This is RATS, a rough auditing tool for security, developed by Secure
|
|
Software Solutions. It is a tool for scanning source code (C, C++, Perl,
|
|
PHP, Ruby and Python) and flagging common security related programming
|
|
errors such as buffer overflows and TOCTOU (Time Of Check, Time Of Use)
|
|
race conditions.
|
|
|
|
As its name implies, the tool performs only a rough analysis of source
|
|
code. It will not find every error and will also find things that are
|
|
not errors. Manual inspection of your code is still necessary, but
|
|
greatly aided with this tool.
