RATS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   RATS(1)

NAME

       rats - Rough Auditing Tool for Security

SYNOPSIS

       rats [options] [file]...

DESCRIPTION

       rats  is  a  rough auditing tool for security developed by Secure Software, Inc.  It is a tool for scanning 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  condi-
       tions.	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.

       When started, RATS will scan each file or each file in the directory specified on the command line and produce a report	when  scanning	is
       complete.   What  vulnerabilities  are reported in the final report depend on the data contained in the vulnerability database or databases
       that are used and the warning level in use.

       For each vulnerability, the list of files and line numbers where it occured is given, followed by a brief description of the  vulnerability
       and suggested action.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Displays a brief usage summary and exit.

       -a <fun>
	      Report any occurence of function 'fun' in the source file(s)

       -d <filename>, --database <filename>, --db <filename>
	      Specifies a vulnerability database to be loaded.	You may have multiple -d options and each database specified will be loaded.

       -i, --input
	      Causes a list of function calls that were used which accept external input to be produced at the end of the vulnerability report.

       -l <lang>, --language <language>
	      Force the specified language to be used regardless of filename extension.  Currently valid language names are "c", "perl", "php" and
	      "python".

       -r, --references
	      Causes references to vulnerable function calls that are not being used as calls themselves to be reported.

       -w <level>, --warning <level>
	      Sets the warning level. Valid levels are 1, 2 or 3.

	      1 includes only default and high severity.

	      2 includes medium severity (default).

	      3 includes low severity vulnerabilities.

       -x     Causes the default vulnerability databases (which are in the installation data directory, /usr/share/rats  by  default)  to  not	be
	      loaded.

       -R, --no-recurssion
	      Do not recurse subdirectories when encountered.

       --xml  Output in XML

       --html Output in HTML

       --follow-symlinks
	      Follow  symlinks	and treat them like whatever they are pointing to.  If the symlink points to a directory it will be descended into
	      unless -R is specified, if a pointing to a file, it will be treated as a file.
