Rough Auditing Tool for Security in Windows Code

Got off my butt this morning (since I was up at 6am anyways) to finally get around to tweaking my development platform with some of my favorite auditing tools on Unix. I was ready to fight with compiling some source code auditing tools under cygwin.

But I didn't have to! The guys who wrote RATS ported it to windows! You can grab it here.

Works great. I have always liked RATS. It points out areas to really look at the code. I am happy to say it found about 6 areas to look into, and my code had already addressed them all. (With the only high priority being a fixed size local buffer which I am handling properly)

Source auditing goodness free on Windows. Who would have thought.
