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:
```
slither .
```

Run Slither on a single file:
```
$ slither tests/uninitialized.sol
[..]
INFO:Detectors:
Uninitialized.destination (tests/uninitialized.sol#5) is never initialized. It is used in:
- transfer (tests/uninitialized.sol#7-9)
Reference: https://github.com/trailofbits/slither/wiki/Vulnerabilities-Description#uninitialized-state-variables
[..]
```

Slither can be run on:
- A `.sol` file
- A Truffle directory
- A directory containing `*.sol` files (all the `*.sol` files will be analyzed)
- A glob (be sure to quote the argument when using a glob)

### 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
