Summary: Rough Auditing Tool for Security

Description: 

RATS scans through code, finding potentially dangerous function calls. The goal
of this tool is not to definitively find bugs (yet). The current goal is to
provide a reasonable starting point for performing manual security audits.

The initial vulnerability database is taken directly from things that could be
easily found when starting with the forthcoming book, "Building Secure
Software" by Viega and McGraw.
