  • Why are there so many Rails related posts here?

    This is something that kind of annoys me; there's even a /r/rails sub-reddit specifically for Ruby on Rails stuff. Understandably Rails helped put Ruby on the map. Before Rails, Ruby was just another fringe language. Rails became massively popular, helped many startups quickly build their Web 2.0 sites, and become successful companies (ex: GitHub, LinkedIn, AirBnB, etc). Like others have said, "Rails is where the money is at". However, this posses a problem for the Ruby community: whenever Rails becomes less popular, so does Ruby. I wish the Ruby ecosystem wasn't so heavily centralized around Rails, and that we diversified our uses of Ruby a bit. There's of course Sinatra, dry-rb, Hanami, Dragon Ruby, SciRuby, and a dozen security tools written in Ruby such as Metasploit, BeFF, Arachni, and Ronin.

    Third-party registry: In this case, one of the methods could be social engineering, using tools like BeeF to create a specific phishing or fake page to get the login credentials and change the image to a new one with a known and exploitable vulnerability and wait for the deployment. One more thing is this is not magic or 100% successful. If the company scans the images in the deployment, it could be detected!

    I don't know much about it other than what I picked up in a Levelonetechs video, but look into the beef project since you do a little website development and the vector will be in the browser anyway.
