# Spektr

[![Ruby CI](https://github.com/gregmolnar/spektr/actions/workflows/ci.yaml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/gregmolnar/spektr/actions/workflows/ci.yaml)

Spektr is a static-code analyser for Ruby On Rails applications to find security issues.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'spektr'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install spektr

## Usage

If you are using in your app:

```
spektr
```

If you want to scan an app in another folder:

```
spektr path/to/app
```

To see the available options, you can run `spektr --help`.

To ignore a finding, you can use the `--ignore` flag with a comma separated list of fingerprints from the report.

### Railsgoat Example output

### False positives

Due to the nature of static-code analysis, Spektr might report false positives. Please report them, so I can try
to tweak the check.

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
