Hello,  
I was searching for some way to secure my rails scripts. Do anybody know  
what can I use? I found Rencoder ([www.rencoder.com](http://www.rencoder.com)) on the net but I  
want to know if there are others programs I can use?

Well, definitely don’t use this Rencoder. Its not secure and frankly it  
failed to work on much Ruby code. I tried it on the test.rb script and  
it does not work. It did work on “print test” though lol so if you’re  
app is that basic maybe its ok. I would avoid it
