Metasploit VS Brakeman

Metasploit: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework

1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)

It's using the metasploit framework https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework

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.

Well, what is considered "real" data here? Why couldn't you simply set up a managed k8s cluster with some prometheus monitoring and run the microservices-demo on it. There is even a synthetic load generator. You could purposefully add in specific kinds of faults into the working system, ones that are supported in metasploit so you can automate intrusions. Consider some goals for gaining access like: exfiltration, denial of service, ransomware. Then consider how you might detect such attacks purely from what you can read out of the prometheus time series data (eg. high egress traffic plus high req/s to redis might mean an exfiltration).

If only there was already a tool which is a consolidated Swiss army knife of security utilities.

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.

To see a complete list of checks ran by Brakeman, you can find them over here: List of Brakeman Checks

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:

A while ago, I came across a Brakeman false positive that I wanted to fix.

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)
