GoKart
A static analysis tool for securing Go code
GoKart is a static analysis tool for Go that finds vulnerabilities using the SSA (single static assignment) form of Go source code. It is capable of tracing the source of variables and function arguments to determine whether input sources are safe, which reduces the number of false positives compared to other Go security scanners. For instance, a SQL query that is concatenated with a variable might traditionally be flagged as SQL injection; however, GoKart can figure out if the variable is actually a constant or constant equivalent, in which case there is no vulnerability. GoKart also helps to power Chariot, Praetorian's security platform that helps you find, manage, and fix vulnerabilities in your source code and cloud environments. Chariot makes it simple to run automated, continuous GoKart scans on your source code. If you want to try GoKart, you can set up a free Chariot account in minutes. -

RuboCop Rails
A RuboCop extension focused on enforcing Rails best practices
A RuboCop extension focused on enforcing Rails best practices and coding conventions. It’s based on the community-driven Rails style guide. You need to tell RuboCop to load the Rails extension. Now you can run rubocop and it will automatically load the RuboCop Rails cops together with the standard cops. If you are using Rails 6.1 or newer, add the following config.generators.after_generate setting to your config/application.rb to apply RuboCop autocorrection to code generated by bin/rails g. It uses rubocop -A to apply Style/FrozenStringLiteralComment and other unsafe autocorretion cops. rubocop -A is unsafe autocorrection, but code generated by default is simple and less likely to be incompatible with rubocop -A. If you have problems you can replace it with rubocop -a instead. -

SpotBugs
A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code
SpotBugs is a program that uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code. It is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. SpotBugs is a fork of FindBugs (which is now an abandoned project), carrying on from the point where it left off with the support of its community. Please check the official manual for details. SpotBugs requires JRE (or JDK) 1.8.0 or later to run. However, it can analyze programs compiled for any version of Java, from 1.0 to 1.9. To build the SpotBugs plugin for Eclipse, you'll need to create the file eclipsePlugin/local.properties, containing a property eclipseRoot.dir that points to an Eclipse installation's root directory (see .travis.yml for an example), then run the build. -

reviewdog
Automated code review tool integrated with any code analysis tools
I’d like to introduce reviewdog! An automated code review tool working with any lint tools and supports local run as well. “reviewdog” provides a way to post review comments to code hosting services, such as GitHub, automatically by integrating with any linter tools with ease. It uses any output of lint tools, with translation if required, and posts them as a comment if the file and line are in diff of patches to review. reviewdog also supports running in a local environment to filter the output of lint tools by diff. We can use various linters and static code analysis tools to detect such problems in local machines, editors, CI services. However, here is the problem. Static analysis tools may report false-positive results. Reporting false-positive results itself is ok, but due to the false-positive results we cannot make build fail and it becomes difficult for us to find true positive results from messed up analysis results. -

Elixir Code Smells
Catalog of Elixir-specific code smells
Elixir-Code-Smells is a research-driven catalog of code smells specific to the Elixir programming language. Unlike generic code smell lists, this project identifies issues emerging from Elixir’s functional, concurrent, and process-based nature. Initially compiled via grey literature (blogs, talks, forums), the catalog now includes 23 Elixir-specific smells plus 12 traditional smells adapted to Elixir. Each entry documents the name, category, problem, example, refactoring strategy, and step-by-step treatments. The smells are grouped into two categories: design-related (coarse-grained, harder to detect, affecting architecture/processes) and low-level concerns (fine-grained, often readability and maintainability issues). The catalog evolves with community feedback and contributions, aiming to help developers recognize harmful patterns and apply disciplined refactoring to improve maintainability, testability, and performance in Elixir systems. -

Security Code Scan
Vulnerability Patterns Detector for C# and VB.NET
Detects various security vulnerability patterns. SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), XML eXternal Entity Injection (XXE), etc. Inter-procedural taint analysis for input data. Continuous Integration (CI) support for GitHub and GitLab pipelines. Stand-alone runner or through MSBuild for custom integrations. Analyzes .NET and .NET Core projects in the background (IntelliSense) or during a build. Works with Visual Studio 2019 or higher. Visual Studio Community, Professional and Enterprise editions are supported. Other editors that support Roslyn-based analyzers like Rider or OmniSharp should work too. Security Code Scan (SCS) is not a Linter. It is a real static analysis tool that does extensive computations. Thus installing it as a Visual Studio extension or NuGet package will slow down your Visual Studio IDE. -

Zine
Fast, Scalable, Flexible Static Site Generator (SSG)
A Zine site is a collection of content files and layouts. Zine turns your content into HTML, styles it using your layouts, and finally copies the result (alongside other assets like images) into an output directory that you can then publish on static hosting services like GitHub Pages. Zine uses a structured approach to content authoring that helps keep sizeable content collections manageable. Similarly, the build process uses surgical dependency tracking to ensure minimal rebuilds, keeping the authoring experience excellent at all scales. SuperMD is an extension of Markdown that allows you to define embedded assets and semantic constructs that would be impossible to express in Markdown without using inline HTML. SuperHTML is an extension of HTML5 that focuses on expressing correct templating logic. With SuperHTML it's impossible to generate malformed HTML and most mistakes become build-time errors. -
