Rough Auditing Tool for Security definition - hacker
RATS (not to be confused with RATs, or Remote Administration Trojans) is a set of tools to analyze C and C++ source code for potential security flaws, such as insecure function calls. The tool has not yet reached a state in which it can fix security problems in any automated fashion, but it provides a very good starting point for manual security audits.
