# Rack::Protection
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/sinatra/rack-protection.png)](http://travis-ci.org/sinatra/rack-protection)
This gem protects against typical web attacks.
Should work for all Rack apps, including Rails.
# Usage
Use all protections you probably want to use:
``` ruby
# config.ru
require 'rack/protection'
use Rack::Protection
run MyApp
```
Skip a single protection middleware:
``` ruby
# config.ru
require 'rack/protection'
use Rack::Protection, :except => :path_traversal
run MyApp
```
Use a single protection middleware:
``` ruby
# config.ru
require 'rack/protection'
use Rack::Protection::AuthenticityToken
run MyApp
```

The instrumenter is passed a namespace (String) and environment (Hash). The namespace is 'rack.protection' and the attack type can be obtained from the environment key 'rack.protection.attack'.
