Fuzzers

Name	Repository	Description
Cargo Fuzz	https://github.com/rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz	Command-line wrapper for using libFuzzer. Easy to use, no need to recompile LLVM!
honggfuzz-rs	https://github.com/rust-fuzz/honggfuzz-rs	A fuzzer developed by Google.
afl.rs	https://github.com/rust-fuzz/afl.rs	Allows one to run the AFL fuzzer on code written in the Rust programming language.
cargo-libafl	https://github.com/AFLplusplus/cargo-libafl	A fuzzer backed by LibAFL
fuzzcheck	https://github.com/loiclec/fuzzcheck-rs	An experimental fuzzing engine that mutates Rust data structures directly, bypassing conversion to/from byte strings
QuickCheck	https://github.com/BurntSushi/quickcheck	QuickCheck is a way to do property based testing using randomly generated input.
Proptest	https://github.com/altsysrq/proptest	Proptest is a property testing framework (i.e., the QuickCheck family) inspired by the Hypothesis framework for Python.
rusty-radamsa	https://github.com/microsoft/rusty-radamsa	Radamsa ported to Rust. Fuzzer with good mutators but lacking coverage guidance.

Model Checkers

Name	Repository	Description
Loom	https://github.com/carllerche/loom	Loom is a model checker for concurrent Rust code. It exhaustively explores the behaviors of code under the C11 memory model, which Rust inherits.
rutenspitz	https://github.com/jakubadamw/rutenspitz	А procedural macro to be used for testing/fuzzing stateful models against an equivalent implementation.
Rust Model Checker (RMC)	https://github.com/model-checking/rmc	Bit-precise Rust model checker based on CBMC.

Linters

Name	Repository	Description
Cargo Clippy	https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy	A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.

Static Analyzers

Name	Repository	Description
MIRAI	https://github.com/facebookexperimental/MIRAI	Mirai is an abstract interpreter for the Rust compiler's mid-level intermediate representation (MIR). It is intended to become a widely used static analysis tool for Rust.
Prusti	https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev	A static verifier for Rust, based on the Viper verification infrastructure.
Crux	https://github.com/GaloisInc/crucible	Symbolic execution tool to run tests on all possible inputs, exhaustively.
Rudra	https://github.com/sslab-gatech/Rudra	Static analyzer for finding memory safety bugs in `unsafe` Rust code.
L3X	https://github.com/VulnPlanet/l3x/	AI-driven Static Analyzer.

Dynamic Analyzers

Name	Repository	Description
sanitizers	built into the compiler	Provides sanitizers for checking uninitialized memory access, uses of freed memory, memory leaks and data races between threads.
Miri	https://github.com/rust-lang/miri	An experimental interpreter for Rust's mid-level intermediate representation (MIR). It can run binaries and test suites of cargo projects and detect certain classes of undefined behavior, including Rust-specific ones that sanitizers cannot detect. Moreover, it can do this for arbitrary CPU architectures independent of the host ("cross-interpretation").

Language-independent tools such as Valgrind, Dr. Memory, libdiffuzz etc. also work.

Input Sanitizing

Name	Repository	Description
untrusted.rs	https://github.com/briansmith/untrusted	Allows for reliable and efficient parsing of untrusted inputs in Rust.
dangerous	https://github.com/avitex/rust-dangerous	Similar to `untrusted` but with a different API and more verbose error messages
semval	https://github.com/slowtec/semval	Library for semantic validation of complex data structures in Rust.

Hardened Allocators

Name	Repository	Description
scudo	https://github.com/google/rust-scudo	Rust bindings for the LLVM project's Scudo hardened allocator.
mimalloc	https://github.com/purpleprotocol/mimalloc_rust	Rust bindings for Microsoft's mimalloc allocator. Security features are an optional build-time configuration.

Vulnerability Disclosure

Name	Repository	Description
RustSec Advisory Database	https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db/	The RustSec Advisory Database is a repository of security advisories filed against Rust crates published via https://crates.io. Works closely with Cargo Audit.
RustSec Advisory Client	https://github.com/RustSec/rustsec-crate	Client library for accessing the RustSec Security Advisory Database: fetches the advisory-db (or other compatible) git repository and audits Cargo.lock files against it. It is mainly used by Cargo Audit but may be useful if you would like to consume the RustSec advisory database in other capacities.
Cargo Audit	https://github.com/RustSec/cargo-audit	Audit Cargo.lock for crates with security vulnerabilities reported to the RustSec Advisory Database.
Crates Audit	https://gitlab.com/zachreizner/crates-audit/	A tool to cross-reference the crates.io index with the RustSec Advisory database.
Cargo deny	https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny	A tool for checking your dependencies given some set of predefined rules. It can check for license conflict, banned crates, vulnerabilities and source of crates. The rules are defined in the `deny.toml` file and can be configured for your needs.

Dependency Checker

Name	Repository	Description
Cargo Geiger	https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-geiger	A program that list statistics related to usage of unsafe Rust code in a Rust crate and all its dependencies.
Cargo Guppy	https://github.com/facebookincubator/cargo-guppy	A program/library for performing queries on Cargo dependency graphs
Siderophile	https://github.com/trailofbits/siderophile/	A program that list statistics of functions that use unsafe code in their call graph. It helps find fuzzing candidates.

Side-Channel Vulnerability Checking

Name	Repository	Description
SideFuzz	https://github.com/phayes/sidefuzz	SideFuzz is an adaptive fuzzer that uses a genetic-algorithim optimizer in combination with t-statistics to find side-channel (timing) vulnerabilities in cryptography compiled to wasm.
dudect-bencher	https://github.com/rozbb/dudect-bencher	Implements the DudeCT statistical methods for testing constant-time functions. It is based loosely off of the bencher crate.
ctgrind	https://github.com/RustCrypto/utils/tree/master/ctgrind	Tool for checking that functions are constant time using Valgrind. Based on the work of Adam Langley and Michael Gehring.

Code Review

Name	Repository	Description
cargo crev	https://github.com/dpc/crev	crev is an code review system as opposed to typically practiced code-change review system.
cargo vet	https://github.com/mozilla/cargo-vet	a tool to help projects ensure that third-party Rust dependencies have been audited by a trusted source.

Books/Guides

Name	Repository	Description
Secure Rust Guidelines	https://github.com/ANSSI-FR/rust-guide	A guide providing recommendations and resources for secure application development in Rust.

Groups of people

Name	Repository	Description
Rust Secure Code Working Group (Secure Code WG)	https://github.com/rust-secure-code/wg	Us, an official Rust working group: "Making it easy to write secure code in Rust"
Rust Formal Methods Interest Group (RFMIG)	https://github.com/rust-formal-methods/wg	Interest group for using formal methods to verify the correctness of Rust software — not part of the Rust governance structure
Rust VMM community	https://github.com/rust-vmm/community	"rust-vmm is an open-source project [...] to build custom Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs) and hypervisors"
