the first Guide. Some new security holes have been found, there are new advises and most importantly Rails version 2.0 has been released. The new Ruby on Rails Security Guide aims at providing an up-to-date coding and configuration guide for the Rails community.
