Hey developers and vulnerability researchers!
I'm currently working on improving my #Semgrep ruleset for C/C++ static code analysis, and I've just published the new v1.1.0 release: https://github.com/0xdea/semgrep-rules
Some notable changes since the previous battle-tested release: new rules for detecting high-entropy assignments and ReDoS vulnerabilities, numerous enhancements to existing rules, reduced false positives without sacrificing coverage, optimized patterns across the board, and overall better documentation. Check the changelog for the full list (yes, there’s a changelog now).
Please test it inside and out, and feel free to open issues or submit pull requests. Your feedback is invaluable and will help shape the project roadmap. I'm aiming for a major release sometime before spring.
It is simultaneously true that:
And, sure, the LLVM work won't stop app developers from fucking up something on the OWASP Top 10 list for a given year. Nor will it stop phishing from being hella effective against most users and services.
But it does reduce compiler doom and various forms of auditor bikeshedding, which makes applied cryptography work a little easier to get done.
And the best mitigation we have for phishing attacks today is WebAuthn... which uses cryptography. :P
Sometimes, naysaying is actually counterproductive.
Nice community contribution! James Downs built a Kagi News app for Pebble watches:
