Subject: Security vulnerability tools
Hi,
I'd like to get a better understanding of tools used in the open source
community (kernel and user space) to detect security vulnerabilities.
I have a list below to get started. If anyone has any input, I'd
appreciate it!
I'll plan on updating http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/tools with
anything it doesn't already have.
