grep rough audit - source code auditing tool
graudit
===============================================================================
graudit is a simple script and signature sets that allows you to find potential
security flaws in source code using the GNU utility grep. It's comparable to
other static analysis applications like RATS, SWAAT and flaw-finder while
keeping the technical requirements to a minimum and being very flexible.

Installation
===============================================================================
Installation can be done as a user or globally as root, simply run make with
the userinstall or install argument. It is however recommended to use graudit
directly by cloning the git repository as it includes additional database rules
not included on the distribution files. This also enables you to get updates
between releases. To do this run the following command:

```
git clone https://github.com/wireghoul/graudit
```

You can then add graudit to your path, using the appropriate values for
your preferred shell:
```
echo 'PATH="$HOME/graudit:${PATH:+:${PATH}}"; export PATH;' >> ~/.bashrc
```

If graudit is not in your home directory you may wish to set the GRDIR
environment variable to the signatures directory in your `.bashrc` file.
```
export GRDIR=/path/to/graudit/signatures
```

Usage
===============================================================================
graudit supports several options and tries to follow good shell practices. For
a list of the options you can run graudit -h or see below. The simplest way to
use graudit is;

```
graudit [opts] /path/to/scan

OPTIONS
  -d <dbname> database to use or /path/to/file.db (uses default if not specified)
  -A scan unwanted and difficult (ALL) files
  -x exclude these files (comma separated list: -x *.js,*.sql)
  -i case in-sensitive scan
  -c <num> number of lines of context to display before and after a match, default is 1

  -B suppress banner
  -L vim friendly lines
  -b colour blind friendly template
  -z suppress colors
  -Z high contrast colors
  
  -l lists databases available
  -v prints version number
  -h prints this help screen
```

You can set default commandline options via the GRARGS environment variable.
This may affect the use of graudit in scripts so it's only recommended to use
the B,L,b,z and Z options for this purpose.
```
echo 'GRARGS="-b -L"; export GRARGS' >> ~/.bashrc
```


Databases
===============================================================================
graudit uses extended regular expressions (POSIX) as it's signatures and comes
with several databases ready for use. You can extend the existing databases or
make your own if you require additional signatures.

Databases can be loaded from multiple locations, the order of precedence is as
follows:
  1. Custom location specified via the GRDIR environment variable
  2. /usr/share/graudit/
  3. $HOME/.graudit/
  4. A relative signatures/ directory from the graudit location
  5. A relative misc/ directory from the graudit location
  6. $HOME/graudit/signatures/
  7. Any file that is specified with a full path, i.e: /home/user/my.db
  8. Rules can be read from stdin by supplying - or /dev/stdin as the database

A list of the database files in order of precedence is shown with the -l switch:
`graudit -l`

The following databases are included:
  - actionscript
  - android
  - asp
  - c
  - cobol
  - default (used if -d argument is omitted)
  - dotnet
  - eiffel
  - exec
  - fruit
  - go
  - ios
  - java
  - js
  - nim
  - perl
  - php
  - python
  - ruby
  - scala
  - secrets
  - spsqli
  - sql
  - strings
  - typescript
  - xss
