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.

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.
