Techniques to Secure your Rails app
Jeremy Walker recently posted part 1 of his three part series talking about techniques to secure your Rails website. He talks about a few ways hackers can manipulate data before it hits your server, how Rails protects us from most of these situations, and thow you can protect yourself further.
