Secure Software Solutions is pleased to announce the release of two tools: RATS 1.2: 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). We would like to thank DARPA for support of RATS through its CHATS program. This release of RATS adds support for scanning PHP code. To download RATS, please visit http://www.securesw.com/rats/ EGADS 0.7 EGADS is a system service and library for providing secure random numbers. It contains an implementation of the Tiny pseudo-random number generator and the Tiny entropy gateway. Tiny is an evolution of Yarrow, and was designed by John Kelsey (an original designer of Yarrow) and John Viega. We are currently preparing a white paper on the Tiny algorithm. EGADS provides the same kind of functionality as /dev/random and /dev/urandom on Linux systems, but works on Windows, and as a portable Unix program. EGADS is available as a portable user-level daemon for Unix systems, and as a service for Windows 2000 machines. An XP-compatible version will be available shortly.
