"It has been said that the Ruby programming language is the hammer for most security assessment nails. In my talk, we will review what you can do with Ruby on your next research project or penetration testing, including: accelerated binary and protocol analysis, quick crypto implementations, extending Burp Suite with Buby, building scriptable debuggers with Ragweed and hit tracers with Nerve, and deal with pesky Java applications using JRuby. We'll finish up by adding Redis in the mix and show how you can manage test cases and results from within your Ruby code."
