Announcement: http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/292647/2002-09-19/2002-09-25/0 ,---- | To: BugTraq | Subject: ANNOUNCE: RATS 2.0 | Date: Sep 19 2002 7:13PM | Author: RATS Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | 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) | | | To download RATS, please visit http://www.securesw.com/rats/ `---- Cheers, Cristian -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux my-box 2.4.19 #1 Thu Aug 8 22:22:57 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=
