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/
