Lib.rs

High-level crate to extract the dependency trees embedded in binaries by cargo auditable.

Deserializes them to a JSON string or Rust data structures, at your option.

Features

• Binary parsing designed from the ground up for resilience to malicious inputs.
• 100% memory-safe Rust, including all dependencies. (There is some unsafe in serde_json and its dependencies, but only in serialization, which isn't used here).
• Cross-platform, portable, easy to cross-compile. Runs on any Rust target with std.
• Parses binaries from any supported platform, not just the platform it's running on.
• Supports setting size limits for both input and output, to protect against OOMs and zip bombs.

Usage

// Uses the default limits: 1GiB input file size, 8MiB audit data size
let info = audit_info_from_file(&PathBuf::from("path/to/file"), Default::default())?;

Functions to load the data from a Read instance or from &[u8] are also provided, see the documentation.

Alternatives

rust-audit-info is a command-line interface to this crate.

If you need an even lower-level interface than the one provided by this crate, use the auditable-extract and auditable-serde crates.
