-RATS - Rough Auditing Tool for Security
-
-RATS is an open source tool developed and maintained by Secure Software
-security engineers. Secure Software was acquired by Fortify Software, Inc.
-RATS is a tool for scanning C, C++, Perl, PHP and Python source code and
-flagging common security related programming errors such as buffer overflows
-and TOCTOU (Time Of Check, Time Of Use) race conditions.
-
-RATS scanning tool provides a security analyst with a list of potential
-trouble spots on which to focus, along with describing the problem and
-potentially suggest remedies. It also provides a relative assessment of the
-potential severity of each problem, to better help an auditor prioritize.
-This tool also performs some basic analysis to try to rule out conditions
-that are obviously not problems.
-
-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.
-
-Example usage - to analyze "main.c":
-rats --db /usr/share/rats-2.3/rats-c.xml main.c
