weggli
A fast semantic search tool for C/C++ codebases that uses AST pattern matching to help security researchers find interesting functionality.
What is weggli?
weggli is a fast semantic search tool for C and C++ codebases that uses Abstract Syntax Tree pattern matching to help security researchers identify interesting functionality and potential vulnerabilities. It provides a query language that resembles C/C++ code, making it easy to create patterns that search for specific code constructs across large codebases.
Security researchers, reverse engineers, and code auditors who need to analyze large C/C++ codebases for security issues, interesting functionality, or specific code patterns.
Developers choose weggli for its fast performance, minimal setup requirements, and intuitive query language that closely resembles actual C/C++ code, enabling efficient interactive exploration of codebases without requiring complete builds or dependencies.
Overview
weggli is a fast and robust semantic search tool for C and C++ codebases. It is designed to help security researchers identify interesting functionality in large codebases.
