Slither : Static Analyzer for Solidity

Slither is a Solidity static analysis framework written in Python 3. It runs a suite of vulnerability detectors, prints visual information about contract details, and provides an API to easily write custom analyses.

It enables developers to find vulnerabilities, enhance their code comprehension, and quickly prototype custom analyses.

Features

Detects vulnerable Solidity code with low false positives
Identifies where the error condition occurs in the source code
Easily integrates into continuous integration and Truffle builds
Built-in ‘printers’ quickly report crucial contract information
Detector API to write custom analyses in Python
Ability to analyze contracts written with Solidity >= 0.4
Intermediate representation (SlithIR) enables simple, high-precision analyses
Correctly parses 99.9% of all public Solidity code
Average execution time of less than 1 second per contract

Usage

Run Slither on a Truffle/Embark/Dapp/Etherlime application:

slither .

Run Slither on a single file:

$ slither tests/uninitialized.sol

For additional configuration, see the usage documentation.

Use solc-select if your contracts require older versions of solc.

How to install?

Slither requires Python 3.6+ and solc, the Solidity compiler.

Using Pip

$ pip install slither-analyzer

Using Git

$ git clone https://github.com/crytic/slither.git && cd slither
$ python setup.py install

We recommend using an Python virtual environment, as detailed in the Developer Installation Instructions, if you prefer to install Slither via git.

Using Docker

Use the eth-security-toolbox docker image. It includes all of our security tools and every major version of Solidity in a single image. /home/share will be mounted to /share in the container. Use solc-select to switch the Solidity version.

docker pull trailofbits/eth-security-toolbox

To share a directory in the container:

docker run -it -v /home/share:/share trailofbits/eth-security-toolbox
