heroku makes deployment easy.

Things that I sometimes run into are:

> Mismatched gem versions between local and production environment

> Some lessons learned:

»» Use image_tag helper each time

»» Specify root path in ENV variable

»» Configure assets pipeline by setting: config.assets.enabled = true in the config/application.rb file

Configure Capistrano script to precompile assets 

Frage 52. HOW CAN YOU SAFEGUARD A RAILS APPLICATION FROM SQL INJECTION ATTACK?

Rails already has the logic built into it to prevent SQL injection attacks if you follow the right syntax. 

Say you are trying to authenticate a user based on their login and password you might be tempted to use a syntax as below:

User.first("login = '#{params[:name]}' AND password = '#{params[:password]}'")

If an attacker enters ’ OR ‘1’=‘1 as the name, and ’ OR ’2’>’1 as the password, the resulting SQL query will be:

 SELECT * FROM users WHERE login = '' OR '1'='1' AND password = '' OR '2'>'1' LIMIT 1 

This will simply find the first record in the database, and grants access to this user.

To prevent this type of SQL injection simply use the following format.

  User.where("login = ? AND password = ?", entered_user_name, entered_password).first

OR

User.where(:login => entered_user_name, :password => entered_password).first

Frage 53. How can you secure a Rails Application?

> Cross-Site
