I'm viewing http://asciicasts.com/episodes/26-hackers-love-mass-assignment.
It says that an hacker can do curl -d
"user[name]=hacker&user[admin]=1" http://localhost:3000/Users/ and
create an admin user.
Ok, wtih attr_accessible he can't do that but..........if he can't
create an admin user he always can create a user, not an admin user
but a user.
That is he can insert values in my database.
I can't use attr_accessible for all my model attributes.
