OWASP Orizon Project

OWASP Orizon is a source code security scanner designed to spot vulnerabilities in J2EE web applications, Android code and generally speaking in Java written source code.

Description

Owasp Orizon is a source code static analyzer tool designed to spot security issues in Java applications.

Owasp Orizon mission is to provide people an opensource tool, helping them in reviewing:

• single Java classes
• Java standalone tools packed in JAR files
• web applications packed in EAR / WAR files
• Android APK applications

It was a dark and stormy night in Milan, Italy. It was 2006 and I felt the need of something helping me in reviewing other people java source code. So Owasp Orizon born and grew up as security tool trying to parse Java source code, building an Abstract Syntax Tree and spot for unsafe calls in the code.

In the very beginning Owasp Orizon was a sort of enhanced grep tool. In 2008, I started supporting PHP programming language but the initial boost disappeared. After being in love with other programming languages and technolgies, eight years later, in 2017 I kickstarted the project again from scratch.
