# SimpleSecurity
Combine multiple popular python security tools and generate reports or output
into different formats
Plugins (these require the plugin executable in the system path. e.g. bandit
requires bandit to be in the system path...)
- bandit
- safety
- dodgy
- dlint
- semgrep
Formats
- ansi (for terminal)
- json
- markdown
- csv
- sarif
## Example Use
See below for the output if you run `simplesecurity` in this directory
### Help
```bash
$ simplesecurity --help
usage: simplesecurity [-h] [--scan-dir SCAN_DIR] [--format FORMAT] [--plugin PLUGIN] [--file FILE] [--level LEVEL]
[--confidence CONFIDENCE] [--no-colour] [--high-contrast] [--fast] [--zero]
Combine multiple popular python security tools and generate reports or output
into different formats...
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--scan-dir SCAN_DIR, -s SCAN_DIR
Pass a path to the scan directory (optional)
--format FORMAT, -f FORMAT
Output format. One of ansi, json, markdown, csv. default=ansi
--plugin PLUGIN, -p PLUGIN
Plugin to use. One of bandit, safety, dodgy, dlint, semgrep, all, default=all
--file FILE, -o FILE Filename to write to (omit for stdout)
--level LEVEL, -l LEVEL
Minimum severity/ level to show
--confidence CONFIDENCE, -c CONFIDENCE
Minimum confidence to show
--no-colour, -z No ANSI colours
--high-contrast, -Z High contrast colours
--fast, --skip Skip long running jobs. Will omit plugins with long run time (applies to -p all only)
--zero, -0 Return non zero exit code if any security vulnerabilities are found
```
You can also import this into your own project and use any of the functions

## Developer Notes
### Generate semgrep_sec.yaml
1. Clone https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep-rules
2. cd to `semgrep-rules/python`
3. do
```bash
cat **/security/**/*.yaml >> semgrep_sec.yaml
cat **/security/*.yaml >> semgrep_sec.yaml
```
4. Find and replace `rules:` with `` apart from the first instance
5. Reformat with `ctrl+shift+i`
6. replace simplesecurity/semgrep_sec.yaml with the new one
## Documentation
A high-level overview of how the documentation is organized organized will help you know
where to look for certain things:
- The [Technical Reference](/documentation/reference) documents APIs and other aspects of the
machinery. This documentation describes how to use the classes and functions at a lower level
and assume that you have a good high-level understanding of the software.
## Install With PIP
**"Slim" Build:** Install bandit, dlint, dodgy, poetry, and safety with pipx
```python
pip install simplesecurity
```
**Otherwise:**
```python
pip install simplesecurity[full]
```
Head to https://pypi.org/project/SimpleSecurity/ for more info
## Language information
### Built for
This program has been written for Python versions 3.8 - 3.11 and has been tested with both 3.8 and
3.11
## Install Python on Windows
### Chocolatey
```powershell
choco install python
```
### Windows - Python.org
To install Python, go to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and download the latest
version.
## Install Python on Linux
### Apt
```bash
sudo apt install python3.x
```
### Dnf
```bash
sudo dnf install python3.x
```
## Install Python on MacOS
### Homebrew
```bash
brew install python@3.x
```
### MacOS - Python.org
To install Python, go to https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/ and download the latest
version.
## How to run
### Windows
- Module
`py -3.x -m [module]` or `[module]` (if module installs a script)
- File
`py -3.x [file]` or `./[file]`
### Linux/ MacOS
- Module
`python3.x -m [module]` or `[module]` (if module installs a script)
- File
`python3.x [file]` or `./[file]`
## Building
This project uses https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/FHMake to automate most of the building. This
command generates the documentation, updates the requirements.txt and builds the library artefacts
Note the functionality provided by fhmake can be approximated by the following
```sh
handsdown --cleanup -o documentation/reference
poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt --with dev --output requirements_optional.txt
poetry build
```
`fhmake audit` can be run to perform additional checks
## Testing
For testing with the version of python used by poetry use
```sh
poetry run pytest
```
Alternatively use `tox` to run tests over python 3.8 - 3.11
```sh
tox
```
