Question 1

How to integrate graudit into a CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Graudit can be added as a script step using its command-line interface; set environment variables like GRARGS for default options and run scans on code directories to output results for review.

Question 2

Graudit vs SonarQube for security scanning?

Accepted Answer

Graudit is lightweight and grep-based, ideal for quick, customizable scans with minimal setup, while SonarQube offers deeper semantic analysis, continuous inspection, and more features but requires significant resources and configuration.

Question 3

How to create custom signature databases for graudit?

Accepted Answer

Create a file with POSIX extended regular expressions for vulnerability patterns, then specify its path with the -d option or place it in a supported directory like $HOME/.graudit/, as explained in the Databases section.

Question 4

Does graudit support scanning C++ code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, graudit includes a 'c' database that covers C and likely basic C++ patterns, but for specific C++ vulnerabilities, you may need to customize or extend the database with additional rules.

Question 5

Can graudit be used to scan Docker images?

Accepted Answer

Graudit scans source code files, so you can extract source code from Docker images and scan it, but it doesn't natively integrate with Docker or scan binaries, limiting its use in containerized environments.

Question 6

How to reduce false positives in graudit output?

Accepted Answer

Use context lines with the -c option to see surrounding code, customize databases to refine patterns, and exclude irrelevant files with -x, though this requires manual tuning and expertise.
