Summary

XMonkey Curator is a tool that performs DESCAM (Decompose, Enumerate, Scanning, Catalog, Analysis, Merge) review to software for Open Source License Compliance.

The tool can extract (DECOMPOSE) archive files like Jar, ZIP, Tarballs, RPM, Debian, etc., to recursively obtain the list of assets (Enumerate) contained.

XMonkey Curator also performs a basic review (Scanning) of the assets to extract information as “features” for OSLC assessments. Scan types supported:

Alpha Version: * Literal Strings * Symbols Matching using predefined signatures. * License detection (using OSLiLi) * Regex Patterns

Beta Version: * FuzzyHashing (using LSH or SSDeep) * Generate OSS Notices * Improve external rules for automatic classification

The results of the review can be automatically processed (Catalog) using predefined rules and workflows (Analysis).

Current support: ELF, Mach-OS, Objective-C, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Rust, Perl, C++

$ pip install xmonkey-curator
$ xmonkey-curator scan --help
Usage: xmonkey-curator scan [OPTIONS] PATH

  Scan target files using selected options

Scanning to identify files

In order to perform a full scan, you must select the option “unpack” that will export the content of any archive file.

$ xmonkey-curator scan ffmpeg-6.0.tar.xz -u -s -o ffmpeg-source.json

Scanning to export symbols and match with signatures

Using the option “match”, will attempt to identify packages by matching symbols with signatures.

$ xmonkey-curator scan ffmpeg-6.0.tar.xz -u -s -m -p

Generating signatures

You can create signatures by performing scans to source code and binary of a package, looking for signifcative symbols.

Then you can use the included script to check what symbols from the source code has survived the compilation.

$ xmonkey-curator scan ffmpeg-6.0.tar.xz -u -s -o ffmpeg-source.json
$ xmonkey-curator scan ffmpeg-4.4.1-linux-64.zip -u -s -o ffmpeg-binary.json
$ ./scripts/signature_generator.py ffmpeg-source.json ffmpeg-binary.json
