Hey so I think it would be cool to try fingerprint Rails websites that are in development mode. These have all kind of problems like showing full errors, not performing caching or eager loading etc. And are actually really easy to find a call to GET /rails/info/properties will basically show a php info style page with a large amount of information disclosure also a call to GET /rails/info/routes will give you the routes for the application both which I think would be really useful for helping craft attacks vs the application. I would be really keen to help with making this a reality but really have no idea were to start.

    That's a nice idea, I can add some informational passive checks for these.

    Cool if you do end up writing some checks can you link me the commits. Thanks

    Or, I could add this to the common_directories check since that's its job anyways.
