Introducing Watchtower - a Platform- and Language-Agnostic Static Code Analysis Tool

tags: +2600 +foss +security

I’ve been working on a tool that I call “Watchtower” for the last several weeks. Watchtower is a platform- and language-agnostic Static Code Analysis tool that can be used for code audits and incident-response.

The project is hosted here:

https://github.com/chrisallenlane/watchtower

Check out the README to get a feel for how it works.

In the meantime, that’s all I can say, because I’m hoping to publish a more detailed introduction in an upcoming issue of 2600. If that submission is rejected, more details will later be made available here.

Update: 15 Apr 2015

The aforementioned article was published in 2600 magazine, Volume 30, Number 2 in Summer of 2013. You may read a reprint of the article in full here.
