# Slither, the Solidity source analyzer
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/trailofbits/slither.svg?token=JEF97dFy1QsDCfQ2Wusd&branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/trailofbits/slither)
[![Slack Status](https://empireslacking.herokuapp.com/badge.svg)](https://empireslacking.herokuapp.com)
[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/slither-analyzer.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/slither-analyzer)
Slither is a Solidity static analysis framework written in Python 3. It runs a suite of vulnerability detectors, prints visual information about contract details, and provides an API to easily write custom analyses. Slither enables developers to find vulnerabilities, enhance their code comphrehension, and quickly prototype custom analyses.
## Features
* Detects vulnerable Solidity code with low false positives
* Identifies where the error condition occurs in the source code
* Easy integration into continuous integration and Truffle builds
* Built-in 'printers' quickly report crucial contract information
* Detector API to write custom analyses in Python
* Ability to analyze contracts written with Solidity >= 0.4
* Intermediate representation ([SlithIR](https://github.com/trailofbits/slither/wiki/SlithIR)) enables simple, high-precision analyses
## Usage
Run Slither on a Truffle application:
```
truffle compile
slither .
```
Run Slither on a single file:
```
$ slither tests/uninitialized.sol # argument can be file, folder or glob, be sure to quote the argument when using a glob
[..]
INFO:Detectors:Uninitialized state variables in tests/uninitialized.sol, Contract: Uninitialized, Vars: destination, Used in ['transfer']
[..]
```
If Slither is run on a directory, it will run on every `.sol` file in the directory.
### Configuration
* `--solc SOLC`: Path to `solc` (default 'solc')
* `--solc-args SOLC_ARGS`: Add custom solc arguments. `SOLC_ARGS` can contain multiple arguments
* `--disable-solc-warnings`: Do not print solc warnings
* `--solc-ast`: Use the solc AST file as input (`solc file.sol --ast-json > file.ast.json`)
* `--json FILE`: Export results as JSON
## Detectors
By default, all the detectors are run.

### Printers
To run a printer, use `--print` and a comma-separated list of printers.
Num | Printer | Description
--- | --- | ---
1 | `call-graph` | Export the call-graph of the contracts to a dot file
2 | `contract-summary` | Print a summary of the contracts
3 | `function-summary` | Print a summary of the functions
4 | `inheritance` | Print the inheritance relations between contracts
5 | `inheritance-graph` | Export the inheritance graph of each contract to a dot file
6 | `slithir` | Print the slithIR representation of the functions
7 | `vars-and-auth` | Print the state variables written and the authorization of the functions
## How to install
Slither requires Python 3.6+ and [solc](https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/), the Solidity compiler.
### Using Pip
```
$ pip install slither-analyzer
```
