Reachability Analysis

Depscan can perform reachability analysis for Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python with built-in support for parsing atom reachables slicing. Simply invoke depscan with the research profile and language type to enable this feature.

To receive a verbose output including the reachable flows, pass the argument --explain

--profile research -t language [--explain]

Example analysis for a Java project​

depscan --profile research -t java -i <source directory> --reports-dir <reports directory> --explain

Example analysis for a JavaScript project​

depscan --profile research -t js -i <source directory> --reports-dir <reports directory> --explain

Example analysis for a PHP project​

Ensure PHP > 7.4 is installed. However, we support scanning PHP 5.2 - 8.3. Alternatively, use the depscan container image.

depscan --profile research -t php -i <source directory> --reports-dir <reports directory> --explain
