We are pleased to announce that Galois is open-sourcing cclyzer++, a new pointer analysis for languages that compile to LLVM, including C and C++. Pointer analysis is a foundational static analysis with applications to the problems of program optimization, verification, bug finding, and many others. At Galois, we designed cclyzer++ with two main use cases […]

Galois is open-sourcing MATE, a suite of tools for interactive program analysis with a focus on hunting for bugs in C and C++ code. MATE unifies application-specific and low-level vulnerability analysis using code property graphs (CPGs), enabling the discovery of highly application-specific vulnerabilities that depend on both implementation details and the high-level semantics of target […]

At the Mining Software Repositories (MSR2022) conference in May, we presented our LAGOON tool resulting from the DARPA SocialCyber AIE, and led a discussion session on reducing complexity of machine learning. LAGOON provides a comprehensive platform for analyzing and investigating open-source software (OSS) communities for potentially malicious contributors. This is accomplished by ingesting multiple types […]

We are pleased to announce the release of Crux 0.6. Crux is a tool for verifying programs containing inline specifications. Crux works with both C/C++ code (via Crux-LLVM) and Rust code (via Crux-MIR). This release brings a variety of improvements, including: Crux-LLVM now has improved support for LLVM debug metadata when the debug-intrinsics option is […]

We are pleased to announce the release of Cryptol 2.13.0. Cryptol is a language for writing and specifying cryptographic algorithms. This release brings a variety of improvements, including: The sortBy function is now implemented using merge sort instead of insertion sort. This improves both asymptotic and observed performance on sorting tasks. “Type mismatch” errors now […]

We are happy to announce the first formal release of Crux, a new open-source verification tool from Galois. This new tool aims to improve software assurance using symbolic testing, a technique that allows for smooth migration from testing to verification. Crux builds on the same infrastructure as our Software Analysis Workbench (SAW), but with a […]
