|
| Secure Software Inc. would like to announce the release of RATS 2.0.
|
| RATS, the Rough Auditing Tool for Security, is a security auditing
| utility for C, C++, Python, Perl and PHP code. RATS scans source code,
| finding potentially dangerous function calls. The goal of this project
| is not to definitively find bugs. The current goal is to provide a
| reasonable starting point for performing manual security audits. RATS
| is released under version 2 of the GNU Public License (GPL).
|
|
| New in this version of RATS:
|
| RATS can now descend through directories recursively, analyzing any
| supported source code it finds.
|
| Ability to output results as HTML or XML.
|
| Result output can contain the line of code that caused each problem to
| be reported, along with the column number in the source file the
| problem was detected at.
|
| RATS will now report various statistics at the end of the reporting
| phase, including total time spend on the analysis, and number of
| source lines analyzed.
|
|
| Various database additions.
|
| A new database file, rats-openssl, which aids in analyzing any code
| that utilizes the OpenSSL C API. (Thanks to Ben Laurie for
| contributing this database)
