# Tealer

Tealer is a static analyzer for [Teal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/features/asc1/) code.
It parses the Teal program, and builds its CFG. The analyzer comes with a set of vulnerabilities detectors and printers allowing to quickly review the contracts.
In addition, tealer allows for custom path discovery through [regular expression](#regular-expression), and can be configured to follow the [group information](#group-configuration) of the application.

- [Detectors](#detectors): Vulnerabilities detectors
- [Printers](#printers): Visual information

- [How to install](#how-to-install)
- [Group configuration](#group-configuration)

## Usage

To detect vulnerabilities

```bash
tealer detect --contracts file.teal
```

To run a printer

```bash
tealer print --contracts file.teal
```

To run the regular expression engine

```bash
tealer regex --contracts file.teal
```

For additional configuration, see the [Usage](https://github.com/crytic/tealer/wiki/Usage) documentation.

### Detectors

| Num | Detector | What it detects | Applies To | Impact | Confidence |

| 12 | `sender-access` | [Unoptimized Gtxn](https://github.com/crytic/tealer/wiki/Detector-Documentation#Unoptimized-sender-access) | Stateless | Optimization | High |

For more information, see

- The [Detector Documentation](https://github.com/crytic/tealer/wiki/Detector-Documentation) for information on each detector
- The [Detection Selection](https://github.com/crytic/tealer/wiki/Usage#detector-selection) to run only selected detectors. By default, all the detectors are ran.

### Printers

| Num | Printer | What it prints |
|-----|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | `call-graph` | Export the call graph of contract to a dot file |
| 2 | `cfg` | Export the CFG of entire contract |
| 3 | `human-summary` | Print a human-readable summary of the contract |
| 4 | `subroutine-cfg` | Export the CFG of each subroutine |
| 5 | `transaction-context` | Output possible values of GroupIndices, GroupSize |

Printers output [`dot`](https://graphviz.org/) files.
Use `xdot` to open the files (`sudo apt install xdot`).

### Regular expression

Tealer can detect if there is a path between a given label and a set of instruction using the `regex` subcommand: `tealer regex regex.txt --contracts file.teal`.

The Regular expression file must be on the form:
```txt
label =>
ins1
ins2
```

If there is a match, tealer will generate a DOT file with the graph.

For an example, run `tealer regex tests/regex/regex.txt --contract tests/regex/vote_approval.teal`, with:
- [tests/regex/regex.txt](./tests/regex/regex.txt)
- [tests/regex/vote_approval.teal](./tests/regex/vote_approval.teal)

Which will generate `regex_result.dot`.

## How to install

`pip3 install tealer`

### Using Git

```bash
git clone https://github.com/crytic/tealer.git && cd tealer
make dev
```

## Group configuration

To help tealer reasons about applications that are meant to be run in a group of transaction, the user can provide the group information through a configuration file:
- See the [ANS configuration](tests/group_transactions/ans/ans_config.yaml) example
- See [Lightweight group information specification](https://forum.algorand.org/t/lightweight-group-information-specification/9735) discussion.

The file format is still in development, and it is likely to evolve in the future
