Extensions to Soot

This page lists a number of extensions to Soot and/or tools that are designed to be used with Soot, and which can be helpful in different circumstances.

Heros

Heros supports the template-driven inter-procedural data-flow analysis of applications using the IFDS and IDE frameworks. Using Heros, you can quickly prototype context and flow-sensitive data-flow analyses by simply defining a set of flow functions.

FlowDroid

FlowDroid supports the analysis of Android apps. It comprises an entry-point generator that allows you to simulate the events of the Android lifecycle. Moreover, it supports the automated tracking of both explicit and implicit information flows.

TamiFlex

TamiFlex allows you to collect information about reflective calls and incorporate them into your static analysis. Also, it can be used to incorporate offline-transformed classes into an application's class-loading process.

Soot-Scala

Soot-Scala is a Scala thin wrapper around many parts of the Soot API to make it follow Scala conventions. It includes many implicit classes that follow the Pimp-my-library pattern and a few extractors to use in Scala match statements.

JavaEE Entry Point Generator

The JavaEE Entry Point Generator creates entry points for Jax-WS web services and Servlets. Servlet information can be loaded from web.xml or from the code. Jax-WS information is always loaded from the code. Servlets' access control restrictions and filters are integrated in the entry points we generate.
