interactive static analysis for rails
Derailer uses an automatic static analysis to produce a visual representation of the information flows within a Ruby on Rails web application. The visualization organizes the results of the analysis in a tree, with the goal of helping the user to quickly find the most sensitive information flows, and also allows the user to filter the set of flows based on the conditions under which they occur.
This is an application for creating notes and sharing them with other users, based on an assignment given in a web application design course.
Fat Free CRM is an open-source customer relationship management system. Its source is available on Github.
To use Derailer, add the following three lines to
the Gemfile of your Rails application:
gem 'derailer', :git => 'https://github.com/jnear/derailer.git'
gem 'method_source', "~>0.8.3",
:git => 'https://github.com/aleksandarmilicevic/method_source.git'
gem 'sdg_utils', :git => 'https://github.com/jnear/sdg_utils.git'
Then, run bundle install to install the Derailer
gems. Finally, run rake derailer to run Derailer's
analysis. When the analysis is finished, it will start a webserver
at http://localhost:8000. Navigate there using a web
browser to access the interactive visualization.
Derailer is still relatively unstable. I welcome bug reports and patches either through github or via email (jnear at csail dot mit dot edu).
