Description

Brakeman serves as a security assessment tool tailored for Ruby on Rails applications. In contrast to several typical web security scanners, Brakeman analyzes the actual source code of your application rather than requiring a full application stack setup. After scanning the application code, it generates a comprehensive report detailing all identified security vulnerabilities. Installation is straightforward, with Brakeman needing no additional setup or configuration—simply launch it. Since it operates solely on the source code, Brakeman can be executed at any phase of development; for instance, you can create a new application with "rails new" and promptly evaluate it using Brakeman. By not depending on spidering techniques to explore site pages, Brakeman ensures a more thorough assessment of an application, including those pages that may be under development and not yet publicly accessible. This capability allows Brakeman to potentially identify security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. As a tool specifically designed for Ruby on Rails applications, Brakeman adeptly verifies configuration settings against established best practices, thereby enhancing overall application security. Its efficiency and ease of use make it an invaluable resource for developers focusing on secure coding practices.

Description

The Secure Programming Group at the University of Virginia's Department of Computer Science is responsible for the development and ongoing maintenance of Splint. David Evans leads the project and serves as its main developer. Memory bounds checking was created by David Larochelle. Significant contributions to Splint's development were also made by University of Virginia students, including Chris Barker, David Friedman, Mike Lanouette, and Hien Phan. Splint serves as the evolution of LCLint, a tool that originated from a collaborative research effort between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Digital Equipment Corporation's System Research Center. David Evans was also the chief designer and developer of LCLint. The initial concept for a static checking tool aimed at identifying discrepancies between LCL specifications and their C implementations came from John Guttag and Jim Horning. Their insights into the design and functionality proved invaluable, playing a crucial role in shaping both LCLint and its successor, Splint. Together, the team has fostered a robust environment for developing tools that enhance software reliability and security.
