ronin VS Brakeman

No, it's just no longer over-hyped. Ruby is settling into being a mature production language, similar to Python, Java, .NET, C++, etc. As you can see from the RedMonk 2023 data Ruby is very much still alive with tons of repositories on GitHub. Besides Shopify, GitHub is another big Ruby/Rails shop. Also, besides Rails, there are other new and upcoming projects like Hanami, DragonRuby, and Ronin.

Not sure why this is posted today, but for the other kind of Ruby 'hacking' there's Ronin[1]

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.

Welcome! Ruby isn't exactly "dying", but the hype/popularity is definitely fading. This is primarily because Ruby is no longer "new", most of Ruby's popularity came from Rails, and now Rails is no longer the "new hotness". However, Ruby still has lots of awesome features and lots of awesome other libraries and frameworks, such as the new fancy irb gem that uses reline, nokogiri, chunky_png, the async gems, Dragon Ruby, SciRuby, Ronin, and the new Hanami web framework.

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)
