Brakeman with Justin Collins: While the popular Ruby on Rails web framework provides built-in protection for many security vulnerabilities, it is still possible to misuse these features or introduce other vulnerabilities to an application. Brakeman is a static code analysis tool designed specifically to find vulnerabilities and configuration issues in Ruby on Rails applications. Since it works at the source code level, Brakeman can be used at any point in development without the need for deploying the full application stack. To make it even simpler, Brakeman can be integrated with Hudson/Jenkins to provide automatic monitoring of Brakeman results as code is committed. This talk will discuss how to use Brakeman and how it can help you create safer Rails applications.
