Introducing Bandit, a Python code security analyzer (openstack.org)
2 points by finnigja on Nov 25, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


"Bandit provides a framework for performing security analysis of Python source code, utilizing the ast module from the Python standard library.

The ast module is used to convert source code into a parsed tree of Python syntax nodes. Bandit allows users to define custom tests that are performed against those nodes. At the completion of testing, a report is generated that lists security issues identified within the target source code."

Wiki page is linked above (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security/Projects/Bandit), and browseable code is at http://git.openstack.org/cgit/stackforge/bandit/.

We'd love to hear about people who are using this - feedback and suggestions welcome.
