This is the default safe level. # 1 Potentially unsafe methods can’t use tainted data. Also, the current # directory is not added to Ruby’s search path for loading libraries. # 2 The restrictions of safe level 1, plus Ruby won’t load any external # program files from globally writable locations in the filesystem. This is to # prevent attacks where hackers upload malicious code and manipulate existing # programs to load them. Some potentially dangerous methods are also # deactivated, such as File#chmod, Kernel#fork, and Process::setpriority. # 3 The restrictions of level 2, plus newly created objects within the # program are considered tainted automatically. You also cannot untaint objects. # 4 The restrictions of level 3, plus nontainted objects created prior to # the safe level being set cannot be modified. You can use this to set up an # execution environ- ment in a lower safe mode, and then provide a way to # continue execution while protecting the original objects and environment. # # MORE: # # regex: # Try regular expressions in realtime! http://rubular.com/ # # references: # http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/QuickRef.html # http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby/ruby_quick_guide.htm # "Begining Ruby - book": useful classes and methods, errors, regex, variables, etc... from pag. 575 # # standard lib: # http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.0/
