历史

项目历史与用法

RATS, the Rough Auditing Tool for Security, is a command-line static analysis scanner for finding common security-sensitive programming patterns in source code.

项目历史

The official README says RATS was developed, maintained, and distributed by Secure Software, Inc. The 2.4 source archive describes it as a scanner for C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby source that flags issues such as buffer overflows and TOCTOU race conditions.

采用历史

RATS circulated as a small Unix security-auditing utility through source archives and package managers. Homebrew, Debian-derived manpage packaging, Fedora, MacPorts, and other Unix package collections carried it as a lightweight source-code auditing tool.

使用方式

Users run rats against files or directories and can select vulnerability databases with -d, force a language with -l, choose warning levels, recurse through directories, and emit text, XML, or HTML reports.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Package maintainers care about RATS because it is an old-style security CLI: small C code, autoconf build, XML vulnerability databases, and a package surface that exposes static-analysis behavior without a large framework.

时间线

2001: The bundled manpage date records RATS documentation in September 2001.
2.4: Homebrew packages the Google Code archive release as the stable version.

Related projects

The README notes Expat as a build/runtime requirement and credits Ben Laurie for OpenSSL-specific database contributions.
