Projects | AboutCode.org

AboutCode has been designed as a modular stack of applications, tools, libraries and data. We maintain, support and contribute to key open source projects that support healthy software supply chains. Some of these key projects are listed below.
All of the software is open source (primarily licensed under Apache-2.0) and all of the data is open (primarily licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0).
DejaCode provides an enterprise-level application to automate open source license compliance and ensure software supply chain integrity, powered by ScanCode.
ScanCode.io provides a Web UI and API to run and review complex scans in rich scripted pipelines, on different kinds of containers, docker images, package archives, manifests etc, to get information on licenses, copyrights, sources, and vulnerabilities.
VulnerableCode provides a Web UI and API to access a database of known software package vulnerabilities with comprehensive information from upstream and downstream public sources including packages affected by a vulnerability and packages that fix a vulnerability. There is a public VulnerableCode database at: https://public.vulnerablecode.io/ and the project also provides the tools to build your own instance of the database.
ClearlyDefined curates and serves open source component metadata for license, copyright, source, and security compliance.
ScanCode Toolkit is a set of code scanning tools that detect the origin (copyrights), license and vulnerabilities of code, packages and dependencies in a codebase.
ScanCode LIcenseDB is a free and open database of software and related licenses with over 2400 curated license texts, their metadata and ScanCode license detection rules. There is a public database available at: https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/
ScanCode Workbench is an application to visualize and review scan results from ScanCode Toolkit scans. You can install and use the Workbench on a Linux, MacOS or Windows desktop.
Post-scan plugin to improve the accuracy of license detection by leveraging ScanCode scan data.
scancode-action enables you to run ScanCode.io pipelines from your Workflows.
Set of plugins either delivered as builtin scancode-toolkit or extra plugins.
Collection of plugins that makes matchcode-related functions available for scancode-toolkit and scancode.io.
federatedcode is a decentralized, federated metadata system for open source software code and security information.
aboutcode-toolkit is a set of command line tools to document the provenance of your code and generate attribution notices. aboutcode-toolkit uses small yaml files to document code provenance inside a codebase.
Package-URL (PURL) is a specification to reliably identify and locate software packages across package ecosystems.
PURLDB provides tools to create and update a database of package metadata keyed by PURL (Package URL) and an API for the PURL data.
Command line utility and library to use the PurlDB, its API and various related libraries.
Decentralized PURL validator so that libraries can use it offline and help them create better PURLs.
Go library for validating Package URLs (PURLs). It works fully offline, including in air-gapped or restricted environments.
Python library to parse and build Package-URLs aka PURLs.
univers is a Python package to parse and compare all package versions and package version ranges. Parse and compare all the package versions and all the ranges. From debian, npm, pypi, ruby and more. Process all the version range specs and expressions.
Library of utilities to introspect source and binary Android apps and Android device firmware.
binary-inspector is a utility to extract symbols from various kinds of binaries, i.e. ELF, Mach-O, WinPE and other binary formats.
container-inspector is a tool to analyze the structure and provenance of software components in Docker images using static analysis.
debian-inspector is a tool to inspect debian codebases.
General purpose, mostly universal software package dependency resolver.
elf-inspector is a set of utilities to inspect binary ELF files and collect interesting data from them.
go-inspector is a utility to extract dependencies and symbols from Go binaries.
nuget-inspector is a tool to inspect manifests and code to resolve dependencies (vulnerable and non-vulnerable) for nuget packages.
python-inspector is a tool to inspect manifests and code to resolve dependencies (vulnerable and non-vulnerable) for python packages.
Python library to collect data from RPM packages including installed packages.
rust-inspector is a utility to extract dependencies and symbols from Rust binaries.
source-inspector is a set of utilities to inspect and analyze source code and collect interesting data such as code symbols, strings and comments.
Open source tools to find code that may have been generated using LLMs and GPT tools.
Pure python implementation for pyahocorasick.
Pure python implementation for intbitset.
commoncode provides a set of common functions and utilities for handling various things like paths, dates, files and hashes.
extractcode is a mostly universal file extraction library and CLI tool to extract almost any archive in a reasonably safe way on Linux, macOS and Windows.
fetchcode is a utility to reliably fetch any code via HTTP, FTP and version control systems such as git.
