Dependency Risk Analysis Tool - DRAT

DRAT aims to provide risk indicator for libraries used by the developer within an organisation.

Below is what the result looks like after running against a python project. Note that these are just potential risks associate with these dependencies being identified and not actually vulnerabilities.

Known problems:

• Duplicate results
• No caching for previous results
• Difficult to map relationships between result entries
• Rate limiting force the use of personal token

DRAT-cli

The app can be found under cmd/drat-cli.

To run the app, you will need a github auth token to overcome the rate limit for github api. This token can be generated here. Unless you need private repository access for your project, a token without any permission should work fine.

To check out how it works, you can try running it with the following commands

To get a report for a single repository:

cd cmd/drat-cli
go run main.go -d 2 -v -r "https://github.com/AusDTO/dto-digitalmarketplace-supplier-frontend"

To get a report for a list of repository:

cd cmd/drat-cli
go run main.go -d 5 -v -f examplelist.lst -o output.json

Below is an example of the app's output. You can then open cmd/drat-cli/static/index.html in a browser and drag&drop output.json into the site to visualise the output and navigate around.

This app currently support 3 types of crawler plugins for github projects: NPM, go-dep, pip and ruby-gem

DRAT Webapp

Development for this app is currently on hold in favour of the drat-cli tool.

This tool's intial code and design is inspired by the certificate transparency work done by Adam Eijdenberg from Cloud.gov.au team. You can find the repository for that here
