Brakeman VS bearer

Brakeman - “Brakeman detects security vulnerabilities in Ruby on Rails applications via static analysis”

My team and I released Bearer a couple of weeks ago, a newer open and free alternative to Brakeman to check your code for security and privacy risks. In addition to Ruby/Rails, we also cover your JS/TS code, which allows you to use a single solution for your whole Rails application.

Brakeman is a static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications. It finds potential security issues in Rails applications by examining the Ruby code. Brakeman helps find and fix security holes before deploying your Rails app.

brakeman is another useful Ruby gem that is a static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications.

It’s assumed that you already have a Rails app and use Brakeman to keep your app secure and Rspec to run your test cases.

Another great lib for this is Brakeman, which can be installed in a very similar process and gives you even more detailed reports:

This is pretty easy to handle. In the case where a splatted array is the only argument to a method, we'll simply use the elements of the array as the argument list. (Check out the pull request here)

Hi HN,

I’m Guillaume, the cofounder of Bearer, an Open Source SAST solution.

After launching a few weeks ago here on Hacker News with support for Ruby and JavaScript stacks, I’m happy to report we’ve just released a new version (v1.2) with TypeScript support!

In terms of code coverage, we use the same rules already implemented for vanilla JavaScript, but as usual, you can build your own.

The rules list is here: https://docs.bearer.com/reference/rules/

It’s a first version for TS, but we believe that thanks to the pre-existing JavaScript support it should already provide good insights.

If you have some TypeScript code, we would love for you to try it out and let us know in the comment below or on our Discord your experience and how we can improve the findings.

You can access the repo here: https://github.com/Bearer/bearer

Thank you again!

It can be challenging to keep up with security best practices. In addition to watching for vulnerability reports, you can also run regular scans on your codebase with a SAST tool like Bearer CLI. It's a free and secure way to get practical security feedback on your ruby code. Check it out on GitHub at bearer/bearer.

Using open-source tools to test open-source projects feels like a great match. It wasn't until the other day that I remembered that the team behind DEV had open-sourced the bones of the site as Forem. To make it an even better match, the stack matches up nicely with the currently supported languages included in Bearer's new free and open-source security application security testing (SAST) tool. Unlike many security tools, this one is really focused on helping devs make sense of security concerns in an actionable way.

Good news! There’s a free open-source tool that can scan your code, check for known risks, and give you a list of things that need fixing. All are sorted by how risky the code is—based on things like how sensitive the data is and how damaging a breach or leak would be. It’s called Bearer.
