cargo-geiger is a cargo plugin that scans a Rust crate and its dependency tree to report statistics on unsafe Rust code usage. It provides audit input for tools like cargo-crev and the safety-dance initiative.

Use cases

• detect unsafe rust in dependencies
• audit rust crate dependency tree for unsafe code
• check if a crate uses unsafe blocks
• supply chain security audit for rust projects
• find unsafe code usage statistics in cargo project
• evaluate rust dependencies before adoption

When to choose

• you want to quantify unsafe code across an entire dependency tree
• you are performing security or supply-chain audits of Rust crates
• you want a cargo-integrated CLI with machine-readable report output

When to avoid

• you need a definitive security verdict - it only reports unsafe usage statistics, not exploitability
• you need a stable library API - the exposed libraries are explicitly unstable
• you are auditing non-Rust codebases
