Description
Flawfinder
Flawfinder is a handy tool that digs through your source code to spot potential security flaws. This software is all about examining your code and highlighting any possible weaknesses, which we like to call "flaws." What’s cool is that it sorts these issues by their risk level, helping you quickly find and fix some security problems before your program hits the public.
How Does Flawfinder Work?
If you’re wondering how Flawfinder works, it’s pretty straightforward! Once you install it, just pop open a text terminal and type:
flawfinder directory_with_source_code
Installation Made Easy
This program is designed to be user-friendly. You won’t need a degree in computer science to get started! Right now, Flawfinder operates on Unix-like systems (it’s been tested on GNU/Linux), and it shouldn’t be too tricky to get it running on Windows. Just remember, you’ll need Python version 1.5 or higher to run it—Python 1.3 or earlier won’t cut it!
What’s New in This Release?
- The ability to review only the changes made to a program has been added.
- A few minor improvements and bug fixes were also included.
