I this part, we are going to drill below the surface and look at the configuration and use in a Continuous Integration (CI) scenario in which Jenkins supports the development in feature branches. We configure a number of build jobs using the support functions which were visualized in Part 1 (shown below in reduced format). CppCheck, Unit Tests (TAP format) and Code SLOCCount (Source Lines Of Code Count), Valgrind Coverage. analysis For a Linux system, we will then configure Jenkins to do the following: ● Check the source code using the CPPCheck and CPPLint tools which means creating static code analysis to locate basic code errors and deviations from the code standard. ● Run the test unit and visualize the result ● Check how much of the code is covered by the unit test (code coverage) ● Count the number of code lines and visualize the result with gcov. ● Check binaries with valgrind and visualize the result. We only do memory check (Valgrind contains more tools). Finally, a number of tips for distributed installations, etc. are provided. Implementation of all these checks are low-cost and they have been able to detect errors in all projects I have participated in! As is evident from the above description, Jenkins support typically falls into two parts: ● Use of an external tool which is activated by Jenkins 2/42 ● Visualization of the result. Typically, this is carried out via a purpose-built Jenkins plugin. First, some practical aspects and with these a disclaimer: This subject is very comprehensive, and the description following below should be seen as an appetizer – even though it is fully functional. Jenkins can do so much more! Prerequisites The configuration of Jenkins is described below. For that, the source code is loaded into a Git repository. The prerequisite for the examples is that the Git repository described is available – and this includes authentication configured with SSH keys. The private key in the SSH key pair must be available in connection with configuration of Jenkins. A Git server can be created quickly using a finished Docker image, e.g. this one: Https://hub.docker.com/r/jkarlos/git-server-docker/ which also allows authentication with SSH public/private key pairs. Installing Jenkins *** NOTE *** The screenshots are created in a browser with Danish as the main language. Consequently, the Jenkins user interface is mostly in Danish. In some instances, the Danish translation is not available and the browser then lapses back into English – hence the occasional language confusion. Jenkins may be installed in four ways. 1) You can download the war file on the home page: https://jenkins.io/download/. The advantages are that you get complete control of the installation and may regenerate it later on and that you get the most up-to-date version (contrary to many other tools, the Jenkins community is REALLY well organized with regard to dependencies and quality and I have never experienced problems with their latest versions) 2) It can be installed using the package manager which comes with the Linux distro that is to be used (Jenkins is Java based and also runs on Windows, but this is out of scope for the purposes of the present document). The advantage is that the installation is well integrated. Conversely, it is not the latest. In practice this is rarely important though. 3) A finished image may be installed in a cloud solution. The advantage is that you will quickly be up and running. On the other hand, you will drag all sorts of things into the installation. Usually, this will not be the last version either. 4) It is possible to use the “official” Docker image which is maintained by the Jenkins community. Docker is a container technology with some of the same characteristics as a virtual machine – only way faster and less resource intensive – refer to Wikipedia. Docker will have you up and running in no time and it has a very new version. Again, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to get a full understanding of it, the way it is established, which may be a problem in regulated environments (e.g. 3/42 development of medical devices). The Jenkins community maintains two Docker images as described here: https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins/. The use of it is described in Github here:https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/blob/master/README.md Here, we are going to use the latter version and use one of the authorized Docker images – jenkins lts (long term support). Introduction The following description details the steps on a Linux machine with ‘Opensuse Tumbleweed’ installed. The procedure will certainly be the same in other Linux distributions and in all circumstances it is a prerequisite that Docker is functioning on a Linux machine (you may try to write the command ‘docker version’ in a console to determine this). Below follows a condensed version of the use. Steps 1. Start a console and type ‘docker pull jenkins/jenkins:lts’. This downloads the Docker image to the machine. Screen dump somewhat into the download process of the Docker image ‘jenkins:lts’ 2. Now, go to the Linux user’s ‘HOME’ folder by typing ‘cd +<Enter>. Let the ‘jenkins_home’ folder run by executing the ‘mkdir jenkins_home +<Enter>’ command 3. Start the newly downloaded image with this command: ‘docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -v $HOME/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins/jenkins:lts’ 4. Jenkins is now available on port 8080 on the machine as illustrated: 4/42 Starting page for Jenkins in a browser. When a Docker container with an image is started, everything in the Docker container is generally ‘read-only’. After a reboot of the container, everything is thus reset. Usually, a connection is created out of the Docker container to the host machine. In the command above, ‘-v $HOME/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home’ indicates that the ‘/var/jenkins_home’ folder INSIDE the Docker container must be mapped to ‘$HOME/jenkins_home’ OUTSIDE the Docker container. Items placed in ‘$HOME/jenkins_home’ therefore survive reboots and fortunately this is also true for configuration of build jobs and plugins. The configuration of Jenkins itself is therefore not deleted in connection with a reboot. After start of the Jenkins Docker container, Jenkins is now available in a browser on port 8080. The displayed path, ‘/var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword’, refers to a path inside the Docker container but since ‘/var/jenkins_home’ inside the container is mapped to ‘$HOME/jenkins_home’ outside, we can simply run the ‘cat ~/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword’ command to get access to the initial administrator password. 5/42 Listing Jenkins secret at first startup The administrator password is simply pasted into the password field. Clicking ‘Continue’ displays the image for installation of plugins. Just click ‘Install suggested plugins’. As is the case with everything else in Jenkins, this is really well-thought-out. Jenkins then starts installing plugins. Installation of plugins. Select ‘Install Jenkins’ installation of plugins. suggested plugins’ Enter the first user and Jenkins is ready for use. 6/42 Creating the first user Ready for use Proceeding to installation of the necessary external tools. Installing external programs We have chosen to run Jenkins in a read-only Docker image. This means that all the programs we install will disappear next time the Docker container is rebooted. Normally, a custom Docker container is created using a purpose-built Docker file, but this is outside the scope of this document (Googling custom jenkins docker image will produce lots of relevant hits). Below, we are going to install the programs temporarily but the same commands may easily be added to a Docker file which will bring you a long way in the process. To install the programs within the Docker container we need to know its ID. This is retrieved by writing the command ‘sudo docker ps’ in a terminal and read the ID as illustrated below. Identifying the ID for a Docker container. The ID is used in the next sections with the reference <DOCKER ID>. 7/42 In each of the following sections, we will start by entering the Docker container and end by exiting it again. Naturally, this is not necessary, if all the installations are done together. Cppcheck The Cppcheck tool is used to carry out staticcode analysis on the source code. The project is hosted on Sourceforge here: http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/ This is a tool which carries out a VERY thorough code analysis; its a good idea to add it right from the start to enable developers to rectify findings on an ongoing basis. The project is very active, and there will be a new release approximately every three months.

(Raimundo Barreto) I certify that I have read this dissertation and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a dissertation for the degree of Master of Science. (Herbert Rocha) Approved for the Institute of Computing Committee on Postgraduate Studies iii Abstract In the last three decades, memory safety issues in low-level programming languages such as C or C++ have been one of the significant sources of security vulnerabilities; however, there exist only a few attempts with limited success to cope with the complexity of C++ program verification. This work describes and evaluates a novel verification approach based on bounded model checking (BMC) and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) to verify C++ programs formally. This verification approach analyzes bounded C++ programs by encoding various sophisticated features that the C++ programming language offers into SMT, such as templates, sequential and associative containers, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling.

  • Code Audit Report
    Code Audit Report Muhammad Uzair May 25, 2017 Abstract Many applications are being used by individuals and businesses these days. Also, these applications becoming a part of daily life. These appli- cations use personal information and sometimes very important business transaction information. The security of that information is a very im- portant issue. To make the information secure enough, it is required that the application is working as it should be. Code audit/review is done in this regard. If there are any flaws, weaknesses, threats or any kind of vulnerabilities found in the code, then actions are taken accordingly and fixes are applied. Some code audits examples are presented in this report and then the code audit report of DigiDoc is presented, which is a module of Open-EID. 1 Introduction Security of the applications being used is a major concern nowadays. Applica- tions have become a very common part of our daily life. These applications are being used for business and for personal use. Personal data, internal organi- zational data is managed by these applications so it is critical and essential to protect this data. There are many challenges when we talk about the protection of this important data and the security of these applications. Also the exposure to internet has made these applications a prime target for the information they contain. There are many advantages of Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS). One of them is that their source code is available which enables anyone to check the code and fix bugs, anyone can add new features and it is also important from security point of that anyone can check the security of the code and make it better.

  • Conversational Code Analysis: the Future of Secure Coding Fitzroy D
    i i “conversational˙analysis˙chapter” — 2021/5/14 — 0:17 — page 1 — #1 i i This chapter was accepted on May 12, 2021 for publication in the book Coding Theory - Recent Advances, New Perspectives and Applications, IntechOpen, London Chapter 1 Conversational Code Analysis: The Future of Secure Coding Fitzroy D. Nembhard and Marco M. Carvalho Abstract The area of software development and secure coding can benefit signifi- cantly from advancements in virtual assistants. Research has shown that many coders neglect security in favor of meeting deadlines. This shortcoming leaves systems vulnerable to attackers. While a plethora of tools are available for programmers to scan their code for vulnerabilities, finding the right tool can be challenging. It is therefore imperative to adopt measures to get programmers to utilize code analysis tools that will help them produce more secure code. This chapter looks at the limitations of existing approaches to secure coding and proposes a methodology that allows programmers to scan and fix vulnerabili- ties in program code by communicating with virtual assistants on their smart devices. With the ubiquitous move towards virtual assistants, it is important to design systems that are more reliant on voice than on standard point-and-click and keyboard-driven approaches. Consequently, we propose MyCodeAnalyzer, a Google Assistant app and code analysis framework, which was designed to interactively scan program code for vulnerabilities and flaws using voice commands during development. We describe the proposed methodology, implement a prototype, test it on a vulnerable project and present our results. Keywords: secure coding, virtual assistant, code analysis, static analysis 1.
