Free e-Book on Ruby on Rails security (and web apps in general)

   Heiko Webers has released a new version of a PDF-format book, "Ruby
on Rails Security Version 2," focused on improving the security of
web-based applications built using Rails:

   http://www.rorsecurity.info/the-book/

   Although much of the book is Rails-specific, many of the
vulnerabilities and corresponding exploits it describes are generic
to web-based applications. (For instance, a number of the
vulnerabilities discussed are JavaScript-based.) There's also a
brief, non-Rails-specific section on MySQL security.

   This is just one instance of an online resource covering the topic
of web application security. Other members of this list are
cordially invited to share similar resources ...
