Hi, I have an application where I want to be able to encrypt large amounts of text before storing them to my DB (MySQL Text field - might be switched to a Blob). I have an idea of how to do this, but was wondering what the general consensus is within the community regarding the issue. I have come across a couple different plug ins/gems (Stringbox, EzCrypto), but am wondering what other people

Dear OpenSSH team, First of all thanks a lot for your good work on developing such a usable peace of software. Nice job. As you may know, we have some issues using OpenSSH in Iran. Recently the government did some packet filtering on some protocols, including SSH. We don't know what exactly they've done but it appears to be some routing rule that prevents SSH protocol to initiate a

Anyone know of a good (fast) way to encrypt/decrypt uploaded files in RoR? I''ve seen this project: http://ezcrypto.rubyforge.org/ but it only seems to encrypt strings and such. I need to encrypt files once they are uploaded, then decrypt them when they request the file back. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using the ezcrypto library for aes encryption, but i''m running into some weird cases that i cant seem to figure out. What i''m doing is trying to encrypt someting in php using standard AES 128. I''m taking the output from php and trying to decrypt it with ruby using ezcrypto. This seems to work for a lot of cases, but it does not work for some others. Any

Does anyone know how to implement the crypto-key.rb as found on http://swik.net/Typo/too-biased/Simple+Encryption/ckpz It allows for encryption and decryption of credit card numbers that are stored in a database. I am somewhat new to Rails, and I don''t always know how to use libraries and modules. Thanks, will clark // graphic design www.willclarkdesigns.com/

Hi, I''d like to announce a little tool I have written, called cucumber- puppet. It supports writing behavioural tests for your puppet manifest, using cucumber. This allows for BDD-style manifest development and fearless refactorings. http://blog.nistu.de/cucumber_puppet_0_0_3_released.html Let me know what you think! cheers, Nikolay -- You received this message because you are

Hi list, I'm building a backup server for 3 hosts (1 workstation, 2 server). I will use bacula to perform backups. The backup is performed on disks (2 x 3TB on mdraid mirror) and for each hosts I've created a logical volume with related size. This 3 hosts have different data size with different disk change rate. Each host must have a limited sized resource and a reserved space. If a

I use a solution to crypt a string that I found using OpenSSL. But the crypted string becomes very long, too long for a varchar 255 to hold it. What can I do to make it shorter? Or should I just use text as column in the mysql db? public_key_file = ''lib/public.pem'' public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read(public_key_file)) @encrypted_string =

Hello, I need an answer to the following problem: I have a Samba server with domain logons enabled and with encrypt passwords=no. So I don't use the smbpasswd file, only the Unix password files. When I try to logon with a Win95 client (client for Microsoft Networks, logging on to a domain), people with mixed-case passwords cannot logon to the Samba logon server. Those with a password in

I''m stymied at how to create a fixture that establishes a has_many :through relationship. I''ve watched the railscast at: http://media.railscasts.com/videos/081_fixtures_in_rails_2.mov ... but that''s for HABTM relationships. I''ve read: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145676 but that ultimately doesn''t answer any question. So with no further ado:

I''ve loaded (and updated) thousands of these MeteredUsage records. In the middle of a run, I suddenly get: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Unknown column ''id'' in ''where clause'': UPDATE `metered_usages` SET `cost` = 12603.46 WHERE `id` = NULL I can''t see anything that''s different about this particular record compared to

Does ActiveRecord.connection.execute(string) perform any modifications on the given string? If so, what quoting do I need to add? Here''s why: I''m trying to use execute(string) to load a stored procedure. I can hand-load the procedure without error (i.e. via dbconsole), but when I call the function below, it throws the error: ==== ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error:

Hi Railers, I''m looking for something to do asynchronous encryption - where the encryption and decryption keys are different. This is for a scenario where I want to be able to store some information in the database that can only be decrypted in a different physical location using a secret private key (which will not be stored on the machine doing the encrypting). I''m trying

I have two models with a straightforward has_many / belongs_to relationship: class Premise < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :metered_services, :dependent => :destroy ... end class MeteredService < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :premise ... end and nested routes to match: Demo::Application.routes.draw do devise_for :users resources :premises do resources :metered_services

I have isolated what appears to be a bug in the Rails extensions to DateTime, but I don''t know where to report it. I have a standalone file to demonstrate the bug, but the punch line is that this code: TestRecord.create!(:f_datetime => (expected = DateTime.jd(2000000))) found = TestRecord.first.f_datetime puts("expected == found => #{expected == found}")

In an app where ordinary users are limited to viewing and editing their own "stuff", but someone with admin privs can view and edit anybody''s stuff, what''s the right strategy for routing? At first blush, I''d think that an ordinary user (e.g. with id 565) should see something like: http://example.com/mystuff.html ... where the controller assumes

I have an ActiveRecord that has several foreign keys, where the foreign keys act as a single compound key that needs to be unique: class CreateRelations < ActiveRecord::Migration def change create_table :relations do |t| t.references :src, :null => false t.references :dst, :null => false end add_index :relations, [:src_id, :dst_id], :unique => true end end

How does one generate a form within a view using javascript? Specifically, assume views/premise/new.html.erb looks like this: <%= form_for(Premise.new) do |f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :full_address, :value => $FULL_ADDRESS %> <%= f.hidden_field :geocoding, :value => $GEOCODING %> <%= f.submit :value => "use this address" %> <%= f.label
