RIPS

A static source code analyser for vulnerabilities in PHP scripts

Requirements

• web server: Apache or Nginx recommended
• PHP: latest version recommended
• browser: Firefox recommended

Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Extract the files to your local web server's document root
3. Make sure your web server has file permissions
4. Make sure your installation is protected from unauthorized access
5. Open your browser at http://localhost/rips-xx/

Usage

Follow the instructions on the main page.

Command Line Interface - CLI

Usage

See original php-rips scan html form (index.php) for more options.

  php index.php [option=value]

Options	Value
loc	target scan file/folder
subdir	recurse subdirs [0|1]
ignore_warning	[0|1]
vector	scan vectors [all|...]
verbosity	log verbosity [0-9]
treestyle	html output style [0|1]
stylesheet	html output stylesheet [ayti|...]

Example: recursively scan ./code for all vuln. classes

  php index.php loc=./code subdirs=1 vector=all verbosity=2

Note: in cli-mode argv wil be parsed into $_POST therefore allowing you to set any POST variables.

Jenkins-CI Integration Notes

1. install the html publisher plugin

2. configure (multiple) scm to clone both this repository and the source you want to scan to distinct folders

3. add build step: execute shell

   # config - remove this if you configure it via jenkins parameterized builds
   PATH_RIPS=rips-scanner
   PATH_REPORT=report
   FILE_REPORT=report.html
   PATH_TARGET=code
   RIPS_RECURSE_SUBDIR=1
   RIPS_VECTOR=all
   RIPS_VERBOSITY=2
   # copy dependencies
   mkdir -p report
   cp -r rips-scanner/css report
   cp -r rips-scanner/js report
   # run analysis
   echo "========================================================="
   echo "[**] running scan ... $PATH_TARGET"
   echo "========================================================="
   php $PATH_RIPS/index.php ignore_warning=1 loc=$PATH_TARGET subdirs=$RIPS_RECURSE_SUBDIR vector=$RIPS_VECTOR verbosity=$RIPS_VERBOSITY treestyle=1 stylesheet=ayti > $PATH_REPORT/$FILE_REPORT
   echo "========================================================="
   echo "[**] scan done ... check out $PATH_REPORT/$FILE_REPORT"
   echo "========================================================="

4. add build step: execute python

   import os, sys
   import rips_stats as rips
   if __name__=="__main__":
       report = os.path.join(os.environ.get("PATH_REPORT","report"),os.environ.get("FILE_REPORT","report.html"))
       sys.exit(rips.main([report]))

5. add post-build step: publish html, select folder 'report' name 'vulnerability-report'. A new clickable action icon 'vulnerability-report' will appear that points at the archived scan result.

Development

The community branch of RIPS is forked from version 0.55 and is not officially supported by RIPS Technologies.

A completely rebuilt solution is available from RIPS Technologies that overcomes fundamental limitations in the open source version and performs state-of-the-art security analysis.
