There&#x27;s been a lot of anger around Twitter on this. I&#x27;ve also seen a lot of people cherry-picking a non-native speaker&#x27;s words out of context too. Specifically, &quot;Ruby is not a project for security.&quot;<p>That doesn&#x27;t mean that this bug is not important, or that the Ruby team&#x27;s decision as it currently stands is a good one. But it&#x27;s a complex issue.

&quot;Ruby is not a project for security.&quot;<p>That&#x27;s from ruby-core. That&#x27;s a frightening attitude for a project to take.

Non-SSL expert here and first time poster (not trolling). Python also uses a wrapper for OpenSSL and has similar issues with default settings. Is this problem specific to Ruby or also Python apps as well?

The SSL2 ClientHello thing is, IIRC, also a compat hack; Firefox used it (at least until recently) when it connected through proxies.

Anyone know of a simple recipe to set up secure defaults?

So does PHP, though this is fixed in 5.5 IIRC.
